Why Choose Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin?Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin (PESCM), located in San Rafael, is the only 24/7 veterinary hospital in Marin County, with specialties in Internal Medicine, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Surgery, Neurology, Cardiology, Urgent Care, Emergency, Radiology, and Critical Care.
Our mission is to serve pets and people by continually pushing to improve our medicine, our service, our communication, and ourselves.
We are not your typical veterinary hospital. PESCM is run by managers who have been with the hospital for a decade or more, all promoted from within. We are former nurses and client service staff who understand what employees need because we've been there ourselves: predictable schedules, regular time off, competitive pay, generous benefits, and a nurturing yet professional environment that fosters growth and success. We know the winning recipe is creating a space where you can do meaningful work and be part of the special kind of team unique to veterinary medicine, where the best way to combat compassion fatigue is by taking care of one another.
