Job description

Build Something Exceptional With Us
Third Small Animal Surgeon
Midwest Veterinary Specialists | Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Midwest Veterinary Specialists is growing, and we are seeking a third small animal surgeon to join our thriving surgical team in southeast Wisconsin. Competitive compensation, no negative accrual, flexible scheduling, and partnership opportunities available.
This is an opportunity to become part of something special: a rapidly growing, surgeon-led practice that combines clinical excellence, cutting-edge facilities, genuine work-life balance, and the freedom of private ownership. As we continue to grow, we are intentionally building a collaborative three-surgeon team that allows each surgeon to practice outstanding medicine while enjoying the support, flexibility, and camaraderie that can be difficult to find elsewhere.
Midwest Veterinary Specialists is a 100% privately owned specialty hospital focused on orthopedic surgery, soft tissue surgery, sports medicine, rehabilitation, and comprehensive patient care. Since opening our state-of-the-art facility, demand for our services has grown dramatically, creating an exceptional opportunity for another full- or part-time surgeon to join our team and help shape the future of our practice.
This Opportunity Is Different
Join a True Three-Surgeon Team
Rather than practicing in isolation, you'll work alongside experienced surgeons who enjoy collaboration, consultation, and sharing ideas. A three-surgeon model provides greater flexibility for scheduling, vacation coverage, mentorship, case discussion, and long-term sustainability while maintaining clinical autonomy.
Private Practice Freedom
We are independently owned and surgeon-led. Decisions are made by people who understand surgery, patient care, staff wellbeing, and the realities of specialty practice—not by corporate executives or distant management groups.
We measure success by patient outcomes, client experience, team wellbeing, and sustainable growth. We invest heavily in our people, encourage innovation, and empower our doctors to help shape the future direction of the practice.
Build Your Career Your Way
We are looking for a surgeon who wants more than simply filling a schedule. Whether your interests include advanced orthopedics, minimally invasive surgery, neurosurgery, sports medicine, arthroscopy, regenerative medicine, clinical research, resident training, or another area of expertise, we encourage you to develop and grow your niche within our practice.
Work-Life Balance That Actually Exists
Our appointment-based model allows us to provide exceptional specialty care without requiring routine weekend or holiday emergency surgery responsibilities. Client-facing hours are Monday through Friday, creating a schedule that supports both professional fulfillment and personal well-being.
A Hospital Designed by Surgeons, for Surgeons
Our award-winning 9,000-square-foot specialty hospital was purpose-built to maximize efficiency, workflow, collaboration, and surgeon satisfaction.
Highlights include:
• Two expansive orthopedic operating suites
• Dedicated large soft tissue operating room
• Surgical booms and advanced LED lighting systems
• Heated electric surgery tables
• 64-slice GE CT scanner
• High-definition digital radiography
• GE ultrasound system
• Comprehensive implant and instrumentation inventory, including Synthes, Storz, Arthrex, Biomedtrix, IMEX, and more
• Cloud-based medical records and advanced workflow systems
• Spacious treatment, hospitalization, and doctor work areas
Every aspect of the hospital was intentionally designed to help surgeons work efficiently, practice exceptional medicine, and genuinely enjoy coming to work each day.
Integrated Rehabilitation amp; Sports Medicine
One of our greatest strengths is the close integration between surgery, sports medicine, and rehabilitation. Our surgeons work directly alongside our rehabilitation team to optimize patient outcomes from diagnosis through recovery and return to function. This collaborative approach allows us to provide truly comprehensive care while offering surgeons the satisfaction of following patients throughout their entire recovery journey.
Our robust rehabilitation service features:
  • Underwater treadmill therapy
  • SwimEx therapy pool
  • Land treadmill system
  • Shockwave therapy
  • Therapeutic laser
  • Acupuncture
  • Comprehensive rehabilitation gym
A Team Worth Joining
We believe great medicine happens when talented people genuinely enjoy working together. Our culture emphasizes mentorship, collaboration, accountability, innovation, and respect. We invest heavily in our people and are committed to helping each team member grow professionally and personally. We work hard, support one another, celebrate successes, and genuinely enjoy being part of the same team.
Professional Growth Opportunities
We welcome surgeons who are passionate about developing new services, pursuing clinical research, mentoring others, and helping advance the profession. For candidates interested in leadership and long-term involvement in practice growth, meaningful leadership responsibilities and future partnership opportunities are available.
Compensation amp; Benefits
We offer a highly competitive package including:
  • Competitive base salary plus production
  • No negative accrual
  • Relocation assistance
  • Health, dental, life, and disability insurance
  • 401(k) with 4% employer match
  • Generous CE allowance
  • Paid vacation and CE time
  • Professional dues and licensing fees
  • Scrub allowance and pet discount benefits
Why Milwaukee?
Southeast Wisconsin offers an outstanding quality of life with excellent schools, vibrant communities, Lake Michigan living, outdoor recreation, professional sports, exceptional dining, and easy access to Chicago, Madison, and Green Bay. Whether you prefer an urban lifestyle, suburban neighborhood, or rural property, you'll find it here.
Let's Build the Future Together
If you're looking for a place where you can practice exceptional surgery, collaborate with talented colleagues, maintain a fulfilling life outside of work, and help build one of the Midwest's premier specialty hospitals, we'd love to start a conversation.
