Job description

A Little About Us and Our Privately Owned, Multi-Specialty Hospital

ACCESS (Advanced Critical Care, Emergency and Specialty Services) was founded in 2005 when Dr. Rich Mills, a board-certified criticalist, set out to bring specialty veterinary care to Los Angeles. As demand grew, so did ACCESS – expanding to the San Fernando Valley, South Bay, and eventually, Pasadena and Palm Beach County (FL) in 2021. While the first three hospitals are now part of Thrive Pet Healthcare, ACCESS – Pasadena and ACCESS – Palm Beach County remain proudly independent and privately owned by veterinarians. This means decisions are made in our hospitals, not in a boardroom, allowing us to stay flexible, focused, and deeply connected to the pets, pet owners, and primary care veterinarians we serve every day.

We’ll Give You Independence, Trust, and Collaboration
We keep red tape to a minimum and avoid layers of bureaucracy. We trust our doctors to make swift decisions that matter to them, their patients, and pet owners.

However, as an ER doctor with us you will never feel alone. Our ER doctors are fully supported by Criticalists who are always willing to jump in to help offer guidance and advice, and a team of specialists in Surgery, Internal Medicine and Neurology who are always close by and happy to collaborate with an informal hallway consult, or to take a transfer when needed. We hold wetlabs to give you an opportunity to learn and practice hands on skills and are also happy to do one on one training on any areas you would like to learn more about. You will fit right in if you are willing to learn, grow and support your fellow ER doctors and team!

We’ll Give You the Tools and People to Get the Job Done
Our 21,000 sq. ft. hospital is equipped with advanced technology, including CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, endoscopy, a cloud-based EMR, cardiac and abdominal ultrasounds, and a comprehensive in-house lab. But it’s our people who truly make the difference.

Our dedicated team of technicians, animal care assistants, doctor’s assistants, customer service representatives, and managers, share your commitment to exceptional patient and client care. With a customized technician training program and dedicated trainers, we value every team member and support their growth, fostering a supportive environment where continuous learning thrives.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for an enthusiastic ER doctor who enjoys the fun and challenge of swings and/or overnight shifts. We have flexible scheduling options and will work with you to find a schedule that works well for you.

You will have a busy and diverse caseload with plenty of support from other ER doctors and specialists to allow you to focus on providing the best patient care. Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential.

Great Medicine Starts with Great Benefits
We believe a strong compensation and benefits package is the foundation for great work and a balanced life. We offer a competitive base salary with additional production bonuses (with no negative accrual), and a robust benefits package including excellent health, vision and dental benefits, employee pet discounts and 401(k) to help you thrive both professionally and personally.

Our Neighborhood
Located in Palm Beach, Florida, our hospital offers a unique combination of professional opportunity and relaxed coastal living. With year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, and a welcoming community, Palm Beach provides an exceptional quality of life. The area features excellent schools, outdoor recreation, and convenient access to nearby West Palm Beach and Miami. It’s a great place to grow your career while enjoying a balanced, laid-back lifestyle.

It's home…

Curious? Let’s Talk – Confidentially, of Course.
If this sounds like the kind of role and place where you’d flourish – where your voice matters, your expertise is respected, and your work truly makes a difference – I’d love to connect. No formalities, no pressure. Just a real conversation to explore whether this could be the right fit for you, both professionally and personally.

For more information feel free to reach out directly to our ER Department Lead Dr Angelikie Zafiris, we are excited to get to know you!
