We Treat Your Pets Like Family
Only the best veterinary care for your dogs and cats.
Welcome to Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic!
Finding a reliable vet in Pikeville NC means finding someone who already knows your pet the next time you call. That’s the kind of relationship Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic has been building with dog and cat owners across the Goldsboro area and Eastern NC since 1965. Dr. Symphony Roberson, DVM, leads a tight-knit team of veterinary professionals who bring real skill and genuine care to every exam room.
This isn’t a practice that sees your pet as a chart number. It’s one that notices when something has changed, asks the questions that matter, and delivers the kind of pet care that keeps furry family members healthier over the long run. Sixty-plus years in the same community doesn’t happen without getting a lot of things right.
Our Mission
There’s a difference between a clinic that treats animals and one that actually invests in them. Dr. Symphony Roberson built the Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic around that distinction. The mission here has always been to deliver veterinary care that’s rooted in knowledge of the individual patient: not just their chart, but their personality, their patterns, and the small details that help a skilled vet spot a problem before it becomes a crisis. Proactive care and preventative care aren’t buzzwords at this practice; they’re the standard every appointment is held to. Pet owners who come here once tend to stay, because they quickly realize there’s a difference between being seen and being known.
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)
Pets sometimes face unexpected health challenges that call for surgical attention, and our team at Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic is equipped to handle them with care and precision. From spaying and neutering to repairing internal injuries, we offer a full range of procedures suited to your pet’s individual condition. Staying connected with you throughout the process is something we value deeply, because an informed pet owner makes recovery smoother for everyone.
Before any procedure begins, our vet conducts a complete health evaluation to establish the safest path forward, including reviewing anesthesia options tailored to your pet’s needs. A trained surgeon then performs the operation while our attentive staff keeps a close watch on your animal’s status from start to finish. Once your pet is stable and cleared to leave, we make sure you walk out the door feeling confident about the next steps in their healing journey.
Blood Work (Labs)
A single blood sample reveals a remarkable amount — from platelet counts and oxygen levels to cholesterol, digestive enzymes, and whether parasites or disease are present. Our on-site lab processes these panels quickly, reducing wait times and getting your pet closer to the care they need. Results may lead to a clear diagnosis right away or help guide the next step in their treatment plan.
Blood testing is also a required safety measure at Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic before anesthesia-dependent procedures and heartworm preventative administration. Beyond those requirements, our vet recommends routine lab panels, especially as pets age and become more vulnerable to conditions that develop without visible symptoms. Catching those issues early gives us a real advantage in protecting your pet’s long-term health.
Wellness Exams
Pets can’t tell us when something feels off, which is why routine wellness exams are such a valuable tool for staying ahead of potential health issues. During each visit, we administer vaccinations against conditions like rabies, feline leukemia, and parvovirus while evaluating your pet’s overall physical condition. Repeated visits also help even the most anxious animals grow comfortable with our team and surroundings.
At Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic, our vet shapes care guidance around your pet’s species, breed, and life stage; because a one-size fits all approach doesn’t serve every patient. We close each appointment with practical takeaways on diet, dental hygiene, and parasite management so you leave with a clear picture of their needs. Consistent annual visits are one of the simplest ways to support a longer, healthier life for your companion.
Sick Pet Exams
A noticeable change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or energy is often the first signal that something is medically wrong and those signs deserve attention right away. Our team conducts sick pet exams using hands-on evaluation paired with on-site lab work and imaging to accurately determine what your pet is experiencing. Getting to the root cause efficiently means your pet spends less time in discomfort and more time on the path to recovery.
At Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic, our vet builds every treatment plan around the specific condition affecting your animal, whether that calls for pain relief, orthopedic or soft tissue surgery, antiparasitic care, or a combination of therapies. We stabilize your pet first, then walk you through our findings and recommended next steps in plain, straightforward terms. Knowing you are fully informed throughout the process is just as important to us as the treatment itself.
Dentistry
Your pet’s mouth deserves the same attention as the rest of their body, especially since poor oral health can silently strain organs and diminish quality of life over time. Symptoms like excessive drooling, food avoidance, or foul odor may point to an underlying issue, but many pets show no signs at all until the problem has already progressed. Bringing your companion in for routine dentistry is the most reliable way to stay ahead of conditions that aren’t always visible at home.
Our vet examines your pet’s full oral health picture and performs professional cleanings to eliminate the buildup that leads to painful gum disease and eventual tooth loss. Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic also handles extractions when a tooth cannot be saved, with most pets cleared to return home the same day. Pairing these visits with a consistent at-home brushing routine delivers the strongest long-term results.
Bathing and Nail Trim
Professional bathing and nail trim services deliver real physical benefits that go well beyond keeping your pet clean. Nails at the right length support natural movement and prevent the structural strain that builds quietly when overgrowth goes unaddressed. Clean coats also mean fewer allergens, less shedding, and a lower chance of painful matting developing over time.
Our team at Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic uses each appointment to closely examine teeth, skin, and ears that often go unchecked between vet visits, turning grooming into an early detection opportunity. Pets with active skin conditions or flea-related issues may also benefit from medicated bathing, selected based on their fur type and health background. We help you build a grooming schedule that genuinely fits your pet’s individual needs.

Testimonials
Your Dog or Cat Needs More Than Checkups and This Vet in Pikeville NC Delivers It!
Routine check-ups are where problems get caught early. Dental care is where silent pain gets addressed before it affects your pet’s ability to eat. Proactive care is what separates pets that age well from those that don’t. As your vet in Pikeville NC, Dr. Symphony Roberson and Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic are ready to be the team your pet sees consistently, not just when something goes wrong.
When you’re ready to get your pet on schedule, the team at 919.778.3058 is a good first call. If you want a feel for the practice before you come in, the clinic’s Facebook and Instagram give you a window into the people and the day-to-day behind the care.
FAQs
My pet is due for several things at once. Can the clinic handle multiple services in a single visit?
Yes, and consolidating services into one appointment is something the team actively accommodates. A vet visit can include a physical exam, vaccinations, a nail trim, bloodwork, and a microchip without needing to be split across multiple trips. Letting the team know what your pet is due for when you book gives them time to prepare so nothing gets missed and your pet isn’t in the clinic longer than necessary.
Does the clinic offer anything for pet owners who can't always make it in?
Two options exist for situations where a clinic visit isn’t practical. Through the sister practice Symphony Mobile Veterinary Clinic, also led by Dr. Roberson, in-home veterinary care and telemedicine are available across Goldsboro, Wayne County, Kinston, and surrounding Eastern NC. The online pharmacy through SecureVetSource also means specific medications and preventatives can be ordered from home and delivered directly to your door without a separate trip.
What should I know about heartworm prevention options at this clinic?
The clinic offers Proheart injections as an alternative to monthly heartworm prevention pills. Rather than relying on a pill given at the same time each month, Proheart provides extended protection through a single injection, removing the risk of a missed dose leaving your pet unprotected. If staying on a monthly schedule has been a challenge, it’s worth asking the team whether Proheart is a good fit for your dog at the next appointment.
Does the clinic have any formal accreditations or professional affiliations?
Yes. Eastwaye Veterinary Clinic is a Better Business Bureau accredited business and a Talk Awards 2020 winner. The practice also holds affiliations with the AVMA, the NCVMA, and the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. For pet owners who want assurance that a clinic is held to recognized professional standards, these affiliations reflect a level of accountability that not every local practice maintains.
What is the difference between boarding and daycare at the clinic?
Daycare is designed for pets that need supervision and companionship during the day while their owner is away, without an overnight stay. Boarding covers extended stays when you’re traveling or unavailable for multiple days. Both are available for dogs and cats, and both happen in a veterinary setting, meaning trained staff are on hand throughout, which provides a meaningful safety net compared to non-medical boarding facilities.
