Description

Violet Crown Veterinary Specialists is the only privately-owned referral and emergency practice in the Austin area.  Situated in Bee Cave, TX, VCVS is located in an affluent lakeside suburb in the Texas Hill Country, just 25 minutes west of downtown Austin.  We are seeking an internist to join our growing team of surgeons (one is the only fellowship-trained surgical oncologist in Central Texas), medical oncologist, criticalist, and 24/7 ER department.  We work closely with a radiologist owned mobile ultrasound service (4–5 days/week).  Violet Crown is currently expanding our footprint by nearly 50%, with renovation completion slated for March 2026, allowing for expansion of service offerings.

We are looking for a board-certified or residency trained internist.  VCVS proudly embraces a team member-centric approach to operations and staffing.  We will be practicing alongside you every day.  Your successes are our successes and your pain points are our pain points.  We have families and personal lives and desire the same for our entire team.  We want you to join us because you believe in our shared vision, and stay with us because you enjoy your purpose and team, forging relationships that last a lifetime.
