Job Description

East Lake Veterinary Hospital at Center Ranch’s Equine Hospital division seeks to expand our services by adding a part time or full time Equine Associate Veterinarian to our 24/7 team

East Lake is a private, noncorporate veterinary organization making a difference in the lives of people and animals since 1993. Center Ranch’s veterinary operations in Centerville, Texas became a part of the East Lake family in late 2022.

These facilities have served multiple counties providing large and small animal care and surgery through two separate hospitals connected on the same campus.

The Centerville Veterinary Hospital is well appointed with high end equipment, separate small and large animal lodging, medical, surgical facilities, 111 oversized stalls, round pins, large pastures, and ample riding areas over 94 acres.

Additionally, underwater treadmill rehabilitation facilities are available on site. An on-site laboratory provides STAT results on hematology, chemistries, urinalysis, and cytologies.

Additionally, through the use of smart microscope systems and imaging via the most advanced sonography, endoscopy, and digital radiography equipment, answers are provided quickly when time matters most.

Our specialty-level registered sonographers and board-certified radiology representatives are on call when the need arises. Our team works collaboratively and supports each other's professional contributions to the practice and the animals of the community.

East Lake fosters a positive culture allowing students and associates to develop in the areas where their interests are deepest. The combined experience of our group provides a wide array of surgeries and treatments for companion animals.

East Lake's team works hard to make a difference in the lives of pets & people, and the company’s leadership works hard to take care of the team!

The town of Centerville will grow by over 50% with the addition of a stately housing community with multi acre lots surrounding three local lakes, nestled among beautiful forests, winding roads, trails, and surrounded by abundant natural beauty.
