Lakewood Veterinary Center - a Practice That Protects Your Peace.

Associate Veterinarian | East Dallas | No Weekends. No Nights. No Burnout.

Are you looking for a practice that aligns with your passion for medicine and your need for a sustainable life? Welcome to Lakewood Veterinary Center.

We aren't just another clinic; we are a privately owned, ultramodern, 4,100-square-foot hospital in the heart of Lower Greenville. We believe you can be a world-class doctor and still be home in time for dinner (or a walk at White Rock Lake).

Why Lakewood?

• True Independence: We aren’t managed by a boardroom in another state. Our owner is on-site, kind, and invested in your professional happiness.

• The "Unicorn" Schedule: We are strictly closed on weekends and major holidays. No on-call. No emergencies. When you’re off, you’re actually off.

• A Space You’ll Love: Practice medicine in a beautiful, high-tech facility equipped with digital radiography, a full in-house lab, and therapeutic lasers.

• The Neighborhood: Located in East Dallas, we’re steps away from the city’s best coffee, shopping, and trails. It’s the perfect place to spend your lunch break or your post-shift happy hour.

The Package

• Competitive Salary: $120,000 – $160,000 (commensurate with experience/schedule).

• Quarterly Bonuses: We believe in rewarding the team for our collective success.

• Flexibility First: Whether you’re looking for full-time or a specific part-time arrangement, we’ll work to find a rhythm that fits your life.

• Full Benefits: Medical/Dental/Vision, Life & Disability, and a SIMPLE IRA with employer match.

• Growth & Support: CE allowance, professional dues, and a collaborative environment where mentorship isn't just a buzzword—it’s how we operate.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re a DVM (licensed or eligible in Texas) who loves high-quality medicine but hates the drama. You value client education, long-term relationships, and a team that has your back. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a motivated new grad, if you’re compassionate and collaborative, you’ll fit right in.
