How far is Animal Medical Center from Newport Beach, CA?

Approximately 8 miles from central Newport Beach — about 15–20 minutes via the 55 Freeway north to Harbor Blvd. From Balboa Island or Corona del Mar, take Jamboree or MacArthur north to the 55, then head toward Fountain Valley.

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

Walk-ins are always welcome. We never require an appointment, and urgent or emergency cases are always seen first. Calling ahead lets us prepare, but it's entirely optional.

What types of animals do you treat?

We provide full veterinary care for dogs and cats, with separate waiting areas for each to minimize stress for your pet.

Do you offer emergency vet services for Newport Beach pets?

Yes — during operating hours (Mon–Fri 7:30 am–6 pm, Sat 8 am–5 pm) we handle urgent and emergency cases as the top priority. Call (714) 531-1155 or come straight in. After hours, our phone message will direct you to the nearest 24-hour emergency hospital.

My dog swims at the beach often — do you treat skin and ear conditions?

Absolutely. Dermatology and ear conditions are among the most common issues we see in active coastal dogs. Our veterinarians are experienced in treating swimmer's ear, skin irritation from saltwater and sand, and related conditions common in beach-going pets.

What advanced imaging do you offer?

We have on-site CT scanning, echocardiograms, and ultrasound — all offered at low cost without requiring a specialist referral. Newport Beach pet owners can access the same diagnostic quality as a specialty hospital, typically at a fraction of the price and with far shorter wait times.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, and CareCredit financing for flexible payment plans over time.

50+ Years of Experience

Established in 1972, our veterinarians bring decades of expertise and a genuine passion for animal health to every appointment.

Newport Beach is one of Orange County's most beautiful communities — from the waterfront neighborhoods of Balboa Island and Lido Isle to the hilltop homes of Newport Coast and the harbor-adjacent streets of Corona del Mar. Wherever you live in Newport Beach, Animal Medical Center in Fountain Valley is a quick 15–20 minute drive north via the 55 Freeway or MacArthur Blvd.

Newport Beach pet owners choose us because we offer the diagnostic depth of a specialty hospital at everyday prices. Our on-site CT scanner, echocardiogram, and ultrasound equipment means your dog or cat gets thorough answers at a single appointment — no referral, no waiting weeks for a specialist slot.

Coastal pets face their own unique considerations — from salt air and beach activity to the skin and ear conditions common in dogs that swim regularly. Our veterinarians understand active, outdoor Orange County pets and tailor care accordingly.

We've been serving Southern California since 1972 and accept CareCredit financing alongside Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Apple Pay — so excellent care is always within reach.
