I've been seeing Dr. Last for years, since I was a teenager. I hadn't been to see him him for a number of years and just recently have used him for skin issues I noticed on my son. I had forgotten how positive an experience I had had with him. He was still warm and even humorous and his diagnosis was spot on. My son's skin cleared up so quickly. His staff was so friendly and easy to work with.

Dr. Last is just a great doctor. I've seen him regularly for most of my life, and he's cured multiple skin ailments for me. He's compassionate and caring, and always takes the time to listen to me completely before prescribing anything. I can't recommend him enough!

I have seen Dr. Last for 10+ years and I believe he is the best dermatologist in CT. He takes the necessary time to diagnosis and treat any/all conditions. He goes above and beyond for his patients! His staff members are all very polite and welcoming. Highly, highly recommend him

I am a long time patient of Dr Lasts. He has always given me and my family excellent care. Aside from being a very kind person, he takes time with all of us and in every has correctly diagnosed our skin problems. We have found his office staff extremely accommodating and pleasant.

Was able to get an appt rather quickly as most derm’tgists take months to get in. I received appropriate med care, but office staff treat patients like they’re a bother. I also had a very long wait each visit. I recently called to make another appt to get a Rx refill & was not nicely told “PLEASE HOLD”-guess they said please? There is no office without patients. There were also billing problems. I prefer to be treated with a bit more respect & will wait 4 months for an appt elsewhere.

this doctor is horrible! staff is rude and he has no bedside manner. I waited almost an hour for him to brush me off and offer me a sample of dove soap and Aveeno lotion! His name suits him well- since he is the LAST doctor I would ever see!!!

I have been struggling with a staph infection for 6 months--a diagnosis reached by 3 different doctors. Dr. Last looked at one of the infected areas for 2 seconds, refused to let me describe my symptoms or previous course of treatment, told me I was suffering from hay fever (which I have had in the past and can recognize myself, thanks) then gave me a prescription for glorified Benadryl. I broke down crying in the parking lot. See someone who actually cares about his patients.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Last?
This was my second negative experience, he walked in and basically berated me about not noticing his follow up mailings even before greeting. Then, I remembered why I did not come back. His arrogance, lack of bedside manner, he asked why, I wish I said, I remember why, you're condescending and unpleasant. His medical knowledge is marginal, at best. Should not be practicing.

He missed several areas during examination. He did not offer medicine needed for those areas therefore. He did not explain ramifications of areas he did find. He has the bedside manner of a troll. His office doesn't even have the courtesy to identify that one has reached a doctor's office when they answer the phone. They shut down for lunch instead of answering the phone by staggering lunch breaks among the staff. Just an all time miserable experience.
