It has always been the dream of Dr. Danny Wright to own his own veterinary hospital, and on November 19, 1999, that dream was realized as Brown Creek Animal Hospital opened its doors for business in Dr. Wright’s hometown of Polkton, North Carolina. The first hospital was a quaint 1,800-square-foot concrete block building. Dr. Wright served as the general contractor for the construction of the hospital while also adding a great deal of “sweat equity” into his dream. The hospital had a small waiting area, two exam rooms, small surgery and radiography rooms, twenty animal cages, and four dog runs. The staff consisted of Dr. Wright, his wife Meri Beth as his assistant, and his sister as the receptionist. Our hospital has continued to be blessed and grow. With the addition of Dr. Skip Severt in the summer of 2007, soon followed by Dr. Rutledge, Dr. Marsha Severt, and recently Dr. Daniel Fordham, we have increased our capabilities and services to our patients. As time passed, the need for expansion became apparent. A 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility located adjacent to our hospital became vacant. After several months of negotiating, planning, and prayer, Drs. Wright and Severt purchased the property. The northern half of the building was completely remodeled into a state-of-the-art companion animal hospital. We opened the doors of the new facility on July 19, 2010. Our new hospital has over 10,000 square feet of space. We have over 50 individual canine runs, a feline ward with cages and “kitty condos,” a canine ward for our hospitalized canine patients, and an isolation ward for infectious patients. The new hospital has three spacious exam rooms, a consultation room, a state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratory, a pharmacy, a large surgery suite, and an expansive treatment area

Mission — Our Goal: To Treat Every Pet as Our Own! At Brown Creek Animal Hospital, we strive to provide personalized compassionate care to our patients as well as their owners. We understand that everyone’s situation may be different, and so a personalized approach to you and your pet ensures that appropriate care and service are customized specifically to your needs. We want everyone, whether two-legged or four, to feel welcome and comfortable at our hospital. Our practice first opened its doors in 1999. While our practice and capabilities have grown substantially over the years, our mission and purpose have remained the same
