Please independently verify any critical information before relying on it. Description Lead a small established clinic without corporate overhead. Independent but with a support team nearby and for a good cause. You became a vet because you loved animals and wanted to improve their lives — and somewhere along the way you found yourself staring at a production dashboard, upselling dental packages, and explaining to a district manager why your average transaction was down 4%. Stop doing that. You're ruining what you love. Muirfield Pet Clinic has served the neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin for over twenty years. When its founding veterinarian retired, he passed the clinic to Precision Veterinary — an independent practice that's been a few miles away for eight years. We're now hiring the primary veterinarian for the Muirfield location: a chance to run your own clinic, your way, with an established team down the road for support and mentorship if you want it. Who we're looking for You're the kind of vet who cares about the client and the pet. You like talking to pet owners, teaching them something about their animal they didn't know, and seeing families and patients grow up together. You take the long view on a patient's life. You recognize that over 99% of a pet's life happens outside the clinic, you take pride in watching people become better pet owners, and you've never been comfortable with the idea that a sick animal is a sales opportunity. You want to practice at a sane pace — appointments long enough to do it right — and you want to make decisions based on what's best for the patient and the client, instead of running them past someone whose job is the quarterly number. What this role actually is You're the first and primary veterinarian at our satellite clinic. You run it. Your clinical judgment, your relationships, your call. You are not on an island. The satellite is a few miles from our main clinic, where an established team — including one of the area's most respected surgeons — backs you up with surgical support, consults, and coverage. An experienced practice manager handles the business and operations side — so you're the medical authority without the business-management overhead.
General small-animal wellness:
preventive care, vaccines, diagnostics, dentals, minor procedures, ongoing case management — with surgical cases supported by the main clinic. About us We're privately owned and operated, and we run this practice on a simple idea: the proceeds go toward making a difference. Over eight years, Precision Veterinary has built relationships with more than 150 area rescues and shelters and provided the care behind 60,000+ adoptions, covering millions in medical costs along the way. The people who own this practice are the people who work in it — and they have no interest in leaving, selling, or buying a boat. Muir Field will remain a neighborhood vet clinic and a way to continue to provide for pets post-adoption for the rest of their lives. About the team The on-site team is small — to start, it's you, a tech, occasionally a surgeon, and the practice manager. The clinic has space for two DVMs, and we're remodeling + updating to design around that. The main clinic nearby has two experienced DVMs and about ten support staff. We have unusually good retention with our techs and assistants — most have been here for years, partly because we're careful to avoid drama when we hire, and partly because we just don't abuse people. We're mostly slightly awkward introverts, because, well, that seems to be most of who works in vet med — but the team is genuinely good people, they work hard, and they're easy to get along with. (A weirdly large number of them also just hang out at the clinic when they're not working, which is a good sign.) The schedule The clinic is currently open during normal business hours but that can be shifted. The team manages its own coverage like adults. When you need time off, we work out coverage within the team. No formal on-call or weekend rotation — we partner with local emergency hospitals for, well, emergencies. Full-time preferred; open to talking about 0.8 if that's what makes this work for you. Compensation Most of this is negotiable, and the broad strokes should look a lot like any other good general practice in the area. We pay well and fairly — not extravagantly, because we don't need to bribe people into compromising their morals or their quality of life: $130,000
  • 150,000 base salary, depending on experience.
20% of your personal production — paid monthly, with your base as a floor you never drop below, and no negative accrual (a slow month never means you 'owe' us). As your practice grows, your income grows with it, directly and transparently. Health, dental, and vision. CE budget + time. Relocation help if you're coming from out of the area. A path to partnership for the right long-term fit. The goal is to grow the broader practice into a Madison institution that keeps the value in the local pet owning community. Where you'd be Madison, Wisconsin — consistently ranked one of the most livable cities in the country. Lakes, four real seasons, a serious food scene, great schools, and the UW School of Veterinary Medicine fifteen minutes away. If you're not local, we'll help you get here. To apply Apply through this posting, or email admin@precisionveterinary.com with your CV and a few sentences about what you're looking for — and what you wish your last job had been. We read every one, and we respond to every serious applicant within a week. Requirements DVM/VMD from an accredited program Wisconsin veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain one before starting DEA registration, or eligibility Experience preferred: comfortable independently managing wellness caseloads, dentals, and minor procedures (surgical backup available from our main clinic) The people part matters most — you like clients, and you want long-term relationships with them and their pets
