Veterinarian

Associate Veterinarian → Future Owner

Tigard, OR (Portland Metro) | Holistic Private Practice | Ownership Track

If you believe veterinary medicine should heal, not rush—and ownership should be earned, not dangled—this one’s for you.

A privately owned, integrative small-animal practice in Tigard, Oregon, is seeking a holistically minded Associate Veterinarian who wants clinical freedom now and ownership with intention.

This is not a volume treadmill. It’s medicine done right—with a clear path to buying in and eventually taking the reins.

The Ownership Track (No Guesswork)

• Defined buy-in/buy-out structure
• Direct mentorship from the current owner
• Gradual transition with transparency—not a surprise exit
• Increased control, influence, and income as ownership progresses

You’re not filling a slot. You’re being developed as the future owner.

The Medicine (Slow, Thoughtful, Effective)

• 8–10 appointments per day
• 30–60 minute appointments
• True integrative care:
  • Acupuncture
  • Chiropractic
  • Homeopathy
  • Herbal medicine
  • Laser therapy
  • Conventional medicine when it’s needed
• IDEXX in-house lab, Class IV laser, full surgical suite
• Long-tenured, highly capable support staff

The Lifestyle (Because Burnout Isn’t a Badge of Honor)

• No nights
• No weekends
• No emergency call
• Portland metro access without Portland chaos

Who This Is For

• Veterinarians committed to holistic, patient-centered care
• Certified (or pursuing certification) in acupuncture, chiro, or homeopathy
• New grads welcome—with real mentorship, not “good luck”

Compensation

• ~$100/hour (~$150K/year) to start
• Full benefits + CE support
• Ownership brings increased autonomy, income potential, and legacy

If your long-term goal is to own a practice that reflects your values, not just survive another 15-minute slot, this is worth a conversation.

Confidential. No pressure.

This is how holistic veterinarians still become owners—without selling their soul or their schedule.

If you or someone you know is interested in discussing this opportunity, you can confidentially submit your CV with your availability to schedule a phone call.
