Associate Veterinarian

Aloha Veterinary Clinic | Los Fresnos, Texas

We're looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join Aloha Veterinary Clinic, a locally owned small-animal practice in South Texas, just minutes from South Padre Island.

We're not trying to build the biggest veterinary hospital.

We're building a place where people enjoy practicing medicine, know the clients and pets they care for, have a team they can depend on, and still have time and energy for a life outside of work.

At Aloha, you'll practice alongside our owner and veterinarian, Dr. Kayla Lee, and a close-knit team that believes good veterinary medicine starts with compassion, communication, transparency, and treating people well.

A four-day workweek.

We're open Monday through Thursday, giving our team three-day weekends to rest, travel, spend time with family, hit the beach, or simply have a life outside veterinary medicine.

Real mentorship.

Especially for a new graduate, we don't believe mentorship should mean "call me if you need something." You'll have another veterinarian beside you to discuss cases, work through decisions, develop your skills, and gradually build confidence and independence.

Relationship-based medicine.

We want clients to understand what's happening with their pets and why. Education and transparency are important parts of how we practice, and whenever possible, pets and their people stay together throughout their visit.

A team you actually know.

We're an independent, locally owned practice. You won't disappear into a huge organization. You'll know the technicians and client service team working beside you, and they'll know you.

Room to become the veterinarian you want to be.

We're looking for someone who wants to continue learning and developing their interests. Whether you want to strengthen your surgery skills, become a better diagnostician, improve client communication, or discover an area of medicine you love, we want to help you grow.

We're less interested in finding someone with the perfect résumé than finding the right person for our practice.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are kind, compassionate, curious, and willing to keep learning.
• Value good communication with both clients and teammates.
• Want to collaborate rather than practice on an island.
• Believe clients deserve education and transparency when making decisions about their pets.
• Care about practicing good medicine while recognizing that every client and patient has different circumstances.
• Want to contribute to a positive, supportive workplace.
• Can ask for help when you need it and are willing to help others in return.
• Want to build genuine relationships with clients, patients, and the people you work with.

New graduates are encouraged to apply. We care much more about your character, curiosity, communication, and willingness to learn than how many years you've been practicing.

We know Los Fresnos probably isn't the first place most veterinary students circle on a map.

We think that's worth changing.

Aloha is located in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, about 15 minutes from South Padre Island. Life here means beaches, warm winters, incredible food, local coffee shops, drinks by the water, outdoor adventures, a lower cost of living than many major Texas metros, and a pace of life that's difficult to explain until you've experienced it.

And with a three-day weekend every week, you actually have time to enjoy it.

If you're a veterinary student or new graduate who's curious about Aloha but isn't sure whether South Texas is for you, we'd love for you to experience it before making a decision.

Ask us about an externship.

Spend time in the clinic. Work alongside Dr. Lee and our team. See how we practice. Explore South Texas. Go to the beach. Eat some really good tacos.

Then decide for yourself whether this could feel like home.

We'd love to hear what you're looking for in your next chapter and tell you more about Aloha Veterinary Clinic.
