About Access Specialty Animal Hospitals
ACCESS Specialty Animal Hospitals - Los Angeles is the flagship location of the ACCESS specialty veterinary network, situated at 9599 Jefferson Blvd in Culver City. The hospital operates 24/7 for emergency and critical care, with specialty services — including a dedicated Avian and Exotic Medicine department — available during daytime business hours. The exotic team is led by Dr. Karen Schachterle and Dr. Molly Gleeson (DVM, DACZM — Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine), both of whom trained in avian and exotic medicine at leading programs in Houston. The exotic department sees a remarkable breadth of species: birds (cockatoos, macaws, parakeets, chickens, ducks), reptiles (snakes, lizards, tortoises, turtles), amphibians (newts), and small mammals (rabbits, ferrets, rats, hamsters). Specialized surgical procedures, advanced imaging, and after-hours exotic specialist support are available. The broader hospital offers cardiology, internal medicine, neurology, nephrology, urology, interventional radiology/endoscopy, oncology, and orthopedic surgery — including the first dedicated IR suite, dialysis center, and joint replacement center on the West Coast. With 1,097+ Yelp reviews, ACCESS Los Angeles is one of the most reviewed specialty veterinary hospitals in Southern California. It is the premier destination for exotic and avian pet owners in Los Angeles who need specialist-level or emergency care, combining board-certified exotic specialists with the full resources of a multi-specialty referral hospital.
