Yael Farah

Veterinarian

DVM

I am an experienced locum veterinarian with a background in surgery, dentistry, physical therapy, preventive care, and exotics medicine. I earned my degree from the University Of Illinois School Of Veterinary Medicine, where I honed my skills in both clinical and surgical care.

Since 2022, I have been working primarily with VCA Hawthorn, providing high-quality veterinary care. In addition to my work at VCA, I have maintained my passion for wildlife medicine, contributing to wildlife rehabilitation efforts at Willowbrook Wildlife Animal Hospital.

My compassionate approach extends to both my professional and personal life. I share my home with my husband Matt, three children, two dogs—Willow, an anxious cattle dog-pit mix, and Gus Gus, a friendly pug—and a three-year-old bearded dragon, Figment. My diverse interests and expertise makes me a well-rounded and dedicated professional in veterinary care.
