Get to Know Dr. Kirsten Sampera
Dr. Kirsten Sampera has been with The Youth Clinic since 2007 and has been working in pediatric healthcare since 2004. Dr. Sampera attended St. Olaf College in Northfield Minnesota for her undergraduate studies, and received her Medical Degree from Mayo Medical School. She then moved to Los Angeles and completed her pediatric residency training at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA.
Prior to joining The Youth Clinic, Dr. Sampera was the Medical Director of the Medical Home Project at UCLA. Dr. Sampera is Board Certified and a fellow of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine.
In October 2023 Dr. Kirsten Sampera completed her Integrative Health and Medicine fellowship and is excited to offer integrative medicine consultations at The Youth Clinic. Her approach blends evidence-based practices with holistic care, addressing psychosocial and emotional factors that can impact physical health.
She welcomes patients who are interested in natural or holistic approaches, those motivated for change, or individuals not responding to conventional treatments, particularly in areas such as sleep and digestive health. Dr. Sampera emphasizes a collaborative, transparent, and adaptable approach, viewing integrative medicine as a shared learning journey between provider and patient.
When she isn’t caring for patients, Dr. Sampera can be found walking, hiking, snowshoeing, camping, reading, writing, cooking, or doing yoga. She is passionate about the power of mindfulness practices, nutrition, and movement. Dr. Sampera loves partnering with her patients and their families to achieve their health goals through relationship and collaboration.
“We love the Youth Clinic. All of our children go here and have had great experiences. We see Dr. Sampera, and she is very compassionate, relatable, and supportive of our parenting decisions. We’re happy to have found a doctor and office that meets our family’s needs.”
