Profile

Nettie Irwin, MD is a board-certified pediatric provider with the FHP Pediatrics Clinic, who grew up in Fairbanks and always wanted to return to practice medicine in her home town. She fell in love with pediatrics during medical school, where she found that kids show such a capacity for joy and fun that working with them makes every day enjoyable. 

Listening to her patients and their families to understand their experiences is always a priority for Dr. Irwin, as she believes patients feeling heard and supported is as important as the science of medicine. She believes it's a privilege to provide care for the youngest of patients in our community, while also working with their parents or caregivers.   

Interests & Activities

Dr. Irwin makes sure to take time every day to do the things that she enjoys and that fill her cup. Away from her practice, you can find her spending time with her family, dogs and friends. She also enjoys reading, swimming, knitting (knitted her first sweater in 2024!) and spending time outdoors.
