University Veterinary Hospital

Shreveport, Louisiana

Veterinary Ophthalmologist (DACVO)

An opportunity to build something entirely your own, backed by an established hospital with the infrastructure, staff, and community trust already in place.

University Veterinary Hospital is a premier full-service animal hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana with a warm, client-centered culture and a team deeply invested in the animals and families they serve. Following the departure of our ophthalmology specialist, we are seeking a DACVO to establish and grow the ophthalmology service under their own identity, supported by a hospital that has been a trusted name in the Shreveport community for years.

This is not a position where you inherit someone else's systems. It is an opportunity to build a service, a client base, and

a professional identity that is entirely yours, with the operational foundation of an established institution behind you.

UVH has existing ophthalmology equipment in place and is committed to ensuring the incoming specialist has what they need to practice at the level they trained for. We welcome a conversation about what that looks like. If you have equipment of your own, we are open to that discussion as well. Our priority is setting you up for clinical success from day one.

The hospital is a full-service small animal practice with a collaborative, experienced team and a strong commitment to high-quality medicine across all disciplines.

Shreveport is the third largest city in Louisiana and the hub of a broad regional referral territory spanning northwest Louisiana and adjacent east Texas. The incoming specialist steps into a market with meaningful unmet demand and the opportunity to establish themselves as the region's ophthalmology resource. For the right candidate, this is a rare chance to build something lasting in a community that needs it.

Shreveport offers an affordable, welcoming quality of life with reasonable cost of living, a growing culinary and arts scene, and the natural beauty of northwest Louisiana and nearby Caddo Lake.

• Salary: $175,000 to $200,000 depending on experience, plus production earnings
• Employment model: employed position or independent contractor arrangement considered
• Equipment discussion welcomed based on candidate needs and preferences
• Full hospital infrastructure and support staff in place
• Comprehensive Suveto benefits package including equity through the Veterinary Stock Ownership Plan, 401kwith match, medical/dental/vision, paid parental leave, and PTO
