Founded in 1981 by Dr. Tim Sorrells, Manchester Veterinary Services is a long-standing and reputable companion animal practice in Manchester, Maryland. The practice recently completed a 10-year equipment and facility improvement process, and in September 2020 we opened a brand new location three minutes north of the former clinic’s site. With this new expansion and updated equipment, the practice is able to offer a broader range of services to its clients. Along with routine veterinary work, MVS offers x-ray, dental, ultrasound, surgery, and therapy laser services, among others.
