Job Description
A rare Veterinarian opportunity at a wonderful, privately-owned, mixed animal practice in beautiful Lobelville, TN, one hour from Nashville.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a community-rooted, family-owned mixed-animal clinic that opened in 2025 with a clear mission: to take exceptional care of animals and the people who raise them. As one of only a few clinics in the area, the team is looking for a confident veterinarian who wants to be a meaningful part of that story and grow the clinic to its full potential.
One thing that sets this role apart is its flexibility. You can choose to take on a fully mixed animal caseload or focus exclusively on small animal medicine, depending on your preference and background. For those who embrace the mixed animal path, the large animal work is as varied as the rural landscape itself, covering farm and equine cases across a wide range of presentations that you simply would not encounter in a suburban general practice. A company vehicle is provided for farm calls.
The practice runs four days a week with absolutely no weekend work, no after-hours requirements, and no on-call, giving you a work-life balance that is difficult to find in veterinary medicine. A sister large-animal clinic and a small-animal-only clinic provide additional support when needed.
The facility is well-equipped for its size, with in-house diagnostics including an IDEXX Catalyst, ProCyte One, INvue, and, digital radiography, small and large animal ultrasound, and a surgical laser. Routine surgeries, including spays, neuters, soft-tissue procedures, dentistry, and more, are performed on two dedicated surgery tables, supported by an exceptional support-staff ratio.
The culture here is built around compassion, mentorship, and community. The two DVM owners are always available to support and are experienced mentors. For the right individual, there is a clear pathway to clinical leadership and there is a genuine opportunity for ownership, making this a rare opportunity to shape a practice from its earliest chapters. An on-site apartment is also available for veterinarians relocating to the area.
