Dino S. Colombo, DDS

Shinnston, WV

Hello, I am Christopher K. Pagano. I graduated from West Virginia University School of Dentistry in 1998. I have been practicing in Shinnston since September 1998. My associate is Dino S. Colombo. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1963.

Our office is located at 407 South Pike Street, Shinnston, WV and the phone number is (304)592-0600. The office is in a rural, small town with a population of approximately 5,000. We have 4 operatories with 4 Maris units, sit down, approximately 6-8 years old. There are 3 radiographic units, parallel-long cone technique and 1 panorex unit. We have 2 assistants, an office manager, and a hygienist. We practice four-handed, sit-down dentistry. Due to the general economics of the area, oral surgery is 30% of our practice. We work a 5 day week and can accommodate left-handed students.

Shinnston is a rural coal mining community of approximately 5,000 people. There are many churches, 1 grocery store and a high school. 50% of our patients are from rural areas. There is 1 part-time general dentist in this area.

Our philosophy of practice is to strive to produce quality dentistry while treating the patient with the utmost respect.

To reach our office, take I-79 South to Exit 121 (Meadowbrook Mall). Go to the end of the ramp and turn right. Approximately 5 miles, Meadowbrook Road intersects with I-19. Turn right and stay on Rt 19 until you come to a car wash on the left. The next shopping center is our office, across from the Shop & Save. The distance is 40 miles and should take about 45 minutes.
