Employment Type: Permanent

Join Our Team as a Veterinary Criticalist at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists – NASA Parkway

Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS) is seeking a board-certified or residency-trained Criticalistto join our newly opened, state-of-the-art hospital in Webster, TX. This is a unique opportunity to help shape and grow Critical Care services within a rapidly expanding specialty center that is already up and running and building strong momentum.

At GCVS, we’re committed to clinical excellence, innovation, and a collaborative approach to patient care. We foster a supportive environment where specialists can thrive—both clinically and professionally—and we’re excited to continue building a team that reflects those values.

About the Opportunity

Our NASA Parkway hospital is fully operational and equipped with advanced monitoring equipment for anesthesia support, a developing blood bank, and high flow oxygen. Advanced sonographic equipment, CT, digital radiography, and fluoroscopy is also readily available. The hospital features a busy Emergency service and a growing team of specialists in Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Sports Rehabilitation, with continued expansion planned across additional disciplines.

Remote consultation and support is also available in anesthesia and radiology at our sister hospital in Houston.

As a Criticalist, you’ll play a key role in developing and elevating Critical Care services, working closely with ER clinicians and specialists to manage complex, high-acuity cases. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building, collaborating, and having a meaningful impact on hospital growth and patient care.

Schedule & Flexibility

• Daytime/afternoon focused role with no required overnights
• Flexible scheduling designed to support work-life balance

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a newly opened hospital with strong referral demand and growing caseload
• Help build and shape Critical Care services from the ground up
• Collaborate with an engaged ER team and expanding specialty group
• Backed by the resources and reputation of GCVS, including access to a network of 14+ specialties

Life in the Houston Area
