Associate Veterinarian

We are working on behalf of a well-established, independently owned small animal practice in Shelburne Falls, MA that is looking to welcome an experienced Associate Veterinarian to its team.This is a genuinely non-corporate clinic with decades of goodwill and a loyal, long standing client base, many of whom have trusted the practice for fifteen to twenty years or more. The role centers on classic dog and cat general practice, with a manageable caseload of roughly fifteen to twenty patients a day, thirty-minute appointments for new and sick visits, and a calm, low-stress environment that puts quality of care first. You would work from a comfortable one story hospital with a brand new digital X-ray unit, a therapeutic laser, in-house lab capability, and a full dentistry setup, supported by an experienced, cross-trained team who know the practice inside out. There is no emergency duty, with after hours cases referred to a dedicated ER a short drive away.What makes this opportunity stand out is the clear pathway to practice ownership. The owner is planning a gradual, well-supported transition and is open to an associate buying in over time or purchasing the practice outright, so the role can be shaped as a clinical position with a route to ownership or as a straight purchase for the right person. If you value autonomy, a rural lifestyle, and the chance to build something of your own in a proven, community-focused clinic, this is well worth a conversation.Key HighlightsIndependently owned, non-corporate practice with decades of community goodwillClear pathway to practice ownership, whether a gradual buy-in over time or an outright purchaseClassic dog and cat general practice with a manageable fifteen to twenty patient daily caseloadThirty-minute appointments for new and sick visits, supporting unhurried, high-quality careNo emergency duty, with after-hours cases referred to a nearby ERBrand new digital X-ray, therapeutic laser, in-house lab, and full dentistry setupExperienced, cross-trained support team who know the practice inside outFour-day work week in a quiet, safe, rural Western Massachusetts communityHands-on, well-supported transition from a long-tenured ownerAbout YouDVM or equivalent degree that allows you to practice veterinary medicine in the USYou hold, or are eligible for, licensure in MassachusettsConfident and independent in day-to-day small animal GP medicine and routine surgeryComfortable with bread-and-butter procedures such as spays, neuters, mass removals, and dentalsYou value a low-stress, non-corporate environment and a rural lifestyleOpen to the possibility of practice ownership over timeBenefitsCompetitive straight salary with no production targets or percentage pay to trackEmployer-contributing health insuranceThree weeks paid vacation to startPaid continuing education allowance with dedicated CE timeFlexible package to align with your own preferencesA genuine, supported pathway toward practice ownershipNext StepsIf you are interested, hit "Apply" or for a confidential chat to find out more, simply email ben@atlasconsultancygroup.com or call the office at (980) 202 4966.
