Our History
In 1967, Dr. Norman Osgood, a local veterinarian, purchased property in Oak Creek, Wisconsin: a residence, two buildings capable of housing 20 dogs each, and adjacent land. He converted his garage into a two-room clinic for his veterinary medicine practice. In 1971, Dr. Osgood broke ground and constructed a new clinic on the adjacent lot on Ryan Road. He added an associate veterinarian and receptionist to his expanded practice and founded Brentwood Animal Hospital.
Today, we are located in the same building but have a new boarding facility within the clinic itself. Newly remodeled, the facility continues to expand and add new staff members. Two of our five veterinarians are Dr. Osgood’s twin sons, Doctors Brad and Brett Osgood!

Dr. Nancy decided by the time she was in grade school that she would become a veterinarian. Since then she has had many types of pets, including gerbils, mice, rabbits, cats, dogs, and horses. She enjoys spending free time with her family, long walks with the dogs, biking, and gardening.
Dr. Laura Jens

When she was 13, she started volunteering at the WHS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center feeding baby birds. She then worked her way up to treatment room and ICU care. During college, she expanded her veterinary experience at the Milwaukee County Zoo where she helped with all aspects of care including the development of customized enrichment programs for marine mammals. She enjoys working with all species of companion animals. She is a member of the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians and is a Level 2 Fear Free Certified Professional.

A recent addition to her family is a hamster, Hammie, who was adopted by Dr. Heino shortly after treating Hammie’s many health issues. She also enjoys cooking, swimming, watching movies and spending time with family and friends. She looks forward to meeting you at your next visit!

Dr. Brad and the staff at Brentwood are outstanding! The staff always makes us feel welcome even when just picking something up. They are compassionate and caring. As for Dr. Brad, not only is he a great vet, but he is a wonderful person! He not only makes sure you understand the care your pet is getting, but he takes his time with your pet to make them feel comfortable!! Our family has been going here since the 70’s and every one of our dogs has always received the best possible care. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Brad and the staff at Brentwood and I have to family & friends!
