At LACH, our staff of experienced veterinary professionals are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care possible. From annual exams and routine services to complex issues, our experience, compassion, and trusted clientele relationships ensure optimal health throughout your pet’s life.

Vaccinations

A key component of our treatment is preventative care. The purpose of vaccinating is to preemptively protect your furry family from harmful diseases. Proper vaccination is integral for protecting them from any illness they are susceptible to.

Surgical

Equipped with cutting edge technology, LACH has maintained the highest level of surgical standards providing some of the most advanced and minimally invasive procedures. Dr. El Akbawy implements his innovative techniques for surgeries and shares his knowledge across the country.

Dentistry

Dr. El-Akbawy designed a state-of-the-art dental suite to meet the highest standards for dental care set by the American College of Veterinary Dentistry.More than 85% of felines and canines over four years of age experience some form of dental disease leading to pain and tooth loss. It can also lead to bacterial infection that can spread throughout the bloodstream and damage the heart, liver, and kidneys. That’s why we recommend annual dental exams and cleanings to protect your furry family.

Diagnostics

We provide diagnostic imaging that includes ultrasounds, radiographs ( x-rays), CT & MRI scans, all of which are utilized to retrieve conclusive diagnosis on your feline or canine.

Cat Grooming & Boarding

Whether you have a weekend trip planned or a month long work trip that puts you in a position to leave your furry baby, LACH provides outstanding care at our boarding facility for your cat.

Alana Falone

The experience with my cats there were fine but they told me BOTH of my two cats were female to come find out 6 months later they were both male... to find out they were male was very disappointing since I’ve named them both female names. Don’t think I’d be coming back here

Trish C

Thank you for taking the time to help in caring for my precious cat she is coming up on 16 and Lincoln Ave Cat Hospital is helping me to keep her healthy. Thank you.

My cat jimmy was very sick and also is terrible with people. So I took him to the Lincoln Ave cat hospital and it was an amazing experience. The staff was very friendly and I couldn’t believe it when jimmy was being very playful with them. Their prices were very reasonable and their team was very accommodating. Will definitely be taking my cat there from now on.
