Dr. Jake London (he/him), DVM

Dr. Jake London grew up surrounded by animals from day one. Born and raised in Fairfax Station, his grandfather was one of the first Veterinarians in Northern Virginia. This early exposure provided him with the opportunity to become immersed in the veterinary field very early in life.

He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at Virginia Tech in 2009 and then went on to earn his Veterinary degree (DVM) at St. George’s University in Grenada. After completing his first three years of didactic training, he then completed his final clinical year of Veterinary school at the University of Georgia in 2013. He later completed a small animal internship in Springfield, Virginia at the Regional Veterinary Referral Center followed by a year of working as a relief veterinarian, seeing patients all over the DMV. He officially took on a full time position as an associate Veterinarian in Arlington Virginia, where he worked until joining the Small Door Team.


Outside of work, Dr. London spends most of his time with his 2 year old daughter, Lily, and his wife Kelly. They have multiple furry family members including a 4 year old Pit mix named Arya and two cats Dani and Charlie. As a family, they try to be outside as much as possible and enjoy traveling whenever they can.

Special Interests: Soft tissue surgery, dentistry, cardiology, dermatology, and preventive medicine.
