Our Doctors

DR. CHARLES H. WOOD, JR. opened Old Dominion Animal Hospital in 1982. He graduated from The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and was excited to return to Virginia and make his home in Charlottesville. Dr. Wood is a Past-President and current member of The Blue Ridge Mountains Rotary Club and is proud of his club's contributions to our community. At work, Dr. Wood focuses much of his effort on helping local animal rescue groups and foster organizations, he particularly enjoys surgery, and loves having the opportunity to know his clients and their families personally. Away from work, Dr. Wood's favorite past-time is sailing, but he also enjoys stone carving, painting, vegetable gardening, landscaping, and being a grandpa. Dr. Wood's wife is a partner at The Nook Restaurant on the Downtown Mall, so they share a keen interest in food and supporting locally owned restaurants. The Woods have two children, a daughter who is a veterinary assistant at Old Dominion and a son who is currently attending veterinary school at Virginia Tech and hopes to join the practice. The Wood family lives on a mountain in Nelson County with their Australian Shepherd Dog Merlin, their four cats: Lance, Guinevere, Precious, and Simba; and their two horses Apache and Gypsy.

DR. ALLISON KRAMER joined Old Dominion Animal Hospital in 2007 after finishing veterinary school at Virginia Tech. She completed her undergraduate degree in Biology at James Madison, where she met her husband Jeff. Dr. Kramer lives in Crozet with her husband, 2 dogs and 2 cats, and their newest addition - a baby girl! Outside of work, Dr. Kramer enjoys spending time outdoors, knitting, crafting, and spending time with family. She has special interests in small animal dentistry, surgery, and internal medicine.

DR. KERRI HUDSON joined Old Dominion Animal Hospital in 2008. She is a 2005 graduate of Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine, and moved to Charlottesville with her husband so that he might pursue studies in East Asian Religions at the University of Virginia.

She spends her free time hiking, reading, traveling, and playing with her two mixed breed dogs, Sparrow and Cypress.
