Christine Jurychuk - Patient Coordinator

Christine Jurychuk's journey into the dental world wasn't planned; it was a chance opportunity that turned into a perfect fit. With a background in Film & Business, which she completed in 2017, Christine brings creativity, efficiency, and a big heart to the front desk at Prosthodontic Associates.

With five years of experience in the dental field, she's become an indispensable part of our patient care team. Whether she's welcoming patients with her signature smile or keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, Christine's energy is contagious. When asked how she feels about working at PA, she simply gives two thumbs up and a smile, saying,

"I couldn't have scripted a better place to work—every day here is a feel-good scene."

Outside the clinic, Christine stays active with weight lifting, ultimate frisbee, and biking—and when it's time to unwind, she's likely watching (or rewatching) her favorite films as the true movie buff she is.
