Job Description
Associate Veterinarian (DVM) – Flexible Daytime Schedule | Partnership Track
Location: Waukesha, WI
Practice Type: Private Small Animal Practice (Independent & Doctor-Owned for 20+ Years)
Hours: Part-Time or Full-Time Available (Day Practice Only — Set Your Own Hours)
Compensation: 20% Production + Comprehensive Benefits Package + Partnership Potential
About the Practice
For more than two decades, our client has operated as an independent, relationship-driven pillar of the community. They are not a corporate consolidator or a high-volume, revolving-door clinic. They schedule appointments thoughtfully to ensure their doctors have the time needed to build lasting connections, work up cases thoroughly, and practice high-standard medicine without feeling rushed.
Because they have spent over 20 years cultivating a loyal, multi-generational clientele, their pet parents trust clinical guidance and invest in thorough diagnostic and preventative care. Furthermore, the practice is situated within close proximity to regional 24-hour specialty and emergency referral centers, allowing you to hand off complex overnight cases and critical emergencies with complete peace of mind.
The Opportunity: Complete Autonomy & True Flexibility
Whether you are looking for a tailored part-time routine or a full-time role, you can set your own schedule. The practice operates strictly as a daytime clinic with no overnights, no emergency shifts, and no on-call responsibilities.
Clinical Focus:
- Provide attentive, individualized wellness, preventative, and outpatient medical care to dogs and cats.
- Partner with established clients to formulate sound, practical diagnostic and treatment plans.
- Surgery: Soft-tissue surgical and dental comfort/capability is a definite plus (supported by an experienced technical staff and dedicated surgical suite). However, if your preference leans entirely toward outpatient internal medicine, they can structure your appointment flow accordingly.
- New Graduates Welcome: The clinic will provide structured, supportive mentorship from experienced clinicians who want to help you develop your skills at a manageable, stress-free pace.
Compensation & Long-Term Growth
20% Production: High earning potential driven by a loyal, compliance-oriented client base.
Future Equity / Partnership Track: For doctors seeking an ownership stake down the line, clear buy-in and partnership opportunities are available as part of their long-term succession planning.
Benefits Package
The practice provides a comprehensive benefits package for both full-time and qualifying part-time arrangements:
- Healthcare: Medical Insurance coverage.
- Retirement: 401(k) plan with employer contribution/match.
- Time Off: Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays.
- Professional Fees & Insurance: 100% employer-covered Wisconsin State License, DEA registration, and Malpractice / Professional Liability Insurance.
- Continuing Education: Full coverage for one major in-person conference annually, plus covered online CE courses/subscriptions required to maintain your active license.
Candidate Requirements
- Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM / VMD) degree from an AVMA-accredited college.
- Current Wisconsin veterinary license in good standing (or eligible for immediate reciprocity).
- Strong, empathetic communication style and a desire to build genuine relationships with clients and staff.
- Surgical competence is an asset, but clinical curiosity, integrity, and client compassion are our primary requirements.
