Two hospitals. One collaborative team. More variety in your day.


Timbercrest Veterinary Services is seeking an experienced veterinarian to join our team and provide care across our sister hospitals in Atlanta and Lincoln, Illinois.


This is a unique opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys variety in general practice, values strong client relationships, and likes sharing their experience with colleagues. You'll be part of one collaborative veterinary team while getting the variety of practicing in two established community hospitals.


Both full-time and part-time schedules will be considered, with a $60,000 signing bonus package available for eligible full-time veterinarians.


Quick Snapshot

  • Full-time or part-time opportunity

  • Practice across sister hospitals in Atlanta and Lincoln

  • Collaborative 3-DVM team

  • Experienced veterinarian with an interest in mentorship preferred

  • Mix of wellness, sick visits, surgery, and dentistry

  • Flexible scheduling with some Saturdays

  • Strong technician and support staff

  • Established client relationships

  • Digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house diagnostics

  • $60K signing bonus package for eligible full-time veterinarians


One Team. Two Hospitals.

Practicing across our Atlanta and Lincoln locations gives you the opportunity to enjoy more variety while remaining part of one veterinary team.


Both hospitals serve established client communities, giving you the chance to build long-term relationships with clients and patients while experiencing a broader mix of cases and day-to-day practice.


Youโ€™ll work alongside experienced veterinary professionals and skilled support staff who help keep the clinical day moving efficiently.


We value:

  • Thoughtful appointment pacing

  • Collaborative case discussions

  • Clinical autonomy

  • Reliable technician support

  • Strong client communication

  • Predictable scheduling

  • Teamwork across both locations


Rather than practicing in isolation, youโ€™ll have colleagues to collaborate with, share cases with, and support when another perspective is helpful.


Bring Your Experience. Help Others Grow.

Weโ€™re especially interested in an experienced veterinarian who enjoys sharing their knowledge and helping other team members continue developing clinically.


That could mean discussing an interesting case, offering another perspective, helping a colleague build confidence with a procedure, or simply being an experienced resource when questions arise.


This isnโ€™t a formal leadership position. Itโ€™s an opportunity to bring the experience youโ€™ve already built to a collaborative team where your knowledge and perspective will be valued.


Clinical Capabilities

Across the Timbercrest hospitals, youโ€™ll have access to resources that support efficient, comprehensive patient care, including:



  • Digital radiology

  • Ultrasound

  • In-house blood analyzers

  • Electronic medical records

  • Experienced clinical support staff


Youโ€™ll have the autonomy to practice medicine confidently while still having an experienced team available for collaboration.


Who Weโ€™re Looking For

This opportunity could be a great fit for an experienced veterinarian who:



  • Enjoys the variety of practicing across two community hospitals

  • Values clinical autonomy and collaboration

  • Likes sharing knowledge and supporting colleagues

  • Enjoys building long-term client relationships

  • Is comfortable with general practice medicine

  • Appreciates experienced technician support

  • Wants the flexibility of a full-time or part-time schedule


Pay Range

For full-time veterinarians, the base salary range for this position is $100,000โ€“$130,000, based on experience, plus production opportunities with no negative accrual.


Full-time veterinarians are also eligible for a $60,000 signing bonus package.


Part-time compensation will be based on schedule, experience, and agreed-upon hours.


Life in Lincoln & Atlanta

Located in central Illinois, Lincoln and Atlanta offer small-town living with convenient access to larger communities.


Youโ€™ll enjoy:



  • Affordable cost of living

  • Short commutes

  • Local parks, restaurants, and community events

  • Convenient access to Springfield and Bloomington

  • A relaxed pace of life with larger-city amenities within reach


CareVet Offers You:

  • Full-time base salary of $100,000โ€“$130,000, based on experience

  • Production compensation with no negative accrual

  • $60K signing bonus package for eligible full-time veterinarians
