Houston, TX, United States

About This Location

In preparation for our upcoming renovation, Neartown Animal Clinic will add a new DVM to the team in December of 2024.

We are a high-functioning, three-doctor team. Our Lead DVM is boarded ABVP in Canine and Feline Practice and all doctors have an ER background which drives their excellence in both medicine and surgery. Supported by a high-functioning team of LVTs and a tenured hospital manager, our doctors are 'high producers', producing over the $750k threshold for up to 30% production bonus.

With a mission to offer gold-standard diagnostics, the clinic is equipped with an in-house lab, digital radiology, digital dental radiographs, ultrasound, and endoscopy coming soon.

This winter will be an exciting time to join the Neartown family with the completion of a renovation that will bring more exam rooms and a dedicated dental suite to accommodate the growing, highly compliant clientele.

We are excited to meet with you!

Benefits

We support our team members with A LOT of programs designed for personal and professional growth including:

Your True PTO vs No Negative Accrual: A Game-Changer for DVMs

Taking time off shouldn't come with a side of anxiety. That's where our True PTO makes all the difference. Forget about the old stress of negative accrual and having to catch up. With True PTO, your base pay is protected - no ifs, ands, or buts. The true benefit? Our veterinarians consistently pocket more cash than they typically would have if they did not have negative accrual. It's not just about avoiding financial penalties for taking a break; it's about genuinely benefiting from it.

High Producers Bonus

Eligible DVMs will earn a bonus payout of up to 10% additional production in the month after contract renewal. The bonus rate will be determined by their contracted production rate and the amount of excess production. Here, you can earn a greater share of the success you help create. And the sky is the limit!

Maternity Leave

FULL PAY for four weeks. Because mamas deserve it.
