Dr. Christopher Duplaga is a Vanderbilt-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon, born and raised in Wheeling. He graduated from Marshall University in Huntington before completing four years of dental school at West Virginia University in 2019. After receiving his Doctorate of Dental Surgery, he completed his residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
Dr. Duplaga’s career decision began at a young age with the hopes and dreams of becoming an oral surgeon. He moved out of West Virginia for the first time to pursue his specialty training at Vanderbilt, where he trained extensively in the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
With the “Wheeling feeling” on their mind, Dr. Duplaga and his family moved back to their hometown to use his specialty skills to improve each patient’s quality of life.
