We Treat Your Pets Like Family
Only the best veterinary care for your dogs and cats.
Welcome to Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic!
Our Seven Springs vet helps local families keep their pets healthy with preventive care that fits busy schedules. Regular checkups catch problems early, when they’re easier and less costly to treat.
Each wellness visit includes a full physical exam, vaccine updates, and parasite prevention tailored to your pet’s lifestyle. We also check teeth, weight, and joints, and recommend screenings when needed.
Many families in the area make the short drive for care they can count on. We take time to get to know each animal, so our recommendations always fit their personality and needs.
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)
If your pet needs an operation, our caring team will support you from start to finish. We perform a wide range of procedures, from routine spays and neuters to urgent wound repairs. Throughout the process, we keep you updated and focus on your companion’s comfort.
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. Our on-site lab makes that possible, often during the same visit. A single blood sample can reveal a great deal. We pair those results with our clinical experience to build a clear, personalized care plan.
Bloodwork also matters outside of sick visits. Before starting heartworm preventives like ProHeart, we test to confirm your companion isn’t already infected, because giving these medications to an infected animal can be dangerous. Routine panels are just as valuable for aging pets, helping us catch conditions before symptoms appear.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams let us spot potential concerns before they become serious problems. These visits also help your pet get to know our staff, which can make future appointments, and even emergencies, far less stressful. We’re happy to talk about food choices, behavior, training, or any other questions you have about your companion’s well-being.
Every animal deserves a plan built around their individual needs. Breed, life stage, and medical history all shape the right approach, whether that means a specialized diet, a dental routine, or updated heartworm and parasite guidance. Each visit wraps up with personalized recommendations to help your pet thrive well into their senior years.
Sick Pet Exams
Animals are good at hiding pain, so a prompt evaluation matters when something seems off. We start with a thorough physical exam and, when needed, use in-house lab work and X-rays to uncover the problem. Having these tools in one place means less time waiting and more time treating.
Sick visits cover a wide range of concerns, from sudden injuries to infections and parasites. Our first goal is to ease your companion’s symptoms. Then, we complete a full diagnostic workup and build a personalized plan. Depending on the cause, care may include prescription medication, fluid therapy, pain relief, or surgery performed by our experienced team.
Dentistry
Many owners are surprised to learn that dental problems are among the most common issues veterinarians treat. Gum infections don’t just cause discomfort. Over time, they can contribute to wider health concerns, including appetite loss and stress on internal organs. Dr. Lewis and our team evaluate your companion’s entire mouth and provide everything from routine cleanings to outpatient extractions.
Professional cleanings do more than freshen breath. They help prevent periodontal disease, reduce pain, and protect teeth for the long term. We’ll also help you build a simple home routine, since daily brushing is the foundation of a healthy mouth. Pet-safe toothpaste in a flavor your pet enjoys can make that habit much easier to keep.
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.
Our grooming appointments double as a quick wellness check. While your pet is with us, we look over the coat, skin, eyes, paws, and teeth. For fleas or certain skin conditions, we also offer medicated baths, chosen based on medical history and fur type. Each visit helps keep your companion clean, comfortable, and one step ahead of potential problems.

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.
