We are beyond proud to share that SOCPA pediatrician Dr. Eric Ball has been named the 2026 Orange County Medical Association Physician of the Year!
Established in 1983, the OCMA Physician of the Year Award is one of Orange County’s highest honors for physicians. The award recognizes a doctor whose career reflects exceptional patient care, leadership, professionalism, education and service to the community.

His unwavering dedication to children and families, his genuine support of colleagues and staff, and his compassionate approach to pediatric care make this recognition especially meaningful.
