Kirsten Wiitala, MD
Santa Monica
Doctor of Medicine, a common medical school degree for physicians. MDs at One Medical typically specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics or pediatrics.
I’m a midwest transplant who has found a home in California. I practice comprehensive family medicine and like to approach health from a whole body perspective, incorporating the mind and the body. In my free time, I’m working on completing an integrative medicine fellowship, a roots up approach to health focusing on nutrition and lifestyle using herbs, supplements, and medications as needed. I believe good health care needs to be a collaboration between specialities and alternative practitioners. I’m interested in women's health, thyroid issues, sleep, mental health, and gut health.
How I stay healthy and happy
My hobbies include cooking, travel, spending time at the beach, paddle boarding, and hiking with my dog. I also enjoy volunteering with the under-severed communities both locally and internationally.
