This summer Capitol Illini Veterinary Services will have two new Doctors joining us! Our team would
like to welcome Dr. Tom Antonini and Dr. Blake Marcum to our staff!
Dr. Antonini is a Springfield native. He graduated from the Auburn
University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. Upon graduation, he practiced
at an AAHA accredited mixed-animal practice in Canton, Illinois. He is
interested in internal medicine and soft-tissue surgery and is looking forward
to joining the Capitol Illini team. Dr. Antonini has two dogs, Doo and Jed and
one cat, Bart. During his free time, he enjoys outdoor activities, reading and
attending baseball games.
Dr. Marcum is originally from Southern Illinois and attended Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville where he earned a degree in Biological Sciences. He then went on to spend 4 years in Knoxville, Tennessee where he obtained his DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) from the University of Texas. After graduating, he continued his education by doing a 1 year rotating internship at the University of Illinois. Since that time, he has been practicing emergency and critical care medicine at a specialty hospital in the Chicago Suburbs. His interests include internal medicine, oncology and minimally invasive diagnostics in the like ultrasound and laparascopy. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time outdoors running, cycling playing frisbee golf.
