Service animals should be permitted in the waiting areas of emergency rooms.

However, it is at the discretion of treating physicians whether a service animal should be permitted in a treatment area. This determination must be made on a case-by-case basis based solely on whether the presence of that particular animal, in that particular place, at that particular time poses a direct threat to a person. It cannot be a perceived threat ("sometimes dogs bite") or based on past experience ("another service dog acted up") but must be a cognizable real threat ("I have a patient with serious open wounds and the presence of any loose dog hair or dander may cause dangerous infection of the wounds").

A service animal may also be excluded if its presence fundamentally alters the ability of the hospital to provide emergency services, for example if there isn't room to safely work around the dog without tripping or slowing treatment.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, service dogs and their owners are allowed to go anywhere that the public is allowed to go. That means that since the public can be allowed into a doctor's office, a service dog, as long as the owner is with it, can be allowed there as well.

Can you take your service dog to work with you?

The American's with Disabilities Act does not apply to service dogs in training. Some states have laws which permit trainers to take service-dogs-in-training to the same places fully trained service dogs can go. However, most states require service-dogs-in-training to be accompanied by a trainer from a recognized program for training service dogs and that they carry credentials which they show on request.
