The Excellent Reputation of Radiologist Dr. Gail Weingast

It is clear the path to Dr. Gail Weingast’s current position at the top of the medical profession in radiology was unplanned, at least at the beginning. Her education, for ewxample, started when futures Dr. Gail Weingast attended Jackson College at Tufts University in Massachusetts and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. Obviously, medicine wasn’t a calling at first, but something inside her switched on soon, since she earned her medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine in 1976, which is where she officially became Dr. Gail Weingast MD.

As usual for doctors, that was just the start of her medical education. Dr. Gail Weingast went on to complete a pediatrics internship in 1976-1977, a residency in pediatrics in 1978 and a radiology residency in 1980-1983, all at Colorado General Hospital in Denver. Through that hospital, she also completed a fellowship in ultrasound in 1983. Dr. Weingast then moved over to St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver, to complete her post-graduate radiology studies in 1983-1984.

Following her education, Dr. Gail Weingast practiced at several hospitals in Colorado and also New York, before landing at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut. more than two decades ago. She must have liked the fit because she is still there, working hard as a noted radiology specialist. Over the years, she has developed a strong reputation. She is the Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging, but that’s just a title. In reality, Dr. Weingast has managed to guide her department into its current position as a premiere medical facility. Since she now has more than four decades in medicine, it is clear her knowledge and experience has led her there.
