Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

There is nobody I would trust more with my care than Dr Legare. My concerns are always addressed fully and my mind always put at ease with facts and advice that relate directly to my individual needs/circumstances. He's thorough, responsive, positive, and helpful. I wish everyone could have a Dr as great as this!

Dr. Legare is a superb physician in every sense of the word. He is not only very knowledgeable about state-of-the-srts medical research and development, but also extremely attentive to the needs of the patient. Impeccable bedside manner. Extreme and genuine caring for the welfare of his patients. My husband and I are very fortunate to be in his care.

Dr Legare is ‘one in a million’ as far as human beings and physicians are concerned. I can’t imagine anyone better in every respect…medically, personally, professionally and in every respect. I am stretching my annual budget to be a MD-VIP member but for the l medical and professional and personal help from Dr Legare it is worth every penny.
Please contact me anytime for an endorsement.

Dr. Ned Legare is the absolute best. One of the luckiest things in my life was to find him, about 20 years ago. He has saved my life at least once.

My husband and I joined Dr. Legare’s practice many years ago, and we have always felt fortunate to have such a compassionate and caring physician who never leaves a stone unturned. He truly is the best.
This year, our trust in him was reaffirmed. In January 2024, I had my annual mammogram, which was normal. However, during my yearly physical in March, Dr. Legare discovered a lump during the breast exam and promptly ordered a follow-up ultrasound. I was convinced it couldn’t be anything serious, so I was shocked to learn that it was breast cancer.
I underwent a lumpectomy and radiation this fall, and I’m happy to say that I am currently doing very well. I owe this to Dr. Legare’s expertise, persistence, and dedication. His thorough breast exam may have saved my life; otherwise, I would have waited until January 2025 for my next mammogram, and I fear the outcome would have been very different.
I am very grateful I have a compassionate caring doctor, who is simply one of the best!

Dr. Legare is by far the BEST physician I have ever had. He makes himself available 24/7/365 and responds immediately to any questions and concerns. Not only does he address my immediate concerns but he follows up to see if progress has been made. Thank you once again!

Dr. Legare is everything you want in a personal physician. His medical knowledge is encyclopedic, and he has the ability to cite the most recent research on a condition. He is thorough, empathetic and his staff provides great support.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Legare for 23 years and my husband for 26 years. I can not believe the level of care that we get from him. He is the nicest person you will ever meet and an amazing dr. He will always get back to you when you email or call and try to help however he can. He has become someone I can trust. He doesn’t make coming to the dr a scary or an experience you dread because he makes you feel so comfortable. He really is the best dr around and so thankful for his care the last 23 years.

Dr Legare has been my dr for 25 years. In that 25 years I’ve only known him to be the most caring, concerned, and insanely thorough Dr in the world. I had switched to his care after my first Dr left and I knew I wanted him as my Dr as he was already my husband’s Dr. Luckily even though his practice was closed, he still accepted me. I have nothing but so much respect for Dr. Legare. He literally Read more...

LISTENING to patient.

I had a knee replacement surgery a couple of years ago. After a couple of weeks my knee started getting red and throbbing. I visited my surgeon a few times to determine the cause. I knew it was an infection, but he kept sending me home and telling me to raise my leg and put ice packs on it .Only when I emailed my primary care and went into a sepsis infection shock, that my surgeon paid Read more...

I have been with him for years....decades... and in that time he has stuck with me as a cancer survivor patient and a triple bypass and aortic valve patient... He has supported me as I have Read more...
