About Us
Brentwood Animal Hospital, located in the Brentwood area of Raleigh, is well-established and has been providing professional veterinarian services to the local community. It was started by Dr. David Gray and continued by Dr. Steve Neuenschwander. When Dr. Neuenschwander retired in 2017 he sold the practice to Dr. Amanda Hild. Dr. Hild has worked at Brentwood Animal Hospital since 2013. She hopes to continue the practice’s traditions of quality veterinary medicine at affordable prices with personal service!
