Build and Grow a Thriving Cardiology Service in Austin, Texas

Violet Crown Veterinary Specialists (VCVS) is seeking a board-certified or residency-trained veterinary cardiologist to help build and grow a thriving Cardiology service within Austin’s only privately owned specialty and emergency hospital.

This opportunity is designed for a cardiologist who wants more than simply inheriting a schedule. We are looking for a clinician who values high-quality medicine, collaboration, clinical autonomy, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing specialty hospital.

Supported by a 24/7 Emergency service, a strong specialty team, and an established referral network throughout Central Texas, this role offers significant opportunity to develop a robust cardiology caseload from day one while building a service that reflects how you practice medicine.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most cardiology opportunities fall into one of two categories:

      Walking into an established service with limited flexibility

      Joining a large corporate system where major decisions are made far from the exam room

VCVS offers something different.  We are proud to be Austin’s only privately owned specialty and emergency hospital.  Our doctors have direct access to decision-makers and meaningful influence over how services are developed, supported, and grown.

As our Cardiologist, you’ll have the opportunity to:

      Build and grow a high-impact Cardiology service

      Influence workflow and service development

      Develop referral relationships throughout Central Texas

      Collaborate closely with Emergency, Surgery, and Oncology clinicians

      Help guide future equipment and service investments

      Expand interventional and advanced cardiology capabilities

      Grow a service within one of the fastest-growing veterinary referral markets in Texas

Your voice matters here.
