Testimonials from patients of Dr. Legare

from J in MA March 30, 2024 for Edward J. Legare, MD, FACP

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… See more

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… See more

Dr Legare has always been there for me as a support system to make sure my health is up to par. As well as an emotional coach. We've enjoyed a long relationship where I can speak my mind in confidence. Knowing he will give me his most honest opinion, no matter if it's not what I want to hear.
He keeps it real and in perspective. Ned's been a great friend as well as… See more

I've known Ned since before he went concierge... He was not taking any new patients and I needed a doctor. I sent him a Top 10 Reasons You Need Me as a Patient letter and in a week, he let me in.. 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… See more

My husband and I have been in the care of Dr Legare for many years.
Not only does he have vast knowledge and expertise in the most cutting edge developments in medicine, but also his bedside manner and level of personal care are unmatched by any other.

In summary, I believe my husband and I have a great chance of living a long, happy, and healthy life in Dr. Legare’s care.

from Mark in MA January 19, 2024 for Edward J. Legare, MD, FACP

Two years ago I called Dr. Legare (actually my wife called), stating I was experiencing an intestinal blockage. I had that experience 4 years prior which resulted in surgery.
Dr. Legare suggested I visit the hospital (Newton-Wellesley) to be admitted and checked out. I fear hospitals and certainly intestinal surgery :(
While I was in good hands with the hospital team, Dr. Legare… See more
