Dr. Matthew Wheaton is a second generation veterinarian who was born and raised in Laguna Beach, California. His father, Dr. Jack Wheaton, owned Corona Del Mar Animal Hospital for 25 years and after a brief retirement, opened Aliso Animal Clinic in South Laguna Beach. Growing up as the son of a veterinarian had a profound influence on Dr. Wheaton and allowed him to choose his life-path as a boy.
Dr. Wheaton attended UC Davis for both his undergraduate studies and for veterinary school. After graduation, Dr. Wheaton completed a rigorous internship program at California Animal Hospital in West Los Angeles. The internship focused on surgery and emergency medicine and allowed Dr. Wheaton to accept his first job as an emergency veterinarian at Animal Urgent Care in Mission Viejo, California. He purchased Alicia Pet Clinic after 3 years at Animal Urgent Care and has been the Hospital Director ever since.
