Ericka Yeley, DVM
Owner and Veterinarian
Whitney Whistler, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Ericka Yeley is originally from Sullivan, IL where she graduated from Sullivan High School as Valedictorian. She attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating with a degree in Biology. She moved to Marshall with her husband in 2000, where he operates their family farm.
After teaching high school science for several years, she decided to return to the University of Illinois to complete a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. In 2008, Dr. Yeley graduated with high honors and returned to Marshall to begin her veterinary career. In 2011, with the help and support of her family and friends, she decided to open a practice of her own.
In her practice, her professional interests include advanced dentistry, fear-free techniques, and behavior issues. She frequently pursues continuing education opportunities to stay up to date on these topics and more.
Dr. Yeley lives in rural Marshall with her husband John, their two young children, Cyrus and Avalynn, as well as several dogs, cats, and horses. Her personal interests include reading, cooking, and technology.
Hello! My name is Dr. Whitney Whistler and I am so excited to be here at Farm & Family Veterinary Service. I graduated from Purdue University in 2009 and have practiced in Indiana as a small animal veterinarian for the past 10 years.
I am married to my wonderful husband, Ronald Whistler, and together we have six kiddos (2 girls and 4 boys). We also have 4 four legged kids (dogs) - Bella (chihuahua-dachshund mix), Mercy (Havanese), Lena (Havanese), and Luke (Walker Coonhound mix). We love to spend time with our families - cooking out, camping, traveling, and watching movies! We are huge Cubs and Colts fans and love to watch them play! We are a very active family - always following our kiddos to sporting events and after-school activities.
I can't wait to meet everyone over the next few months and look forward to becoming an important part of your pets healthcare team!
Luellen Wilson
Office Manager
Hi, I'm Luellen. I'm a Hoosier girl living here in Illinois. I love living on our small farm with my wife Tina. I got my first Siamese cat for my sixth birthday and have had cats ever since. I currently have two rescued dogs, five chickens, and one 17 year old Siamese cat. I started in the animal health field by volunteering then working at the Bartholomew County Humane Society in Columbus, IN. I enjoy gardening, spending time with my grandchildren, and in the summer I am usually in my pool (or at least by it.)
Sierrah McLaughlin
Veterinary Assistant
Hey everyone! My name is Sierrah and I have worked in the veterinary field for about 2-3 years now. I graduated from Martinsville, Class of 2018, and have lived in this area for about 7 years now. I will be furthering my education at Purdue Global to become a Certified Technician in the Spring of 2020. I share my home with a 3 year old Golden Retriever named Brady (yes, I am a Patriots fan!) and an almost 5 month old wrinkly Bloodhound named Bruiser! Being able to advocate for our furry friends and give them the best medical care makes the days both unique rewarding. I look forward to meeting everyone and their fur babies!
Cheyenne Gregory
Veterinary Assistant
Hello, my name is Cheyenne. I recently moved to the area from Flora, IL. I am furthering my education as a Veterinary Technician at Purdue University Global in the Summer of 2020. I am very happy to be working here at Farm& Family Veterinary Service. My job is never ending, and I am always learning new things! Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and fiance Luke. I also love caring for and loving on my two dachshunds, Clover and Calvin. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies here at our clinic!
Mikaela Silcock
Veterinary Assistant
Hello, I'm Mikaela. I am from the Terre Haute area and have had 6 years in the animal care business. I have my bachelors degree in biology from Indiana State University. I have worked at a variety of clinics, but Farm & Family has been the best fit for me and my pets. I have a variety of animals; 5 dogs (Kimber, Ruger, Butch, Kali, and Bear), 2 cats (Tilly who is indoors and Sassy who is outdoors), and 2 horses (Dilah and Cody). In my spare time I enjoy riding my horse, playing with my dogs, and going camping with my boyfriend John ( and the dogs)! I love working with animals and look forward to meeting you and your pets in the future.
