As founder of Oakton-Vienna Veterinary Hospital, I grew up in Washington, D.C. My love of animals began when at the age of eight, I found a baby raccoon. I love being at OVVH, because I can care for animals in an enjoyable, warm atmosphere, and my clients are my extended family.
In addition to my veterinary education, I have been trained as a cognitive therapist, a skill that assists me in my interest in the human-animal bond and the relationship of companion animals to our emotional and physical health.The Oprah Winfrey Show featured my work with the human-animal bond in 2001.

I have been with OVVH for over 20 years. I started as a veterinary assistant and have held several positions over the years. Currently I am in charge of the bookkeeping. When I am not at OVVH, I am very involved in animal rescue and founded Collie Rescue, Inc., a non-profit animal rescue serving Virginia and Maryland.
Jones has been our vet for over nine years. We were very fortunate to find her having just moved to the Springfield area from Germany. When Dr. Jones moved from our local clinic to the Oakton-Vienna Veterinary Hospital, we came along as well! Dr. Jones has provided tremendous care, support, nurturing, and compassion for our Siberian Husky girls - Demi and Dutchess.

I am very selective and involved in the care of my dogs. I have been very impressed and happy with OVVH. I feel like I have finally found THE ONE of veterinary care!
Everyone there has really exceeded my expectations. Literally everyone from all the ladies who have answered the phones to the vet techs to the doctor we've seen have consistently been caring, kind, professional, and extremely competent. They are very responsive and actually want to help you. They really care and always make an effort to accomodate us. I truly feel valued as a client there and can't rave enough

I can't say enough good things about the staff and Veterinarians at Oakton-Vienna Veterinary Hospital. The front desk service is consistently warm and kind. They are patient and on point which is so appreciated.
We have had two unfortunate medical emergencies with our pets and Oakton-Vienna was quick to get us in to see the doctor. They treated our beloved pets with care and compassion. They are also very fair with pricing compared to other Veterinary Hospitals in the DC area.

I can only speak on one visit, but it was probably the best experience I've had with a vet. My puppy was not looking good, so Dr Blevins took the time to sit and chat with me, explore my options, and facilitate the appropriate care. I plan on continuing to bring my fur baby there. Thank you for your time and attentiveness Dr Blevins. Also, major shoutout to the employees for your professionalism, caring manner and help as well.

The staff, from the front desk, vet techs and doctors, are kind and helpful. Dr. Christmus spent time answering any questions and providing thoughtful recommendations for the past 12 years. When treatments didn’t work he took time to research other options. My dog recently had to be euthanized and Dr. Christmus was gentle and compassionate, making a very difficult time peaceful.

I really love this office. My frenchie sees Dr. Jones and she is great with handling him and answering my millions of questions. I am a first time puppy owner and was overwhelmed with all the things puppy need, but Dr. Jones provided a schedule and information so that I was well informed of next steps. I also like that I can go inside with my pet while following COVID precautions. The front desk team is great and welcoming as well. Overall a great office and personable team.

I've trusted Oakton-Vienna Veterinary Hospital with my pets for many years, and always highly recommend them to my friends and clients. I know that everyone there truly cares about my dogs and cats, which is apparent from the moment we walk through the door. Kelsey in particular makes us feel so welcome, and always goes the extra mile to help in between appointments, such as following up with prescriptions and tracking down rabies certificates that are necessary to register for county dog tags. It's nice to have a veterinary clinic where my pets and I feel so valued, and I can always

My experience was just great! I wish I had never left Dr. Jones and Christmus @8 years ago. I only left due to the costs of services. I could no longer afford those particular costs for two dogs. I've always wanted to come back and I'm glad I did. Dr. Jones is taking the best care possible for my pet and I really appreciate it. He is very elderly and I'll, and she is working with me closely to take the best care of him and ease my tensions. I'm glad to have returned and wish I'd never left. It's really nice to have consistent doctors, and great doctors that know what

We recently visited the vet office with our adopted rescue cat that came from horrible conditions. The attention and care that she received has helped us to be more positive on her future. The doctor spent quite a bit of time with us to ensure all of our questions were answered. During this challenging time, we appreciate the time the doctor spent with us and the kindness of the staff. Stay Safe!

Update for January 2020- Still have only good things to say about this practice, and Drs Jones and Christmas. We have gone to this practice ever since we moved to the area in 2009. We see primarily Dr. Jones for our high-strung Maltese and prior jack russell terrier. She is a wonderful, amazing "dr dolittle" that has a magic touch. She is thoughtful and has personally followed up with phone calls after a sick visit! The office staff are personable and friendly. I highly recommend this practice!

We loved everything about our first visit to OVVH! Our 2 year old Golden Retriever has been dealing with some weird gastrointestinal issues that have proven to be challenging to diagnose. Dr. Christmus spent over an hour with us and listened to everything that's been going on with our pup. We never once felt rushed. He brainstormed with us all of the different things that could be going on with our dog and explained everything in laymens terms. He helped us determine what our best course of action should be. We feel better having a solid plan and a better idea of what could be going on with

I worked as a vet tech for several animal hospitals, but was never fortunate enough to work with a vet like Dr Christmas. My family has been going to his practice for years and he has always been caring and… compassionate while treating our pets with his VAST wealth of knowledge and a great staff. I'd never consider going anywhere else. 5 stars

I took my 9 year old dog to see Dr. Christmus, after moving to the area about 18 months ago from Maryland. I had continued taking him to our vet in MD after moving here. Recently my dog started having issues that our old vet could not figure out after multiple visits and being prescribed different types of medication. I finally made the switch to oakton-Vienna vet for a second opinion, and could not be happier with the decision...kicking myself for not switching earlier.
Very friendly staff. My dog would always need a muzzle and could not wait to leave the office at his old vet....not only he

OVVH is the best vet clinic around! From the moment you walk in, the receptionists greet you and your pets warmly and by name. The vet technicians do a thorough history and discuss everything down to the pet's diet, which is such an important part of their health. The veterinarians are extremely thorough and are the best diagnosticians I've seen anywhere. I highly recommend OVVH!

The Vets and Staff at OVVH are incredible. We've worked with Dr. Christmus and Dr. Megremis for years now and are always happy with the care and attention they provide. They always answer every question and bend over backwards to help us with our pups. We have been going to OVVH for 15+ years now. Vet techs and front office are attentive and exceed every expectation. Flexible office hours are also appreciated.

I've been taking my pup to OVVH for her 13 years of life even though there are others much closer to home. Dr. Christmus has been her primary vet and he has always thoroughly explained everything and every option honestly. My pup likes him too. On a few occasions, I've had to take her in on emergency and she has seen Dr. Jones or Dr. Megremis,… who have also been very good with us. OVVH is always very good with my pup and always explains everything up front: procedures, what's being done that visit and why, cost estimate, etc.. The staff and "nurses" are always so nice as well.

We took our 8 week old Shar Pei puppy Levi here for his first vet visit with us and saw Dr. Jackie Jones. She was very knowledgeable on the breed, and her and the staff there were very friendly. They gave us a clear breakdown of the costs before proceeding and explained everything. We recommend this place to everyone and look forward to bringing Levi here for the years to come!

I had to take my roommates puppy to the vet because she was really sick. When I called I told them I felt she really needed to see a vet today and they got her in that day. They took the best care of her, and explained everything to me. They took the time to call my roommate and explain what was going on. The vet even called the breeder to see how the other puppies in her litter we're doing. They were so honest and caring. We will definitely be bringing both our dogs here. So happy to find such a trusting vet. Thanks for all your help during this stressful time!

Unfortunately, this wasn't the right place for us. I selected OVVH over other local vets due to their great reviews and favorable hours. However, it seems I made a mistake. After our initial consultation and a bill higher than I've ever seen from a routine office visit, I started to suspect things weren't right. Checking with other vets, my… suspicions were confirmed. We were upsold at every turn with medications, treatments, tests - some of which were done without telling us beforehand or explaining the purpose, price, etc. I'm embarrassed as it seems I was taken advantage of for being

TL;DR: We love Oakton Vienna Veterinary Hospital! The doctors and staff obviously love pets and are very nice and sincere.
Tucked in the back row of buildings on Maple Ave, Vienna's main street, Oakton Vienna Veterinary is a great place to send your cats.
With separate cat examination rooms upstairs, your cats won't freak out too much beyond a regular vet trip (which is already a lot). We haven't seen a lot of dogs there when we bring our little guys, so we have lucked out.
