I met Dr. Legare 20 years ago, and I have been going to him ever since. He always gives me great advice. He always has time to speak with me, and I never feel rushed. He gets me in anytime I need an appointment. I look forward to seeing him, and I feel good after my visit. I appreciate his "big picture" approach - he gets all the details to address the issue at hand.
I have never met a kinder or careing man. If he ever leaves I would never go anywhere else. He means everything to me and my family. There's no one out there who could come close to this great great man. I would do anything for this man and his family. God knows he made a good one|||||
There has never been a day when he has not been there with thoughtful advice whether it be re a back surgery, flu or other issues.

Dr. Legare is that rare professional who has the ability to make you feel like you are a personal friend, a member of his medical family. When I visit him he makes me feel that I have his full attention and that my health is the most important thing on his plate. For that thirty minutes or so I actually believe it's true, and I'm sure all of his other patients feel that way as well. Thankfully… See more
Thank you Dr. Legare! A doctor's visit can make me nervous; however, when I sit down in your office and share thoughts and concerns about both my mental and physical health you listen! Not only do you listen, but you engage me in a lively conversation based on science and facts. It becomes a fun exchange and my worries wash away. I always feel that you are on top of the latest, greatest… See more
Dr Ned Legare actually responded to an email when he was watching the Red Sox at Fenway Park. That's really impressive!!!
