Nothing showed up that was alarming, but I continued to experience mild shortness of breath and slight discomfort. Unsatisfied with continued standard tests results, Dr Legare ordered a cardio-cath where it was determined that my left main artery was close to 90% blocked. Apparently,… See more

I have been seeing Dr Legare well over 15 years, where I was his patient before him joining the concierge program. I was heart broken to learn that he was going to be part of it and what was I going to do. I tried seeing someone not part of that program and it took one visit for me to realize Dr Legare was a doctor who really knew me, knew how I ticked and was and is ALWAYS looking out for my… See more

from Joan in MA March 10, 2020 for Edward J. Legare, MD, FACP

Initially I questioned whether I would follow him to concierge medicine. Doing so was one of the best decisions I ever made. Recently he identified something needing follow up and intervention.

I appreciated his… See more

Dr Legare is the best.

He is always available by phone or e-mail and always extremely thorough in my exams. I could not be more pleased. If he could only hit a driver!!

I look forward to my appts with Dr Legare. The environment is filled with positive and professional energy and he and his staff bring a personal touch to each patient. What I enjoy the most is sitting down with Dr Legare and going over my health reports. He takes the time to go over them in great detail and offers good advice on how to improve the results for next appt.

Dr. Legare has cared for our whole family for 27 years. He cared for both my parents with kindness ,compassion, and gentleness until their passing.
He has encouraged me to take charge of my health and well being by directing me to a weight loss program that fit my needs. Now 2 years later I have lost 57 pound and have kept it off. This is a life style change I fully embrace. At 73 years… See more
