Dr Ledger was my dentist for over 30 years. I loved going to visit for a check up and talking about hunting. He was a great friend and was very proud of all his kids. I will miss him.

Ms. Barfield and Dr. Barfield's former staff offer our condolences for the passing of Dr. Leger. We had the pleasure of treating Dr. Leger's patients whom he referred for oral surgery for many years. His patients always spoke the kindest words about him when they would visit our office. He truly left a positive lasting impression on every individual in his path. Sending prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time.
