About this role
Become an Owner, Not Just an Employee
Tequesta Veterinary Clinic is seeking a Partner Doctor to join our team and buy into the practice.
If you've spent your career building someone else's equity, this is the alternative. In partnership with Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP), you acquire a meaningful ownership stake in the hospital, participate in its profits and long-term value, and have a genuine seat at the table on how the practice is run — without personally carrying the real estate, the payroll system, the compliance burden, or the 10 p.m. QuickBooks sessions.
The Opportunity
Direct equity ownership in Tequesta Veterinary Clinic — with a structured buy-in / doctor-friendly financing options available
Share in distributions and in the practice's long-term appreciation
A second bite at the apple — participate in future value creation across VPP
Full clinical autonomy — formulary, treatment plans, pricing philosophy, and standards of care stay with the doctors
A path, not a promise
The Practice
AAHA-accredited and Fear Free certified — accreditation is maintained, not aspirational
2-doctor small animal practice with a tenured support team
Broad case mix: wellness and preventive care, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, in-house diagnostics, laser therapy, pain management, integrative medicine and acupuncture, and compassionate end-of-life care
Established, loyal, referral-driven client base
Schedule: Mon–Fri 8–5, Sat 9–1. No overnight emergency duty
365 Cypress Dr., Tequesta, FL 33469
The Location
Tequesta sits at the northern tip of Palm Beach County, between the Loxahatchee River and the Atlantic. Jupiter Island beaches, blue-water fishing, Jonathan Dickinson State Park, and top-rated schools are all within a few miles. No state income tax. Palm Beach International is 30 minutes south. It is, plainly, one of the better places in the country to own a veterinary practice and raise a family.
Who We're Looking For
DVM/VMD from an AVMA-accredited school; Florida licensure or eligibility for licensure
2+ years in small animal general practice — comfortable running a full day independently

Excellent communicator who builds long-term client relationships
