About this role

Urgent Care / Emergency Veterinarian β€” Up to $300K (Cash + Equity Sign-On)

Pearland, TXΒ  β€”Β  Daytime ER ModelΒ  β€”Β  No Overnight Shifts


This is not a typical veterinary position. This opportunity offers both strong immediate compensation and a direct financial stake in a practice positioned for corporate acquisition.

We are building a high-performance daytime emergency hospital in one of the fastest-growing suburbs of Houston. The practice has been independently valued at approximately $3M and is actively preparing for sale. Veterinarians who contribute to this growth will share directly in the financial upside.

This is an ownership-track opportunity designed for veterinarians who want to practice high-quality emergency medicine while building long-term wealth.

  • Estimated 5-Year Equity Growth: $500,000 – $800,000+

Potential total 5-year earnings: $1.2M – $1.5M+

Note: Cash and equity components are contingent on achieving financial targets and completing a practice sale.



What Makes This Opportunity Different

  • True emergency and urgent care medicine during daytime hours (no overnight shifts)
  • High-acuity caseload with surgical volume
  • All presenting patients are seen β€” no diversion or case selection
  • Direct equity participation in a practice preparing for acquisition
  • Clear link between performance and financial upside
  • Predictable rotating 4/3 schedule with shared weekend coverage

Key Responsibilities

Mentorship is available, but candidates must be willing to perform surgery.
