Dr. Denise was born and raised in the heart of Texas, and is a second generation veterinarian. She received her bachelor of veterinary science from Texas A&M University in 1986, and her doctorate of veterinary medicine degree from Texas A&M University in 1989. Dr. Denise completed her certification for veterinary chiropractics by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association in 1998. She will soon begin training in veterinary acupuncture as well.

Tina Lee : If there is one person, besides Dr. Denise Easterling, at Easterling Vet Services who has a deep understanding of animals and the care of them, then Tina Lee is that person. A wife, a mother and a grandmother, Tina has worked with Easterling Vet Services for more than 22 years – first in Centerville with Dr. Denise’s dad, the late Dr. A.M. Easterling, Jr., then with Dr. Denise before coming to join Dr. Denise in Madisonville after Dr. A.M. passed away.
A resident of Buffalo, Lee has worked with horses and other animals all her life. In fact, it has been said that folks who have problems with a dog or cat’s behavior can call Tina and the animal is calm. When asked about that quality, Lee just will shrug humbly and say, “it is nothing that no one else can do.” But many people who know her will beg to differ.
She and Dr. Denise have been friends a long time, and after Dr. Denise got out of vet school, “She become my vet, and I went down to help her one week, and well, the rest is history.”
Willie McAdams: Willie is a native of Madisonville, and is a big help here at the clinic. His extensive experience with cattle makes him a great hand with our cattle patients. When not at the clinic, Willie works cattle and competes in ranch rodeos. He enjoys spending time with his wife, Leslie, and their son, Deontae.
Crystal Ridaway: Another familiar face around Madison County is Crystal Ridgaway.Crystal comes to Easterling Vet Services from North Zulch. She has been a vet tech for nearly two years, and will do a little bit of everything at EVS. Excited about being apart of such a hard-working, dedicated and compassionate team at EVS, Crystal has always loved animals. “I worked in shelters, and remember just loving animals and helping take care of them even when I was in elementary school.” She has two cats, working on getting a dog, likes being outside, cooking and hanging out with family and friends.
Connie Morgan: Connie Morgan answers the phones, making appointments and doing other general office duties at Easterling Veterinary Service in Madisonville. A lifelong resident of Madison County, the mother of two and grandmother of two is a familiar face around town and with her personable personality and willingness to help others, Connie will be a welcome addition to the already friendly staff at EVS. A cat lover, Connie said of animals in general, “They are friendly for the most part, and I like them, because they are calming.”
Sina Panzar: Sina Panzar has been with Easterling for quite a while now. Sina is originally from Kingwood, TX. She moved to Aggieland to pursue an Animal Science degree at Texas A&M University. Sina plans on getting her master’s degree in genetics, and performing in-vitro fertilization and artificial insemination on horses and cattle. In her spare time, Sina rides and shows hunter/jumper horses, and loves spending time with her three dogs – Hershey (Chocolate Lab), Cash (Yellow Lab), and Fred(Bloodhound).
