Such a rude person. Threw a hissy fit about one of the meds I was taking and then wrote an RX anyway. When I spoke to my pharmacist about this, Dr. Lessard's "facts" were all skewed. After putting up with his rudeness for two appointments, I went elsewhere and am very happy.

Dr. Lessarde correctly diagnosed and treated my RA after many doctors had failed. He is the only rheum. in GF, so it can take up to 6 months for a new patient visit, which is very unfortunate. Once you get in, he will spare no time figuring out how to diagnose or treat your issue. Dr. Lessarde has a quirky sense of humor, which I think can sometimes be misunderstood as rude; some of my friends know him and do not like him. To tell you the truth, he is competent, so that is really what matters in RA since there are so many who are not:)

Rude, impatient man with a temper. Asks many questions but doesn't listen to patient. Actually said he was doing ME a favor be seeing me. Less than one star for bedside manner. From what I heard from nurses and other staff is that is how he is. I'm going to Fargo from now on.

Dr. Lessard is GREAT!!! I've been given over 12 different kinds of medications, numerous procedures and sent to dozens of so called specialists for over 1 1/2 years now. Dr. Lessard is the first doctor that has taken his time, explained everything, what's gonna happen next and actually diagnosed me. The medicines he gave me are EXCELLENT. They ease my pains, don't make me groggy, don't make me extra tired in the morning. I am so thankful for having Dr Lessard as my specialist. I take care of my 4 year old grandson and life has been more joyful to live since he's been my doctor. THANK YOU, Dr. Lessard!!!!!!!
