Role summary

Seeking a full-time Veterinarian (DVM/VMD) to become a co-owner of an established, AAHA-accredited small animal practice in Sangaree at Cane Bay, near Summerville, SC.

Ideal for a veterinarian passionate about building a practice and providing high-quality patient care.

Veterinarian – Co-Owner

The opportunity

Are you ready to take the next step in your veterinary career—not just as a clinician, but as a practice co-owner? We're looking for a full-time DVM who wants to be a co-owner, not just an employee. Our Sangaree at Cane Bay practice is growing steadily with a loyal client base, and we're adding a doctor who can step into real equity ownership alongside a team that already knows how to run a great hospital.

This is a partnership model, not a corporate roll-up. You buy in, you own a meaningful stake, and you share in the practice's growth and value. Your name is on the door — and on the balance sheet.

One of the fastest-growing corners of the Charleston metro. An AAHA-accredited hospital with a loyal following. And an open seat at the ownership table. Sangaree Animal Hospital at Cane Bay is seeking a partner doctor — real equity, a real voice in how the practice grows, and support behind you instead of the risk of going solo. You'd join a two-doctor team that's been keeping tails wagging since 2014 and has the "Best of Summerville" hardware to prove it, in a Berkeley County market up 35% over the past decade.

You run the medicine

No mandated protocols. No corporate formulary telling you what to prescribe. No production quotas dictating how long you spend in an exam room.

You decide the workup. You decide the treatment plan. You decide how you practice medicine, because you're the one accountable for the outcome — and the one who benefits when patients and clients stay with you for a decade.

What you'd own and operate

  • An established caseload with room to grow — you're not building from zero
  • Leadership in medical decision making and clinic culture
  • A voice in equipment, hiring and scheduling decisions
  • Compensation & equity

  • Competitive base salary + production
  • Distributions based on hospital performance and your equity share
  • Leadership training and mentorship from experienced partners
  • Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k), CE
  • VPP-facilitated partner financing (loan support available)
  • We'll walk you through the full economics — buy-in amount, financing options, historical distributions — early in the conversation. No surprises at the offer stage.

    What we're looking for

  • DVM/VMD from an AVMA-accredited school, licensed or license-eligible in South Carolina
  • Small animal general practice experience; comfortable with routine surgery and dentistry
  • Genuine interest in ownership — you want to build something, not just work a shift
  • The judgment and communication skills to be trusted with autonomy
  • Location

    Cane Bay sits just outside Summerville, South Carolina, in Berkeley County — one of the fastest-growing counties in the country, up 35% over the past decade. It's Lowcountry living with a master-planned community feel, and downtown Charleston, its restaurants, and the coast all a short drive away.
