Dr. Laurent graduated from the University of Virginia Medical School with honors. He was one of only 5 students in his class to be elected into the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society as a third-year student.
After completion of a general surgery internship, Dr. Laurent was trained in neurosurgery at the University of Virginia. During his training, he was involved in research on the use of spinal biologic agents to achieve fusion through percutaneous delivery systems. As a resident, he developed his initial interest in minimally invasive spinal techniques and assisted on the first surgeries of this type performed at the University. During this time, he spent a year as a fellow at Auckland Hospital in New Zealand. After completing his residency he then went on to spend a year as an instructor/fellow at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Medical Center. During this year, he was awarded the Congress of Neurological Surgery Spine Fellow award.
Following fellowship, Dr. Laurent joined Neurosurgical Specialists Inc. in Norfolk, VA. He remains active in teaching courses in minimally invasive techniques and new product development and clinical trials.
Had a telemed appointment that went well. Appointment was informative and gave me clear direction regarding future follow-up appointments.
Very professional and answered all questions
He was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. He explained my MRIs and what steps to take next. I am very pleased with my visit.
Satisfied with treatment explanation
Explained everything about the surgery made us feel very comfortable. he is very nice and his nurses are very nice and they all make you feel very comfortable
After waiting a few months for this appointment which was scheduled for 8:15 AM with an arrival time of 7:45 AM, I was informed at 8:45 while sitting in the exam area that the doctor had just texted in with an emergency. I realize things like this happen but an earlier text (knowing that he had an early appointment, would have been nice. The next scheduled appointment that I could be given was for October 28. I cannot do that date due to having surgery, so then I was offered November 1. I would only hope that his emergency wasn't too crucial and perhaps next time, he could call the office sooner.. It's hard to give a rating under these circumstances.
Excellent
EXCELLENT!!! Doctor and Surgeon. Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing a back doctor or surgeon!!!!
Given what I know about him thus far, from friends and limited personal experience , I feel safe and confident in his ability as my doctor. Couldn't ask for more from my perspective.
Always relaxed, confident, well-prepared, answers questions clearly, and offers alternatives.
