Safari is a unique independently owned practice opportunity founded 40 years ago by Dr. Steven Garner, DVM, DABVP as a small animal / exotic animal practice that has now grown into one of the most respected animal hospitals for the diagnosis and treatment of dogs, cats, primates, birds, reptiles, and other exotics in the Houston area.
Safari’s main hospital, located in League City, Texas, boasts a 3-Tesla MRI, 16-slice CT scanner, C-Arm fluoroscopy, endoscopy, digital radiographs, and full in-house diagnostic lab operating in a 10,000 sq. ft. facility manned by 45 support staff. Safari also operates a second 8,500 sq. ft. State of the Art facility in Pearland, Texas.
Safari also has the only private fully functional allogenic mesenchymal stem cell laboratory in the country. Dr. Garner routinely performs orthopedic and neurosurgery and is on the ABVP Orthopedic Fellowship Organizing Committee. Our orthopedic equipment and techniques are expansive including power assisted surgery tools, laser, and ultrasonic scalpels for non-damaging neurosurgery. Safari is a State of the Heart facility that helped formulate the Fear Free Program.
Safari is looking for two associate classes, one with an interest in orthopedics, neurosurgery and regenerative medicine who can work in a multi-tasking, team-based environment. The other has a strong interest in applying the highest levels of diagnostic medicine and surgery to exotic animal medicine. Check us out at www.safarivet.com, www.stemcellsafari.com , www.mridog.com.
We offer signing bonuses, relocation and benefits packages including PTO that match the corporate providers. Continuing education is constant at Safari with weekly 4-hour in-service full staff training meetings and generous funds budgeted for major conferences as well as focused education on ultrasound, echocardiology, orthopedic and neurosurgery and exotic animal medicine. We do not participate in Pro-Sal compensation plans as we do not believe it is ethical to motivate veterinary behavior with money. We will not make you sign a non-compete clause like the corporate practices do. We will pay you between $150,000 and $250,000 dollars per year based on your achievements and experience as a veterinarian, not on production. Your schedule will typically be three 12-hour days “ON” then three and one half or four days “OFF” with one half day for training in between. Dr. Garner has 40 years of clinical experience and is an excellent teacher for those seeking mentorship but plans to retire within the next few years so now is the perfect time to join our practice.
