Dr. Frank Wuest is a graduate of University of Illinois in 1998 with a doctorate in veterinary medicine. His education also includes a bachelor in business management from Southern Illinois University.

My name is Dr. Alan Anton, and I am semi-retired. I practice small animal medicine on a relief basis now. After graduation from Michigan State University, I started out working at the Animal Hospital of Wilkes, a mixed animal practice (farm animals and pets). After two years I purchased Donahue Animal Hospital in Morganton. After renaming it I worked there for 40 years. Working at Blue Skies now helps to keep my mental veterinary intelligence challenged.

I have been married to my wife, Patricia, for 13 years. Combined we have three children and four grandchildren. I have also had a host of dogs, cats, fish, horses, birds, and even a monkey. I look forward to helping you with your pet's needs.
