We Treat Your Pets Like Family
Only the best veterinary care for your dogs and cats.
Welcome to Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic!
Somewhere between juggling work, family, and everything else life throws at you, your pet’s health can quietly fall behind. A Seven Springs vet worth trusting makes that easier to manage, not by rushing you through appointments, but by building the kind of familiarity that turns routine visits into a real safety net for your animal. Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic has been that resource for dog and cat owners across the Goldsboro area since 1965.
The clinic is led by Dr. Symphony Roberson, DVM, a USDA-accredited, fear-free certified veterinarian whose approach to veterinary care is rooted in thoroughness, honest communication, and a genuine respect for the role pets play in your life. This is a practice that has stayed relevant for over six decades because it keeps earning the right to be.
Our Mission
Veterinary medicine works best when it’s built on more than a visit log. At this practice, the focus has always been on understanding each animal as an individual, their habits, their history, and the changes that matter long before they show up as a serious problem. Dr. Symphony Roberson established this veterinary medical practice with a clear purpose: give pet owners in Eastern North Carolina access to thorough, relationship-driven care that actually keeps pace with their animal’s needs.
Meeting those animal needs means staying curious at every exam, asking the right questions, and treating the human-pet bond as something worth protecting, not just acknowledging. That philosophy has shaped this clinic for generations, and it still drives every appointment today.
Why Choose Us
Our Services
As trusted vets in Goldsboro, NC, Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic offers the Goldsboro community comprehensive veterinary care, including medical, surgical, and dental services. We also have an in-house pharmacy with access to specialists, making our veterinary facility a one-stop shop for your pet’s health and medical needs.
Surgery (All Types)
When your pet needs an operation, our compassionate team at Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic is here to help every step of the way. We handle a wide variety of procedures, from routine spay and neuter surgeries to emergency wound and laceration repair. As your trusted Seven Springs vet, we prioritize keeping you informed and your pet comfortable throughout the entire experience.
About 20 minutes before anesthesia, we administer a pre-surgical sedative and analgesic to ease your pet into the procedure safely. Our attentive team stays by your pet’s side while our skilled surgeon works, monitoring closely as they wake up from anesthesia. Before you take your pet home, we discuss key recovery signs so you feel fully prepared.
Blood Work (Labs)
Knowing what’s happening inside your pet’s body is the first step toward effective treatment, and our on-site lab makes that possible during your very visit. A single blood sample can tell us a great deal. As your Seven Springs vet, we combine these detailed results with our clinical expertise to create a clear, personalized care plan for your pet.
Blood work also plays a vital role outside of sick visits at Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic. We use lab testing to screen pets before administering heartworm preventatives like ProHeart, since giving these medications to an already-infected animal can be dangerous. Routine panels are equally valuable for aging pets, helping us stay ahead of conditions that may not yet show visible symptoms.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams give our veterinary team the opportunity to spot potential health concerns before they become serious problems. Beyond a routine checkup, these visits serve as a chance for your pet to grow familiar with our caring staff — making future appointments, and even emergencies, far less stressful for everyone. Our team is also happy to discuss food choices, behavioral concerns, training tips, and any other questions you have about your cat or dog’s well-being.
At Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic, we believe every pet deserves a health strategy built around their individual needs as your trusted Seven Springs vet. Certain breeds, life stages, and health histories call for different approaches, whether that means a specialized diet, a dental care routine, or updated guidance on heartworm and parasite control. Each wellness exam appointment wraps up with personalized recommendations to keep your companion thriving well into their senior years.
Sick Pet Exams
Pets are naturally good at masking pain and discomfort, which is why prompt professional evaluation matters so much when something seems off. Our veterinarian uses a combination of thorough physical assessment and on-site diagnostic tools, including in-house lab work and radiology, to uncover what is affecting your pet’s health. At Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic, having these resources under one roof means we spend less time waiting and more time treating.
Sick pet exams at our clinic cover a broad spectrum of conditions, from sudden injuries to infections, parasites, and beyond. As your Seven Springs vet, we prioritize immediate symptom relief before moving into a full diagnostic workup and personalized treatment plan. Depending on your pet’s needs, care may involve prescription medications, fluid therapy, pain management, or surgical intervention performed by our experienced veterinary team.
Dentistry
Many pet owners are surprised to learn that oral health problems rank among the most common issues veterinarians treat in cats and dogs. Infections around the gums do not just cause discomfort; they can quietly contribute to bigger systemic issues as your pet ages, including loss of appetite and organ stress. At Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic, our dentistry services give Dr. Lewis and our team a full picture of your pet’s oral health, from routine cleanings to necessary extractions performed on an outpatient basis.
Regular professional cleanings do more than freshen breath; they prevent periodontal disease, reduce pain, and help preserve your pet’s teeth long-term. As your Seven Springs vet, we also guide you on building a strong home care routine, since daily brushing is the foundation of lasting oral health for any cat or dog. Pet-safe toothpastes in flavors your companion actually enjoys can make that daily habit much easier to establish and maintain.
Bathing and Nail Trim
Good hygiene plays a bigger role in your pet’s well-being than many owners realize, and professional grooming is one of the simplest ways to support it. Baths help prevent matting, reduce unwanted shedding, and keep ears clean, which lowers the chance of ear infections developing over time. Nail trims are equally important, as overgrown nails can alter your pet’s natural gait and lead to discomfort or injury if left unaddressed.
At Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic, our bathing and nail trim appointments double as a wellness screening, with our team checking your pet’s coat, skin, eyes, paws, and teeth during every visit. Our Seven Springs vet team also offers medicated baths for pets experiencing flea infestations or specific skin conditions, selected based on your pet’s medical history and fur type. Every grooming visit is an opportunity to keep your companion comfortable, clean, and one step ahead of potential health issues.

FAQs
How is this clinic different from a general walk-in animal hospital?
Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic is an appointment-based practice, which means your pet’s visit is planned, prepared for, and never rushed. Rather than operating on a first-come, first-served basis, our team reviews your pet’s background before you arrive and structures the appointment around their specific needs. That preparation makes a real difference; you leave with clear answers, not a stack of pamphlets and a follow-up in six months.
What does a first visit typically involve?
A first visit starts with a full nose-to-tail physical exam, giving the veterinarian a baseline picture of your pet’s current health. Depending on your pet’s age and history, the doctor may recommend blood work, a fecal test, or updated vaccinations to fill in any gaps. It’s also a good time to bring up anything you’ve noticed at home because those details often point the team toward things worth monitoring.
Does the clinic offer any services related to traveling with pets?
Yes. Dr. Symphony Roberson is USDA-accredited, which means the clinic can issue official health certificates required for domestic and international pet travel. If you’re planning to move, fly with your pet, or cross state lines, getting the right documentation in order before your trip is essential. Our team can walk you through what’s needed based on your destination and help make sure your pet meets all health requirements before departure.
How does the clinic support pet owners managing a pet with ongoing health conditions?
Pets with chronic conditions, whether it’s a skin disorder, joint problems, or a recurring internal issue, benefit from seeing a team that already understands their case rather than re-explaining it at every visit. The clinic’s in-house diagnostic tools make it easier to monitor changes over time without sending you to outside facilities. Ongoing cases are managed with the same attention to detail as any first visit, and the team adjusts care as your pet’s condition evolves.
Is telemedicine available, and when does it make sense to use it?
Telemedicine is available through Symphony Mobile Veterinary Clinic, the sister practice also led by Dr. Roberson. It’s a practical option when you need a professional opinion on something that doesn’t clearly warrant a full clinic visit. It’s not a replacement for hands-on care, but it can help you decide quickly whether what you’re seeing needs urgent attention or can wait for a scheduled appointment.
