Veterinarian - Co-Owner at Veterinary Practice Partners

<p><strong>Veterinarian – Co-Owner</strong></p> <p><strong>The opportunity</strong></p> <p>Are you ready to take the next step in your veterinary career—not just as a clinician, but as a practice co-owner? We're looking for a full-time DVM who wants to be a co-owner, not just an employee. Our Cainhoy practice is growing steadily with a loyal client base, and we're adding a doctor who can step into real equity ownership alongside a team that already knows how to run a great hospital.</p> <p>This is a partnership model, not a corporate roll-up. You buy in, you own a meaningful stake, and you share in the practice's growth and value. Your name is on the door — and on the balance sheet.</p> <p><strong>You run the medicine</strong></p> <p>No mandated protocols. No corporate formulary telling you what to prescribe. No production quotas dictating how long you spend in an exam room.</p> <p>You decide the workup. You decide the treatment plan. You decide how you practice medicine, because you're the one accountable for the outcome — and the one who benefits when patients and clients stay with you for a decade.</p> <p><strong>What you'd own and operate</strong></p> <ul> <li>An established caseload with room to grow — you're not building from zero</li> <li>Leadership in medical decision making and clinic culture</li> <li>A support team of 2 credentialed techs and 5 support staff</li> <li>A voice in equipment, hiring and scheduling decisions</li> </ul> <p><strong>Compensation &amp; equity</strong></p> <ul> <li>Competitive base salary + production</li> <li>Distributions based on hospital performance and your equity share</li> <li>Leadership training and mentorship from experienced partners</li> <li>Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k), CE</li> <li>VPP-facilitated partner financing (loan support available)</li> </ul> <p>We'll walk you through the full economics — buy-in amount, financing options, historical distributions — early in the conversation. No surprises at the offer stage.</p> <p><strong>What we're looking for</strong></p> <ul> <li>DVM/VMD from an AVMA-accredited school, licensed or license-eligible in South Carolina</li> <li>Small animal general practice experience; comfortable with routine surgery and dentistry</li> <li>Genuine interest in ownership — you want to build something, not just work a shift</li> <li>The judgment and communication skills to be trusted with autonomy</li> <li>New grads with a clear ownership ambition are welcome to apply; we'll build a runway to partnership</li> </ul> <p><strong>Location</strong></p> <p>Cainhoy sits in one of the fastest-growing corridors in the Charleston metro — Berkeley County, minutes from Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant, 25 minutes from downtown Charleston. Beaches, boating, no state tax on Social Security, and a pet-owning population that keeps expanding (7^th happiest place to live per WalletHub’s study ranking 182 US cities).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
