Brandywine Veterinary Hospital PA, is owned and operated by Dr. Catherine Bruton. She is originally from Raleigh, NC and graduated from North Carolina State University in 1999. Dr. Bruton spent a year in Athens, Georgia at the University of Georgia completing an internship in large animal medicine and surgery. She was a large animal veterinarian in Apex, North Carolina from 2000-2002 and then switched species, practicing at Crossroads Veterinary Hospital in Raleigh from April 2002 until June 2006.

Dr. Bruton likes to spend her free time with her family, both human and animal alike. Her mom and dad (Mary and Charles), live in Fremont and her brother, sister-in-law and nephew (Charlie and Kori and Nick) live in Goldsboro where her brother owns a landscaping and nursery business. She has a boxer and 2 cats as well as horses that she shares with the rest of the family. Her other interests include reading (non-fiction). watching and playing sports (basketball), and being outdoors.

The name Brandywine has a special meaning to the Bruton family. Brandy and Winnie were Tennessee Walking Horses purchased in 1987 to help Catherine and Charlie learn many aspects of pet ownership, responsibility and to "keep them out of trouble" as they grew up. Brandy and Winnie died in July 2005 but the lessons learned from these two animals are life long.

Dr. Catherine Deans
Hello everyone.   My name is Dr. Catherine Deans and I‘m new to Brandywine Veterinary Hospital, but not exactly new to Wilson.  Some of you may already know me since I grew up in Wilson and graduated from Fike High School.  For those I haven’t met yet, I look forward to getting to know you.  Wilson has changed a lot since I lived here (and is still growing), but the people remain friendly , the food the best, and the community very welcoming.  This community supported, educated , and guided me on my way to becoming a veterinarian.  I am thankful for that.  I will be glad to run into some old friends again.  I like to see how much gray hair we have at this point.  I truly enjoy patient care, and I do the best I can for my patients.  My educational background includes a degree in Animal, Dairy , and Veterinary Sciences from Clemson University.  I attended NC State Veterinary School and graduated in 1999.  Yes, Dr. Bruton and I were classmates.  When the two schools face-off, I confess that I pull for the Tigers. I have an especially soft spot for geriatric patients, and I enjoy Dermatology quite a bit.  I enjoy most things outdoors, although I’ve never been camping.  I still like all kinds of sports, playing and watching.  I try to workout routinely, although my body doesn’t cooperate sometimes (or my mind).  I love spending time with my two lab mixes, Jet and Sylvie, who were adopted.   They amaze me with their ability to comfort and make me laugh.  I hope that I can do the same for you and your pet.  Please don’t hesitate to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer as honestly as I can.  I look forward to meeting new people and their pets in town and getting reacquainted with “the old”.  I mean that in the nicest way.
