Appointments
Should I book a medical or spa appointment?
Choose Book Medical for a foot or ankle concern you’d like evaluated. For routine grooming or relaxation, choose Book Spa Services. If you’re looking for help with thick nails, corns, or calluses, see Medical Pedicures or call us if you’re unsure.
Where is your Costa Mesa office?
We’re at 485 E. 17th St., Suite 500, Costa Mesa, CA 92627, on the fifth floor. Get directions or call (949) 650-1147 if you need help finding the office.
What should I bring to my first medical visit?
Bring a list of current medications and any relevant imaging or records you already have. If your concern comes up in specific shoes or while using orthotics, bring those with you so you can show us what you’re wearing when it happens.
How do I confirm the cost or ask about insurance?
Call (949) 650-1147 before booking. Tell us which visit or treatment you’re considering so the office can explain the fee and answer questions about payment or insurance for that service.
Professional foot care
Medical Pedicures
How is a Medical Pedicure different from a Spa Pedicure?
A Medical Pedicure starts with a foot and nail assessment and can include care for thick toenails, corns, and calluses. A Spa Pedicure focuses on grooming and relaxation, with options such as polish. See what a Medical Pedicure includes.
Who performs Medical Pedicures, and what do they cost?
Medical Pedicures are available with Dr. Ivar Roth or Dr. Elle. Pricing varies by provider and by the level of care you need. See current prices by provider or choose your provider when you book.
Should I book a Standard or Severe Medical Pedicure?
Standard is for mild to moderate nail thickening or callus buildup. Severe is for very thick toenails or extensive calluses. If you’re between the two, call (949) 650-1147 and we’ll help you choose.
Should I remove gel or polish before my Medical Pedicure?
Yes. Please arrive with your toenails free of gel and polish so your provider can examine them.
Find the right evaluation
Foot & nail care
What should I book for a painful callus that keeps coming back?
Start with a medical evaluation. Dr. Roth can examine the spot and discuss whether it may be an intractable plantar keratosis (IPK) or another condition. Read about IPK and painful callus care.
Can I book a consultation for suspected toenail fungus?
Yes. If your nails have changed color, thickened, or become brittle, you can book a toenail consultation to discuss what may be causing the changes and what options are appropriate. Explore toenail fungus care in Costa Mesa.
How do I find out if minimally invasive bunion surgery is an option?
Start with a bunion evaluation with Dr. Roth. He can review your symptoms and discuss your options, including whether a minimally invasive procedure may be appropriate for you. Learn about bunion evaluation and treatment.
