Associate Veterinarian (DVM) — San Antonio, TX
Veterinary Medical Center Northwest N Loop 1604 W, San Antonio, TX 78249
Schedule: 4 days on / 3 days off | Rotating shifts (7 AM–4 PM or 9 AM–6 PM) & weekends (8 AM–5 PM) | $135,000+ DOE
Practice Medicine the Way It Should Be Practiced
Veterinary Medical Center Northwest 1604 is a brand-new, full-service small animal clinic on the fast-growing Northwest side of San Antonio — and we're looking for a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine to grow with us from the ground up.
We combine modern diagnostics and comprehensive medical, surgical, and dental care with something that's become rare in veterinary medicine: real relationships with clients and their pets, and real work-life balance for our team. Our 4-on/3-off schedule means three full days off every single week, with predictable 9-hour shifts (7 AM–4 PM or 9 AM–6 PM on weekdays, 8 AM–5 PM on weekends) rotated fairly across the doctor team.
What You'll Do
Provide wellness and preventive care for dogs and cats at every life stage
Perform routine and soft-tissue surgery and dental procedures
Utilize modern in-house diagnostics to get answers quickly and guide treatment
Build lasting relationships with a loyal, growing client base
Play an active role in growing the practice — welcoming new patients, building your own clientele, and helping establish VMC1604 as the go‑to clinic in Northwest San Antonio
Help shape the culture and medical standards of a new practice — your voice matters here
Why VMC1604
4 days on, 3 days off — three full days off, every week
Predictable 9-hour shifts — weekdays rotate between 7 AM–4 PM and 9 AM–6 PM; weekend shifts run 8 AM–5 PM
Rotating weekends shared equitably across the doctor team, so no one is stuck with every weekend
No overnights or on-call
Ground-floor opportunity — join a new clinic and play a hands‑on role in building our clientele and establishing new patients, growing a caseload that's truly yours while helping define how medicine is practiced here
Modern facility and equipment — practice the quality of medicine you were trained for
Supportive, tight-knit team — clients regularly tell us our staff feels like family
Full-service caseload variety — wellness, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, and a unique dedicated cat boarding facility
San Antonio living — no state income tax, affordable cost of living, and one of the best food scenes in Texas
Compensation & Benefits
$135,000+ base salary, depending on experience
Paid time off in addition to your 3-day weekends
CE allowance and paid CE days
Licensure, DEA, and professional dues covered
Liability (PLIT) coverage
Employee pet care discounts
Relocation assistance considered for the right candidate
Details finalized during the offer process.
What We're Looking For
DVM/VMD from an AVMA-accredited program (or ECFVG/PAVE equivalent)
Active Texas veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain one
DEA registration (or eligibility)
Strong communication skills and a genuine love for client education
Comfortable with routine surgery and dentistry (mentorship available — new grads encouraged to apply)
A team player who wants to build something, not just clock in
