I have been a patient of Dr Legare for 4 years ~ being treated for Multiple Myeloma and doing marvelous !! Dr Legare is extremely knowledgeable in his specialty, conservative in his approach to treatment and puts patients at ease. I have never felt rushed in any of my appointments, he welcomes questions and returns patient phone calls promptly. He knows these are trying times for his patients ~ simply put: the man cares about his patients ~ he gets it ~ it shows. I have recommended him to friends and would not hesitate to send my wife or children to Dr Legare.

Dr. Legare has treated me for breast cancer and ovarian cancer. He takes a conservative approach during treatment, a good thing when dealing with a life threatening illness. He explains everything thoroughly and has never rushed through an appointment. He cares about his patients and will always follow through no matter the issue..I have the deepest respect for Dr. Legare and feel very lucky to have him as my Oncologist. I am doing great 2 years post treatment.
