Akram Cheema
Staff Veterinarian DVM
Dr. Cheema grew up in Peoria, IL, where his love for animal science helped guide him to his path of pursuing veterinary medicine. Dr. Cheema graduated from the University of Illinois in 2020 with a degree in Animal Sciences, and in 2024, graduated from Midwestern University with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree. He is Fear Free certified, and has special interests in preventive medicine, and neurology. When he is not at VCA Bolingbrook giving loving care to the patients, you can find him enjoying some of his favorite sports, both basketball and football. He also enjoys working out and spending time with family. While Dr. Cheema does not currently have any pets, he is hoping to adopt a cat in the near future!
