ANCC Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner | USAF Veteran | Local Provider You Can Trust
Hello and welcome! I’m Kristina Christopher, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner proudly serving the Dunkirk, NY community. As a lifelong local community resident and a dedicated member of the U.S. Air Force—where I’ve had the honor of flying aeromedical evacuation missions and completing multiple overseas deployments—caring for others is not just my profession, it’s my calling.
Now, I’m beyond excited and incredibly honored to be opening my very own practice right here in Dunkirk. My goal is simple: to make high-quality healthcare accessible, affordable, and personal. Whether you're dealing with a long-term condition, seeking preventive care, or just not feeling like yourself—I want you to feel comfortable coming in, sitting down, and talking with me. Together, we’ll get to the bottom of your health concerns and build a plan that works for you.
At my practice, you’re not just a patient—you’re a neighbor, a friend, and a priority.

Kristina Christopher is a dedicated healthcare professional with deep roots in the Dunkirk community. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from D’Youville College and spent nine years working as a registered nurse at a Level One Trauma Center in Buffalo, gaining extensive experience in high-pressure emergency care. Driven to expand her impact, Kristina returned to D’Youville to complete her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

Now, as an ANCC board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and U.S. Air Force veteran, Kristina combines her clinical expertise with her passion for community health to provide compassionate, comprehensive care to her patients.
Kristina is a big animal lover! She and her husband Matthew share their home with five dogs—three of which she rescued. And let’s not forget Thelma and Louise, the goats, and JD, the horse. When she’s not caring for patients, Kristina enjoys cooking and baking, spending time with friends, camping, and exploring the outdoors riding their side-by-side vehicles and snowmobiles—fully embracing the joys of country living.
