Meet Our Team

Dr. John Lewis & Buddy

Small-Animal Veterinarian, Owner

My name is John Lewis, and I’m married with two girls, Kristyn and Kelly. We also have three dogs, four cats, a horse, two ponies, and two donkeys to help make up our family.

I grew up in Newport News, Virginia with my brother and sister. I attended James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., where I received my B.S. in biology in 1986. I graduated from veterinary school at Virginia Tech Regional – Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 1991, and have been practicing small animal veterinary medicine since that time. Most of that time was spent in the Tidewater area of Virginia with the exception of two and a half years in Nags Head, North Carolina. My special interests are in the fields of surgery and dentistry.

My hobbies include golfing, fishing, and surfing. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my children, especially walking with our dogs. We are looking forward to exploring and discovering new areas in this region. Above all, we are excited about becoming a part of this community and serving our clients and patients. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the high quality, compassionate care your pets deserve.

Teresa “Treece” Lewis & Lenny

Administrator

Most people call me ‘Treece’, and I have always loved animals and seem to find myself surrounded by them.

Before moving to Goldsboro, I owned my own pet sitting business called Helping Hand Animal Care, in Chesapeake, Virginia. It was hard to leave all my four legged friends because I got so attached to them. They are all so different and so special in their own ways. I especially enjoy taking care of horses.

I am married to Dr. Lewis and have two daughters who seem to have inherited our love for animals. Any critter that they find becomes a new family pet, if only for a few days until it’s back on its feet and headed for home. They are just like their mom and dad.

A special thank you to my mother for instilling her love and compassion for all creatures great and small. Thanks mom! I love you bunches!

I’m excited and looking forward to meeting all the new people and their pets that come into Eastwaye veterinary clinic! I know I will get attached very easily!!
