DVM
Dr. Eastman grew up in Miami until she moved to Gainesville to attend the University of Florida. While there, she earned her Bachelor, Master and Veterinary degrees. From an early age, she was drawn to helping animals and took every opportunity to save stray dogs, cats and even a rabbit once. During her time at UF, she worked as a veterinary technician in small animal hospitals and briefly participated in dairy cattle research.
Dr. Eastman joined the Lake Emma team as a relief veterinarian in 2018 until becoming an associate in 2023. As a relief vet, she rotated through many central Florida hospitals where temporary coverage was needed. As an associate, she most enjoys getting to build long-term relationships with her clients and patients!
She and her husband spend their free time with their children, often involving youth sports. As hound enthusiasts, they also share their home with Dax and Lucy, who are bluetick coonhound/beagle mix litter mates who joined the family as COVID puppies. When possible, Dr. Eastman enjoys baking and traveling.
