Dr. Gail Weingast’s path to her current position certainly hasn’t always been a perfectly straight line. In fact, at first. It wasn’t even apparent she would end up in a medical career.

Soon after that, she got the idea to enter medical school, though, because she received her M.D. from the Boston University School of Medicine officially became Dr. Gail Weingast in 1976. Even though it hasn’t been a straight line, she values all of it, since all of her experiences contributed to making her the doctor she s today.

Dr. Weingast competed those training programs under the auspices of Colorado General Hospital in Denver, before switching to St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver, to complete her post-graduate studies as a radiologist between 1983 and 1984. She then began practicing at several hospitals in Colorado and New York, before landing in her current position as a highly regarded radiology specialist at William W.
