Melanie D’Angelo, BVetMed Dept. of Emergency Care

Originally from Ohio, Dr. Melanie D’Angelo headed across the Atlantic to study veterinary medicine at the Royal Veterinary College in London, England. After graduation, she returned to the United States and completed a rotating internship before making emergency medicine her focus. She spent the next five years working in her home state, helping pets and their families when they needed care most.

Along the way, she also completed a master’s degree in Conservation Medicine, pursuing a personal passion and broadening her understanding of the connections between animal health and the world we share.

Ready for a new chapter, Dr. D’Angelo recently moved to California to continue her work in emergency medicine – and to enjoy being closer to her new nephew. At ACCESS Pasadena’s Emergency Department, Dr. D’Angelo brings her experience and enthusiasm for helping pets and their families through unexpected and often stressful moments.

Outside of work, Dr. D’Angelo enjoys sport climbing and exploring new places. She’s always happy to head out on an adventure, though she’ll usually choose the route with a little more shade and a little less heat.
