Looking for a medical pedicure in Long Beach? At Kim Holistic Foot & Ankle Center, our team provides professional foot and nail care in a clinical setting, with instruments cleaned and disinfected after every patient — not a cosmetic spa treatment — with trained eyes watching for problems. We’ve cared for Long Beach feet for more than 35 years. Call (562) 426-2551 or book an appointment online.
A medical pedicure — sometimes called a “medi-pedi” — focuses on the health of your feet and nails rather than polish and appearance. Performed in a podiatry office, it typically includes:
Every visit starts with a look at your overall foot health. Because our team is trained to spot problems early, a routine nail-care visit is also a chance to catch issues before they grow — from a nail that’s starting to turn in to an early skin or nail infection. If we find something that needs treatment, we’ll explain your options clearly.
A salon pedicure is cosmetic; a medical pedicure is clinical. The key differences: instruments cleaned and disinfected after every patient; care performed by one of our podiatrists; and a podiatrist’s eye for fungal nails, ingrown nails, and skin changes. That makes it a safer choice — especially if you have diabetes, thick or fungal nails, reduced circulation, or simply can’t comfortably reach your own feet.
A medical pedicure is $200 for new patients and $150 for existing patients. That covers the medical pedicure itself; if we find something that needs separate treatment, we’ll explain it and what it costs before doing anything.
Most visits take about 20 to 30 minutes, though we’ll take longer if your feet need it — heavy callus buildup takes more time. A podiatrist (DPM) performs the medical pedicure itself at every visit, not only the examination.
We’re located at 701 E 28th St #111, Long Beach, CA 90806 — serving Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, Carson, and surrounding communities. Office hours: Mon 9:00 AM–12:30 PM & 2:00–5:30 PM; Tue–Wed 9:15 AM–12:30 PM & 2:00–5:30 PM; Thu 9:15 AM–12:30 PM & 2:30–5:30 PM. Closed Fridays and weekends.
It’s professional foot and nail care performed in a clinical setting by a podiatrist, with instruments cleaned and disinfected after every patient — nail trimming, callus and corn reduction, and a check for problems — focused on foot health rather than a cosmetic spa service.
A medical pedicure uses instruments cleaned and disinfected after every patient and is performed by one of our podiatrists, who can spot issues like fungal nails, ingrown nails, or skin changes. It’s a safer choice, especially if you have diabetes or thick nails.
Professional, careful nail and callus care is generally safer for people with diabetes than doing it at home or at a salon, because small injuries can become serious. We take extra care with at-risk feet.
We can assess them and talk through your options. See our toenail fungus and ingrown toenail pages for how we treat those specifically.
You book it like any other podiatry visit — call (562) 426-2551 or request an appointment online. No referral is needed to book with us; some insurance plans require one for coverage, so check with your plan. Let the front desk know the visit is for routine nail and callus care so the right amount of time is set aside. If you have diabetes, neuropathy, or circulation problems, please mention it when you book so we can take the extra precautions those feet need.
In the United States, the licensed title is podiatrist — a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), who completes podiatric medical school and at least three years of hospital-based residency training and is licensed to diagnose and treat conditions of the foot and ankle. “Podologist” is a term used in some other countries for a foot-care practitioner; the training and scope behind it vary by country, and it is not a United States medical license. Your visit at our Long Beach office is with a licensed DPM.
Not a cosmetic one. There is no polish, paraffin, or spa add-on. What we provide is the clinical part of foot care, performed in a clinical setting: nail trimming and thinning, callus and corn reduction, and an exam of the skin and nails by our podiatrist.
A nail-care visit is not a treatment for a fungal infection. What it can do is reduce the thickness of an affected nail and get that nail properly assessed, which matters because many thick, discolored nails turn out not to be fungal — an injury, psoriasis, or another condition can look the same. If testing confirms a fungal infection, we will go over treatment options with you separately. Learn more about toenail fungus treatment in Long Beach.
$200 for new patients and $150 for existing patients, for the medical pedicure itself. Any additional treatment is discussed and priced separately. Most visits take about 20 to 30 minutes, though feet with a lot of callus buildup can take longer.
Instruments are cleaned with a medical-grade germicide after every patient, and they are processed in an autoclave weekly. If you’d like the details of our full cleaning and sterilization process, ask us at your visit or call (562) 426-2551.
