Our Team
Since 2006, Dr. Abdellah has been practicing as a veterinarian. His journey began in 2009 when he embarked on a career in small animal medicine and surgery within general practice. After three years, his professional trajectory shifted as he discovered his passion for emergency and critical care. In 2013, Dr. Abdellah transitioned to become an associate ER veterinarian at a 24-hour veterinary hospital in Pittsburgh, PA.
In 2015, Dr. Abdellah relocated with his family to Houston, TX, where he continued his role as an associate ER veterinarian in another 24-hour veterinary emergency hospital. Here, he honed his surgical and medical skills, eventually earning a promotion to the position of medical director in 2021.
During his tenure as a medical director, Dr. Abdellah developed a strong desire to establish his own practice. His motivation stemmed from the need to provide more personalized care to pet parents, away from the constraints of corporate oversight. Understanding the importance of accessibility, especially during after-hours emergencies, he envisioned VetExpress Animal Urgent Care as a solution to bridge the gap between primary veterinarians and emergency hospitals, offering support to pet parents and their fur babies when they need it most. Dr. Abdellah aims to make a meaningful impact in the veterinary community by offering pet parents additional care options during critical moments.
Dr. Abdellah graduated from the School of Veterinary Medicine Science at Cairo University, Egypt, in 2005. Following his graduation, he successfully completed the ECFVG program, earning his license to practice in the USA in 2009. Before finding his true passion for small animal medicine and surgery, Dr. Abdellah pursued an Equine internship program in 2008.
Central to Dr. Abdellah’s approach is his commitment to prioritizing his patients’ needs and providing pet parents with comprehensive and transparent care options.
In addition to enjoying time with his family, Dr. Abdellah is an avid Houston Astros fan, striving to catch as many games as his practice schedule permits.
