Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Edward J. Legare, MD, FACP

The Doc that cares and takes that extra step!

from Mark in MA • January 19, 2024
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 kept Read more...

"One in a Million"

Simply put Dr. Legare is "One in a Million." You won't find a better doctor anywhere and I feel extremely fortunate to have him. He has made my life better in so many ways, I couldn't imagine having anyone else as a doctor! He is the best of the best!!!

Doctor Legare's Great Review

from ROBERT in MA • March 16, 2020
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.

Dr. Edward Lagere

from John in MA • March 15, 2020
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|||||
