Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Charles Blevins: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. This work plays a big part in my everyday role working with clients' caring for their pets, but also caring for clients' needs in times of distress. I love the connections I have created and feel very lucky to be at OVVH. In my spare time, I enjoy a variety of outside activities, including kayaking, biking and hiking. I also work out at the gym and take weekly yoga classes.
