Aron Legler, MD
Anesthesiologist & Pain Management Physician
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Anesthesiologist
I am an anesthesiologist who is board certified in both anesthesiology and pain management. I have a strong interest and focus on treating pain that may arise from cancer and its treatments.

I was drawn to this field over the course of my medical training as I witnessed the difficulty faced by many patients as they struggled with pain. I learned that there are tools we can offer patients to control their pain, and I knew I wanted to be involved in this work.
The interventions I use provide individualized and effective pain management. These include ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and CT-guided imaging. I also utilize approaches such as radiofrequency, cryoablation, chemical ablation, and stimulation techniques. I am a strong believer in employing the latest evidence-based research in my practice because many of these newer technologies offer great promise for our patients.
In addition to my work treating cancer pain, I spend half of my clinical time in the operating rooms as an anesthesiologist. I also instruct and mentor junior doctors who are undergoing specialty training in the areas of anesthesia and pain management.
An anesthesiologist (a-nes-THEE-zee-AH-loh-jist) is a doctor with special training in medication to make you sleep during your surgery or procedure. They monitor your vital signs while you’re asleep.
A pain management doctor has special training in diagnosing and treating pain.
