Compassionate, Family-Centered Pediatric Care in Costa Mesa
If you’re looking for a pediatrician who will truly know your child, you’ve come to the right place!
At Total Pediatrics of Orange County, every visit is the foundation of a lasting relationship. Our relationships with patients and their families are so close that we recognize your voice on the phone, remember your child’s story long after a visit, and celebrate every milestone right alongside you.
Our Story
Total Pediatrics was born out of love for this community. Dr. Leila Iravani began practicing in 2003 and opened her own private practice at Pacific Medical Plaza in Costa Mesa in 2009, starting with just three exam rooms and a deep commitment to personalized care. Word spread quickly. Parents would call around just to find out where she’d gone, because once they’d experienced her as their child’s pediatrician, they didn’t want anyone else.
The practice has grown steadily since then, now spanning nine exam rooms at a larger space within Pacific Medical Plaza, but the heart of it has never changed. Dr. Swati Gandhi, who brings over 24 years of pediatric experience, joined the practice in 2010, and together they’ve built a team and a culture that families feel the moment they walk in.
More Than a Doctor’s Office
We take pride in the relationships we build with families throughout Costa Mesa and the surrounding Orange County communities. Parents reach out to us for all kinds of questions, not just when their child is sick, because they feel comfortable enough to ask.
We remember our patients and the mark they’ve left on us, not just the care we’ve provided them. That mutual connection is what makes this practice special, and it’s something we work to protect every single day.
Comprehensive Care, From Birth to Young Adulthood
Our mission is to help every child reach their highest potential, physically and emotionally, by partnering with parents from birth through young adulthood. We handle everything from preventive care and well-child visits to the diagnosis and treatment of acute illnesses and chronic conditions. Whatever your child needs, we offer the same quality, compassionate, educational care at every single appointment.
What Sets Us Apart
We believe that an exceptional pediatric practice is built on three things: accessibility, understanding, and comfort. To make that real for your family, we offer convenient office hours, helpful patient resources, and an outstanding level of support from a staff that genuinely knows and cares about your child.
