Buchanan Dam, TX

On-site

Posted April 30, 2026

Job Description

Lake Area Animal Clinic in Buchanan Dam is a well-established, 2-DVM small animal practice located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

This is a rare mix: a slower-paced GP (10–15 appointments/day) with a strong support team, real mentorship, and—honestly—a lifestyle most clinics can’t compete with.

We’re closed on weekends, located right by the lake, and built for doctors who want to practice great medicine and have a life outside the clinic.

$25,000 Sign-On Bonus

Clinic Snapshot

Practice Type: Small Animal GP
Average Daily Patient Volume: 10–15 appointments/day
Support Staff Ratio: Strong technician + CSR support
Case Mix: Wellness, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, urgent care, internal medicine
Technology: Digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab, modern surgical/monitoring equipment
Team Culture: Collaborative, mentorship-driven, and client-focused

Why This Role Stands Out

Work-life balance actually exists: Closed weekends + manageable caseload
Mentorship you can count on: Great fit for new grads or anyone wanting to grow in surgery
Medical autonomy: Practice medicine your way with support when you need it
Location: Lake life, Hill Country views, and still within reach of a city

Total Rewards & How We Invest in You

Competitive base salary + production bonus
DVM Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Cash Program (paid on top of production)
No negative accrual
Relocation assistance + sign-on bonus
Generous CE allowance + paid licenses/dues

Strong clinical foundation and interest in surgery
Team-oriented mindset and good communication skills
Passion for client education and relationship-building

About the Area

Located near Marble Falls and Burnet, Buchanan Dam offers easy access to boating, hiking, and some of the best scenery in Texas.

You’re about an hour from Austin—close enough for city energy, far enough to enjoy peace, space, and a lower cost of living.
