Dr. Hafeez is our Senior Veterinarian with a special interest in Small Animal surgeries i.e., Orthopedic Surgery (Cruciate ligament surgeries using MMP, TPLO, and TTA Tight Rope techniques as well as Wedge resection, lateral imbrication technique for Patellar luxation.) Similarly, he also utilizes his surgical expertise while dealing with complex Fracture Repairs and Soft Tissue Surgeries.

He also practices Emergency Medicine, and Hospitalization care, as well as being our only Exotic Animal Veterinarian on staff. Dr. Hafeez graduated from Veterinary School in 1999 and has been an emergency vet before he became part of RLAH in 2005. Upon joining RLAH, Dr. Hafeez updated the hospital’s diagnostic abilities, and medications prescribed, therefore bringing the hospital into a more modern era. As a child, Dr. Hafeez grew up around animals. He even took in strays and cared for wild animals! He grew up with a pack of spoiled German Shepherds, and even a Troublemaker Himalayan Monkey named Rocky! He has always shown an interest in every animal; Furry, Feathery, or Scaley. Even at an early age, he was breeding finches. Dr. Hafeez has such a passion for the work he does, and it shows when he knows each detail about every one of his clients and treats them all as if they were his own.
