Job Description

Veterinarian Lead Partner – Existing Practice Opportunity | Mansfield, TX

Salary: $168,000 – $750,000+

Step into an established practice. Lead the next chapter. Build real wealth.

If you're a veterinarian with an entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for leading

teams, and a desire to practice medicine your way, this opportunity offers

something unique.

Rather than building from the ground up, this is an opportunity to partner in an

existing CityVet practice in Mansfield, Texas, stepping into an established

clinic with an existing client base, team, and community presence while shaping

the future of the practice as its next Lead Veterinary Partner.

As Dr. Barber transitions out of the clinic, we're looking for the next

veterinarian leader who is excited to make this practice their own and continue

building on an already strong foundation.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

A Unique Partnership Opportunity

CityVet offers multiple pathways to partnership, and this opportunity is

uniquely positioned for a veterinarian who wants to step into an established

practice environment.

As the next Lead Veterinary Partner in Mansfield, you'll have the opportunity

to:

  • Lead and develop an established team
  • Shape the culture and future vision of the practice
  • Create your own impact while supported by CityVet's proven partnership

You'll still have the medical autonomy, leadership opportunity, and partnership

potential CityVet is known for, while stepping into a clinic already serving a

rapidly growing community.

This keeps the tone aligned with your broader messaging:

* Doesn't diminish de novos

* Reinforces multiple partnership paths

* Keeps Mansfield feeling special

* Still highlights the advantage of inheriting an established practice
