Pediatrician Gail Lopreste Returns to North End Waterfront Health

North End Waterfront Health welcomes pediatrician Gail LoPreste, MD, back to the health center as the director of the Pediatrics Department. LoPreste had practiced at the health center from 2000 to 2007.

Dr. LoPreste is a board-certified pediatrician with more than 20 years experience. She received her medical degree from Tufts University and completed her residency at Massachusetts General Hospital.

“I feel right at home working at a Mass General-affiliated health center because I was trained at the hospital,” she said. “I am very familiar with how things work on the main campus and that knowledge helps me provide the best care for my patients.”

Dr. LoPreste joins family medicine physicians Elizabeth Turnock, MD, and Martha McLoughlin, MD, and Meghan Curran, family nurse practitioner, as part of the pediatric provider team.

Dr. LoPreste says she is thrilled to once again work in the North End and be a part of the community.

“I really like the close-knit neighborhood feel that the North End has,” she says. “It’s nice to walk around and see families enjoying time together. There’s so much comradery among residents and that’s what makes this community special.”

When she’s not in the North End, Dr. LoPreste enjoys cooking, biking, and kayaking. She is currently seeing patients on Mondays, Tuesdays (including evenings), Wednesdays, and Fridays. Call 617-643-8000 to schedule an appointment.
