Newport Mesa Animal Hospital

Brought our furry baby in with a joint/swelling issue as first time patient. Dr. Tom's staff, tech and office is welcoming, knowledgeable and competent. Our pup is being treated as one of their own and already showing great improvement with protocols set in place for his care. We have no need to go elsewhere.

This is a gem of a find. I just moved here and found Newport Mesa. I had to take my cat Oliver in for some lumps. Then, he declined rapidly and I took him in to Dr. Steiner. She communicated with me ALL day about him. I never had unanswered questions or felt confused.

Unfortunately, I did have to put him down and the only thing that made this impossible task was the kindness and compassion from the ENTIRE staff. I really got lucky finding this place and I’m so grateful to them for their caring. Thank you.

I've been going to Newport Mesa Animal Hospital for over 15 years. I moved to San Diego a few years back and I still take my dog to see Dr. Tom every 6 months for a check up and every 4 months for dental work. Under Dr. Tom's excellent care, my 14-1/2 year old Yorkie Louie, is in excellent health and acts like he's 6. Dr. Tom has been a great vet and has given me much needed advice on Louie's upbringing. I feel confident in all Dr. Tom's decisions and wouldn't take Louie anywhere else.

Grateful is the magic word. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Tom and this wonderful clinic. His staff are so sweet and they all truly care about my Snickers girl!! Both Dr. Tom and Dr. Keating didn’t want to do any tests that weren’t necessary thus avoiding major costs for me. That’s rare in the vet world. Everyone there is good, hardworking people that seriously love animals and have high morals and values. Dr. Tom is super personable and damn knowledgeable that’s for sure. We had a good laugh. The clinic has a very homey feel as soon as you walk in, It felt like a breath of fresh air when I walked in. I was worried about my cat, just crushed that she wasn’t acting herself and scared myself. I always pack a bag for Snickers (pillow, my t-shirts, her blanket) and the girl with the super curly hair said that’s totally great we will put it in with her! The girls at the front are always busy but they don’t look stressed or unhappy and are always ready to help as soon as we walk in the door. AND Dr. Tom (tearing up as I’m writing this) emailed me after I had emailed his office staff asking for help saying that he will personally take us on (instead of passing us along to someone else.) He has had great communication with me, emails and calls. This may seem like a dramatic review lol but my cat means the world to me and to have found a vet that is just so all around amazing, well, just feels real good. Thank you Dr. Tom, we adore you.
