Dr. Leslie Ann Jones, DVM, MVB, MRCVS, CVA, CVMMP grew up in Water Mill, New York, and found her way back to Virginia after a wonderfully winding journey. She completed her undergraduate studies at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, earned a degree in marine biology from Long Island University–Southampton College, and then followed her passion for animal health across the Atlantic to the University College Dublin Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Ireland.

After two years of practicing in New York, Dr. Jones returned to Virginia and founded Woodlake Animal Hospital in 2011. For more than two decades, Central Virginia has been her professional home, and she is deeply grateful to care for such a kind, dedicated, and animal-loving community.

Dr. Jones has a special interest in integrative and holistic medicine, dermatology, behavioral medicine, and nutrition, and she enjoys creating thoughtful, individualized care plans for her patients. When she’s not at the hospital, you’ll often find her riding her horse, traveling  or spending time outdoors, surrounded by her own animals—dogs, cats, chickens, and all.
