Fred Rader, DVM

Dr. Rader is affectionately known by clients and staff as "Doc". Everyone looks to Doc for his guidance and expertise based on his many years of experience. Doc graduated from Ohio State Veterinary School in 1962. He practiced in Lafayette, Indiana from 1962 until 1967 working with some small animals but concentrating on farm animals.

Doc moved to Long Grove in October of 1967 and founded Skycrest Animal Clinic. For the first five years, while building the practice, he also worked as a relief Veterinarian in the Chicago area. Doc raised shelties and golden retrievers while his four children were growing up. He has since become well known far and wide for his expertise with Dobermans. After practicing for 43 years, Dr. Rader is enjoying his reduced schedule, allowing for more time to spend with his wife, Nancy and their dog, "Indy".

Kristin Wojcik, DVM

Dr. Wojcik is a 1995 graduate of Ross University and the University of Minnesota. She has been with Skycrest since 1999 and became the owner of the clinic in 2001.

Dr. Wojcik fulfilled her childhood dream when she became a veterinarian. Her passion for her profession is evident by the way she nurtures her sweet patients as well as their families. You might run into Dr. Wojcik as she hikes the trails near Long Grove with her mother and friends.

Dr. Wojcik and her husband, Don, share their home with their son, Owen, daughter Kate, and their dogs "Travis" and "Chelby" .

Stephanie Locke, DVM

Following in her father's footsteps, who is also a veterinarian, Dr. Locke graduated with honors from the University of Illinois. Dr. Locke currently lives in Arlington Heights with her husband, Mike, their German Shepherd, "Silus", certified Therapy Golden Retrievers, "Valen" and "Macallan", and Labrador, "Beam".

Her favorite pastimes include walking all the dogs and spending quality time with friends and family. Although Dr. Locke enjoys being a veterinarian for many reasons, she particularly enjoys being part of the human-animal bond, a bond to her that is unique and irreplaceable.

Susan I. Wilner, DVM

Dr. Wilner is a 1990 graduate of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine and has been in practice since that time in the Chicago area. Dr. Wilner is actively involved in the Girl Scouts and Buffalo Grove's Safety Town where she teaches children how to care for their pets with the help of her beautiful blond Golden Retriever, "Ti", and her 3-legged black & white kitty, "Koka".

She is also an avid cyclist and is often seen riding on the quiet roads of Long Grove or you may see her walking for miles and miles everyday with "Ti" trotting along beside her. In addition, she is a Girl Scout Leader and finds it very gratifying to mentor students who are interested in veterinary medicine.

Dr. Wilner keeps busy outside the office running her children, Mike and Monica, to sports practice, dance and gymnastics, and sharing their lives with her husband, Corey.
