Meet
Eric M. Irwin
Owner / Hospital Administrator
Eric owns Newport Mesa Animal Hospital with his wife Katie, and works as the Hospital Administrator. He has been working here since 2002, after basically growing up running around the hospital. After managing the clinic for 6 years, he purchased the hospital from his father, Dr. Tom. He enjoys working alongside his father (Dr. Tom), whom now strictly practices veterinary medicine anytime that he’s not out surfing! Eric previously worked as a firefighter in Central California but resigned after 6 years to focus on running the family business.
Outside work, Eric spends most of his time on the golf course. He played professional golf for a few years but now plays as an amateur in his free time. When he’s not on the links, he’s spending time with his family. Did we mention he is a die-hard Anaheim Ducks fan AND Green Bay Packers fan?
His pets include Lindy (French Bulldog), Larry (French Bulldog), Tobie (Tuxedo Cat), and Nancy (DLH cat).
