DR. JEFFREY KLEMM, DVM

Born in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Dr. Klemm spent his early life in Nashville, Tennessee. The son of an Air Force Pilot and a nurse, he moved frequently and lived in a wide range of places including Florida, Texas and Arkansas. Despite the constant moving as a child, Klemm never felt alone because of the constant companionship of his pets. Combining his love for animals with his interest in medicine, Klemm decided on veterinary medicine as a career.

After graduating from The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 1984, Dr. Klemm came to Virginia to practice in the Churchland Animal Hospital. In 1985 he purchased his own practice in Suffolk. In 1992, he and his wife, Annette, moved to Atlanta to be closer to family. Feeling the tug back to Virginia, he returned to Chesapeake in 2003 and purchased the Island Wharf practice before opening Hickory Veterinary Hospital in June of 2006. 

Dr. Klemm is married to Annette, who keeps him straight at home and at the office, where she is the hospital administrator. They have two sons, Elliot and Alec. Elliot attends Virginia Tech and Alec is a junior at Hickory High School.

In his spare time, Dr. Klemm enjoys playing tennis and hanging out with family.
