Over 30 Years in the Making
Dr. Sorensen graduated from Colorado State University in 1983. After working in Arizona for a year he came to Moab and opened the Moab Veterinary Clinic. Dr Sorensen loves working with animals, small and big, and the people who belong to them. When he first opened the clinic it was only him and his wife, Sheryl. Sheryl is the key element that keeps things in the clinic running smoothly from day to day. Having started the business side by side with Dr. Sorensen she knows all the ins and outs to the business. She often works right alongside her husband as a technician and/or receptionist on top of all her other responsibilities as office manager. Initially Dr. Sorensen and Sheryl worked out of the garage until they could afford to add on to the practice. Since the start they have expanded the facilities and upgraded their equipment multiple times. 2013 saw the addition of the mobile trailer to the Moab Veterinary Clinic, which has since become indispensable, providing veterinary care in smaller rural communities. The mobile clinic makes a visit to Monticello once a week on Tuesdays (barring weather and fairgrounds activities) and Green River once a month on the first Thursday (barring weather).
The Moab Veterinary Clinic proudly serves Southeastern Utah and Southwestern Colorado. We also work in conjunction with the Moab Valley Humane Society, providing spay/neuter clinics. In 2017 we partnered with Hoof and Paw in Nucla, Colorado and brought our mobile clinic to Nucla to hold a spay/neuter clinic and have been providing spay/neuter clinic services periodically ever since. We hold vaccination clinics once a year in Moab, Monticello, and Green River, Utah. The Moab Veterinary Clinic also offers endoscopy services, ultrasound for large and small animals, digital x-ray, basic small animal dentistry, boarding for small animals, emergency services, and many surgical procedures. We work with many ranchers in the surrounding area, offering ultrasound for pregnancy checking, USDA accredited veterinarians to perform Bangs (brucellosis) vaccinations and tattooing, Coggins (Equine Infectious Anemia) testing, bovine trichomoniasis (trich) testing, equine teeth floating, bull fertility testing, and pulmonary arterial pressure testing for cattle (brisket disease).
In 2017, we worked with Vets First Choice to provide an online pharmacy option to our clients. Our online pharmacy offers many products not normally stocked in our brick and mortar (or mobile) clinic and offers auto shipping on many items! In 2020 we have partnered with Hill’s to Home to offer delivery on Hill’s Science Diet and Prescription Diet foods.
