Meet the Team

I grew up in a small town in central Florida and I had the benefit of having many pets from cats and dogs to bunnies and horses. I feel very fortunate to have a career that I love.

Dr. Samantha Eichelberger grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania where her love for all things animals began. She knew from a young age that she wanted to be a veterinarian after going to appointments for her childhood dog Scruffy.

Bio coming soon!

My mother likes to tell people that when I was 3 days old I “rode” my first horse.

I grew up in Chapel Hill, NC and currently live in Apex.

A life-long animal lover, Dr. Newton decided she wanted to be a veterinarian when she was six years old. Fortunately, her family fully supported her dream even at this young age.

Our Hospital Manager Dan has been with us since 2017. He has two dogs, Charlie and Jax. His cat Biscuit was adopted from Lake Pine. Dan is a NCSU graduate and majored in Biological Sciences. He loves animals and medicine!

Giz enjoys working with animals and has been in the veterinary field for many years. She loves helping people take care of their animals.

Originally from South Florida, Mandie grew up with an innate love for animals and has been working in the petcare field since 2003.

Dustin has been a great addition to our team! He spends his home life with his wife and two dogs, Quinn and Lip. He and his wife are "foodies" and always know the best places to eat. Dustin is always happy to go the extra mile to help.

Bio coming soon!

Sam currently attends North Carolina Central University, where he is majoring in political science. As the son of Lake Pine Animal Hospital owner Dr. Katz, Sam takes a lot of pride in the clinic being a small business, allowing for meaningful connections to be made with our clients and patients.

Clementine is the clinic cat here at Lake Pine Animal Hospital. She is very photogenic and quite the boss lady around here. She is very friendly and loves to receive lots of treats.
