A bit about Dr. Eastman:
I grew up in Utah, West Bountiful. I went to Viewmont High School. I graduated from BYU with a bachelors in Athletic Training. I went to Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine on the Naval Health Professions Scholarship, graduating in 1999. My wife Kim and I have been married for 32 years. We love being together. We traveled to London this fall, our first time across the Atlantic together. We have 3 wonderful children and 4 granddaughters.

What keeps you passionate about family medicine? Working with residents keeps me passionate about family medicine. Their curiosity, their willingness to adjust to new information, is really inspiring to me. There is always something to learn in our job.

Where will we find you on your day off? Playing golf or hitting balls. Eating out with Kim.
