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.

Because we believe the best outcomes come from truly collaborative medicine, you would be working closely with other specialists in Surgery, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Oncology and Neurology, in addition to our experienced team of ER doctors. Our friendly, collaborative team prioritizes patient care above all else. Our team culture is built on open communication, cross-disciplinary learning, and mutual respect. You’ll have the freedom to grow your way, while never feeling alone.

We have two wonderful and talented Internal Medicine Specialists currently on staff, so we are looking for a doctor who wants to join a collaborative and friendly team. If you are finishing up your residency there is plenty of support for you to learn and grow, and if you are already an experienced specialist, we are happy to support your life-long learning journey if you have special areas of focus. We have a consistent and busy caseload with a great clientele, so this is a perfect time to join!

We’ll Give You the Tools and People to Get the Job Done

Our 25,000 sq. ft. hospital is equipped with advanced technology, including CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, endoscopy, hemoperfusion, a cloud-based EMR, multiple cardiac and abdominal ultrasounds, and a comprehensive in-house lab. We have a thoughtfully designed, custom-built Internal Medicine department with its own reception area, exam rooms, dedicated treatment area, ultrasound and endoscopy room. In addition, you have a large fully set up interventional radiology suite so you will be very well set up from the start with a space that is functional, beautifully designed and well equipped.

Above all of that though 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.

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 salary of $250,000-300,000 with productive bonuses in addition. We also have a robust benefits package including excellent healthcare, dental and vision benefits, employee pet discounts and 401(k) with matching to help you thrive both professionally and personally.

Our Neighborhood

Located in Pasadena, California, nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, our hospital offers easy access to Los Angeles’ vibrant lifestyle and beaches. Pasadena blends Southern California charm with professional opportunity and an exceptional quality of life. Enjoy walkable neighborhoods, top-rated schools, a thriving arts scene, nearby nature trails, and even winter skiing. It’s an ideal place for you to grow your career without sacrificing lifestyle. Whether you love outdoor adventures, world-class dining, or a beautiful, diverse community to call home, Pasadena welcomes you with open arms—and sunny skies year-round.
