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.

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.

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.
