Dr. Hesham El-Akbawy received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1988 from Cairo University. He performed postgraduate studies in clinical pathology at the University of Berlin, where he received a scholarship for clinical studies. He also trained at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University.
At the Animal Hospital of Fairfield we understand how important your pet is to you and your family. Studies have shown that pet owners typically live longer, happier lives. Unfortunately, the life span of most pets are typically shorter than humans and they often require more medical care and attention.
Your pet is a very important part of your family. Studies show that pet owners live longer, happier lives. Unfortunately, most pets have shorter life spans than humans and require more medical care and attention. Keeping in mind that most pets age more quickly than you do, regular yearly examinations are essential, and as your pet gets older, twice yearly examinations help ensure your pet's continued health.
Untreated gum disease can cause bad breath, tooth decay, and tooth loss, but once the bacteria gains access to internal organs through diseased gums, more serious health problems like heart, liver and kidney disease may follow. It isn't only dogs and cats that need dental care. Ferrets require dental cleanings to prevent the build-up of tartar and plaque.
The terms periodontal disease or dental disease in pets used to describe gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis (inflammation of the bone and other support structures around the tooth). According to a study by the American Veterinary Dental Association, more than 8 out of 10 of adult (older than 3 years) dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease.

My dog was misdiagnosed at this facility, after constantly taking him in the doctor kept giving my dog medicine that kept making things worse and wasnt helping. My dog had a liver shunt but this doctor kept saying it was anxiety and kept prescribing my dog sedative pills to help him sleep and calm down. We took him in about 3 more times because my dog wasn’t doing any better and this doctor kept saying the same thing everytime..
We finally took our dog somewhere else and explained to the other doctor what was happening, This new doctor diagnosed my dog within 10 minutes, sadly my dog didn't

Like most people, you do whatever you can to help your pets because they are more than pets - they are members of the family. My furbaby is a senior dog with a history of extensive dental problems, a heart condition and early kidney disease. In other words, she's not an easy patient. I rushed her to a vet ER clinic where they were ready to extract all of her remaining teeth because of an abscess! I consulted my primary vet who is amazing but she was unable to perform the required dental surgery. So I did research and found Dr. Akbawy who took the time to show me how clean, organized, modern and

The doctor is absolutely amazing. He performed surgery on my guinea pig when she broke her leg. No doctor in NJ would do this except for him! I now have two dogs who he loves. I called him on a Sunday with a problem and he answered immediately. I highly recommend this practice. We all love him and five years later my guinea pig is alive and doing great.

My family and I have been going to this animal hospital for many years and over this time span, Dr. Akbawy and his staff go above and beyond to give the proper and safe care for our dogs. Any services, yearly vaccines, to the help of coping and handling of one of our dogs that passed a few years ago, they have been nothing but professional and caring. They treat our pets like they are part of their family, and we wouldn't have it any other way

Performed a surgery without consent on cat and insisted upon payment. Said morally obligated to perform surgery, although it was to correct mistakes made on botched initial attempt. Ethically obligated but not financially I suppose. Initial mistakes included leaving stitches in surgical areal, which led to scarring which led to complications.
Very keen to tell you his prices are 1/4 of anyone else.
Will guilt trip you into “pets are members of your family and you have a responsibility to pay for expensive surgeries”
Stresses the costs associated with being a vet so he can say “I’m practically

Dr. Akbawy and his team are caring professionals who I trust with my dogs. I’ve been a client for many years and am thoroughly pleased with all the services my dogs have received. Dr. Akbawy spends time with me going over procedures to make me feel comfortable. He has performed various successful surgeries on all of my dogs. Without any reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend the Animal Hospital of Fairfield to all who truly love their dogs as I do.

I have known Dr. Akbawy since 2002. He has treated my pets for a variety of ailments from routine physicals and dentistry to acute renal failure, cancer, heart failure, fractures, diabetes, and overactive thyroid just to name a few. He and his staff our professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I and my pets have always been treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. In the days of specialization, it is comforting to find a practice that is capable of treating a pet as a whole and unique.

Dr. Elakbawy did Unilateral Arytenoid Laterilization (Tie-back surgery) on my 9 year old Labrador Retriever who suffers from Laryngeal Paralysis (LarPar) with great success. This is a clean facility with professional, caring, quality staff. I came a far distance based on excellent reviews and reasonable cost and my dog received top quality, life saving care. All of the staff showed great care for my dog and also for myself because I was very upset and scared. I was kept updated all throughout the process by calls and texts and even pictures of Buddy in recovery. I highly recommend this hospital
