Join one of South Texas' premier emergency and specialty hospitals and practice alongside an exceptional team of specialists in a collaborative, supportive environment.

MissionVet Specialty & Emergency is seeking a compassionate and motivated Emergency Veterinarian to join our growing team.

We welcome experienced emergency veterinarians, internship-trained clinicians, experienced general practice and urgent care veterinarians, equine practitioners, and any veterinarian with a strong clinical foundation who is eager to transition into emergency medicine.

Whether you're an established ER doctor or looking to make the exciting move into emergency practice, our team is committed to supporting your success.

For veterinarians seeking additional training, we proudly offer ER Immerse, our structured emergency mentorship program designed to provide the confidence, support, and hands-on experience needed to thrive in emergency medicine. New graduates are encouraged to apply, and experienced clinicians transitioning from other areas of practice are also welcome to participate in mentorship and training based on their individual experience and career goals.

Why MissionVet Specialty & Emergency?

Founded in partnership with Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in 2012, MissionVet Specialty & Emergency has become a trusted leader in emergency and specialty veterinary care throughout San Antonio and South Texas.

Our specialists and emergency clinicians work side-by-side every day, creating a highly collaborative environment where consultation is encouraged, learning never stops, and patient care always comes first.

As our hospital continues to grow, we've made significant investments to enhance both patient care and the experience of our clinical team. We've separated Critical Care and inpatient management from our Emergency service, allowing our ER veterinarians to focus on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating emergency cases. We've also added telemetry monitoring, providing advanced continuous patient monitoring that supports exceptional care for our most critical patients.

Our specialty services include:
  • Emergency & Critical Care
  • Internal Medicine
  • Neurology & Neurosurgery
  • Surgery & Orthopedics

At MissionVet Specialty & Emergency, you'll have the opportunity to:
  • Practice advanced emergency medicine alongside experienced specialists in a collaborative environment.
  • Focus on emergency case management while a dedicated Critical Care and inpatient team supports hospitalized patients.
  • Utilize advanced diagnostics, telemetry monitoring, and modern treatment capabilities to provide exceptional patient care.
  • Work with highly skilled technicians and support staff committed to outstanding medicine.
  • Build lasting relationships with clients and referring veterinarians throughout South Texas.
  • Join a culture that values mentorship, teamwork, compassion, and continuous professional growth.
