Jeffrey J. Laurent, MD

Dr. Laurent has a calm demeanor and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns very well. I am confident in receiving excellent care. .

Dr. Laurent came highly recommended by my PCP and Brother.

Tremendous Doctor. Took time to thoroughly explain the considerations and my MRI results. I was extremely please.

Very nice and informative in plain english

He never told me what was wrong and never even touched the knot on my spine. Just said PT is what he wants me to do

Very professional and thorough

Dr. Laurent was very personable. Answered my questions. Didn't rush me out. I would go back to him if I needed too. I also recommend him to my friends. He's very professional and an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Laurent is a knowledgeable surgeon however my surgery was not successful and the results were less than desirable and I have no relief from the pain. Very disappointing!!

Very nice and awAre of my problems

Very appreciative of time, patience, and understanding while explaining thoroughly my diagnosis, findings, and surgical recommendations! Dr. Laurent is very pleasant and professional!

I was very impressed. Dr. Laurent diagnosed my issue is less than an hour.

All questions answered and I left feeling in good hands

Down to earth square shooter. He definitely fits in the excellence I have found at Jordan Young.

Kind, professional, knowledgeable

Very positive gives me hope

Very upstanding doctor. Thanks Dennis

Twice I have been impressed how Dr. Laurent has been quickly able to pinpoint the problem with my back while others have been unable todo so.

Dr. Laurent made me feel very comfortable.

Friendly, described what the problem is and what has to be done to try to fix the problem..

Received great news! First appointment with Dr. Laurent. He seemed to be really nice!

He knows what is needed and won’t settle for less. He is very direct and to the point while remaining very pleasant.

Excellent understandable advice.

It was a very brief interaction. Did not give me any feedback on the MRI, which there were significant verbiage from the radiologist. Left with more questions than I came with. Was very surprised.

He listened to my concerns and symptoms I’ve had way too long

Our first meeting went well!

He’s an amazing person that truly cares and it shows through the patience he brings into the room. He’s a human being and not a robot. I love him for that alone.

It took 4 months to get see him but I finally got my surgery scheduled. I had an MRI done on 1/23/24 and I could not see him until 5/13/24. His office made me go see Dr. Crowell first and his first appointment was not until 3/22/24. I went through 4 1/2 months of severe back spasms before I got to see Dr. Laurent.

Love the quick answers and professionalism.

I think what has most impressed me about Dr. Laurent now that I've had two surgeries with him is that though he had to open a lot of the same area twice, it still has full feeling. Not that I wasn't already convinced that he is amazing, from the last time around!

He didn't spend as much time with me as I would like and I left with alot of questions unasked..

Well run office. Everyone on the same page. Caring doctor who cares for positive results.

Met with Dr Laurenr. Seemed to be very confident

Dr Laurent is very knowledgeable and well explains his recommendations.

Dr. Laurent listened to my description of my symptoms, offered an honest assessment of current and future options, and provided an honest and forthright recommendation on how to proceed. .

I’ve been trying to get a doctor to confirm this for years. I’ve dealt with this pain for over 7 years and thank god I went to Dr. Laurent. He had a plan ready before he even walked in the room, confirmed my concerns, and recognized that I actually have an issue with my spine. Thank you.

Professional, gives a realistic viewpoint of patient condition and plan to rectify in a logical manner.

Great doctor. Very personable. Very smart. I like him

Better than expected for a phone call but a poor substitute for a face-to-face consult. Productive but the inability to experience each others nonverbal communication is a major loss. 50 to 70% of communication is nonverbal!

He's a good listener. Doesn't push surgery if not necessary. Gives good honest feedback.

Up front, easy to understand, some concern about not having a plan of action.

I appreciate his honesty & for taking me on tine

He is honest and straight forward.

Very skilled and personable. Great bedside manner, explains it all.

Always has my Back…!

Great doctor would use him again if needed and have referred him to friends that needed a surgery

Dr Laurent and his team were on top of my medical needs. Had back surgery L4/L5 on 9/12/23, and could not be happier. His listen to my concerns he the best professional in his field.

Good doctor

Having a laminectomy through Dr. Laurent and his staff was the best decision I've made in a long time. Instant relief! Thanks Team!

First class!

My care has been superb.

Professional. Friendly. Informative. Answered all my questions. Clarified some misconceptions I had.at that time.

Explained process and what to expect going forward.

When I met Dr. Laurent for the first time, I'd liked his aura. He's about to do my back surgery. My surgeon was not able so he'd asked his colleague to perform it. I prayed for a kind doctor with good bedside manners and he seems to fit the bill. Very pleasant man. And feels like he has a caring spirit. I will come back after surgery and give a fellow-up review.

Doctor Laurent answered all my questions and explained in a way that was easy to understand.

he was amazing - explained all throughly

Dr. Laurent was patient with my questions and provided information to make a base decision with. All in understandable terms.

Very thorough, thoughtful and understanding. Gave alternative solutions. Outstanding physician.

Really good physician

GREAT

I was very impressed with his professional mannerism.

Explained procedures in detail.

Just an amazing experience visiting with Dr. Laurent. Very impressive guy. Recalled everything about my mri just from looking at it and then coming to see me. I’m a bit surprised that I haven’t heard from Amanda yet for scheduling my surgery. I’m eager to get started and have the utmost confidence in Dr. Laurent.

Excellent surgeon with excellent follow-up.

Loved that he went straight to the point in a friendly and informative manner. Hopefully I will have no problems in the future but if I do I definitely know who to call.

very willing to check all and answer all concerns

Excellent Surgeon

Professional, compassionate, honest!

Great visit. Great advice

Very straightforward and informative decided to schedule with him instead of another.

Pleased with his direct conversation and the analysis of my issues.

Listened to me and advised me on how to help myself, and with the help of an injection, how to minimize the pain.

Great surgeon, my trust in him is by far 100%. Does a very through job evaluating my condition and I know he can fix my problem. Thank you.

He's very informative, and I love the way His staff wanted to Help.

Explained the surgical procedure that could best alleviate the pain in my lower left back.

Thorough and explained things

Great neuro surgeon, Wouldn't want anyone else working on my back.

This was my 1st time seeing Dr. Laurent and I was very pleased with his demeanor and I can certainly appreciate his decision on my diagnosis. I look forward to seeing him on my next visit to address another issue and I'm confident he'll advise me of the absolute best option for a resolution.

Very nice, personable and informative doctor. His personality really put me at ease.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I have multiple issues and they only would address one. I’d have to make another appointment for the other issues. My appointment lasted 5-6 minutes so it didn’t make sense why we couldn’t address more issues instead I have to pay another $60. Healthcare is SO expensive when you are in pain or sick and it’s not right. Doctors have money. The people who go to the doctors aren’t rich and could barely afford the appointment. But he was nice and knowledgeable.

I had a good appointment with Dr. Laurent about a plan of treatment for both areas of my spine to address the sequence and recovery periods.

Very personable, impressive bio, significant recommendations from former patients.

Amazing Doctor his skill as a surgeon made my cervical spine surgery a painless and successful operation. Highly recommend he and his staff!

very professional, very knowledgable

Very nice, to the time to explain & show me my scans

I love this Doctor. He is a great surgeon, and, he is very personable. He fused my lumbar from L2 to S1, and all of my symptoms have been cured.

He was well prepared for my visit and gave me good options for my future care.

Very attentive. Good listener. Honest about possible treatment.

He took the time to explain all options with alot of patience

Dr. Laurent was personable and professional. He really listened to my concerns, and addressed them to my complete satisfaction. His assistant was also phenomenal!

Doctor was great. I was just disappointed that there was nothing he could do for me. He has referred me to another doctor in the practice and hopefully he will be able to help. I got a very quick appointment with the new doctor.

Professional, skillful, caring and in tune with patient needs

Was referred by my PCP and I am thrilled! Dr. Laurent took time to explain my situation, answered my questions, and we now have a path moving forward. The entire staff is so friendly! Highly recommend!

He covered all bases, made sure I understood what choices I could make to possible help my back. And made sure I understood that both were considered an operation. I was very pleased that he explained everything.

Dr. Laurent was great in helping me to understand what is causing my pain.

Dr. Laurent was very professional and personable. He took his time and explained the diagnosis to me in terms I could understand. I’ll definitely continue to see him as needs arise. Top notch as was the staff!

Was expecting a little more information on my injury. 3 minutes with the doctor tops.

Very professional and took the time to go over everything with me. Highly recommended.

Great Doctor !!

Dr. Laurent was amazing. He explained my options and what to expect. He listened to me and my issues. I am so glad that I was referred to him because he was a true professional with great bedside manners.

Very caring and concerned for patients safety One suggestion see surgical patient in person the day after surgery or within the week following.

Great Doctor and very helpful. He is very knowledgeable and cares for his patients.

Very reasonable, impressive decision maker. A very efficient office staff also.

Had serious spine issue that was quickly addressed in order to correct it. He explained what needed to be done and answered all questions for the surgery which was scheduled immediately.

Prepared an d knowledgeable

Good bedside manner. Excellent on explaining what the problem is and how it will be taken care of. I would recommend him without doubt.

Honest, friendly and very informative

Very polite and knew about my history. Wouldn’t want anyone else to operate on my back except maybe his PA Sean!

Excellent doctor! Always takes the time to listen to your issues.

Makes you feel very comfortable with your medical decisions

First class surgeon. Answers any questions with thorough explanations.

Professional To the point Takes the necessary time to answer your questions.

Successful surgury

This was my first appointment with Dr. Laurent. I’ve seen Dr. Vincent for a while and he recommended Dr. Vincent. I barely sat down in the reception area when a pleasant young lady called me back. I told him what was going on and we discussed surgery. He explained it in great detail. I then met with his surgical coordinator and she sat up my surgery date and gave me pertinent information. I was in and out in less than 40!minutes.

Dr Laurent, did my major back surgery last May. At age 75, I was hesitant to do this at my age. He's a wonderful surgeon, couldn't be happier with him. He always makes you feel so comfortable. He displays very good bedside manner. Joy 🤗

Outstanding service, very concise and detailed.

He was in hurry.

Had my best interest at heart during surgery.

Dr. Laurent is very good, I am told my surgery went very well, however my post operative care for pain management has been nothing short of abysmal.

Thanks for being honest with my issues. Not sure what decision I will make but I definitely keep in mind.

Excellent doctor, very personable

Very professional and kind

Best Dr. ever. I feel like a new man.

Informative and trusting

Excellent doctor,

Surgery went just as planned, maybe even better. However, we always feel rushed during an office visit. During the last visit he walked out while I was talking.

Honest, straightforward, explained my lumbar issue as we viewed x-rays together with easily understood vocabulary. Laid out options. Left final decision up to me. NO pressure.

Very polite & professional & answered my questions

The post-op X-ray showed a lumbar and set of si joints that could be framed as perfect examples of a successful surgery.

I felt he had reviewed all tests and info before my appointment, he asked pertinent questions, listened to my responses and discussed my questions and thoughts.

Best Neurosurgeon in Hampton Roads

Always kind, patient, and explains things to make me feel comfortable with my situation.

Good to me

Excellent and caring doctor Laurent and staff. .

Listens and solves my problems

Very informative in suggesting the next step we need to do to ease my pain. Never talked over my head and explained the details and answered my questions no problem. Thank you Dr Laurent!!

I've been coming to Dr. Laurent for several years. He's always very pleasant and doesn't push surgery. He looks for other ways to help at first. I recommend Dr. Laurent and Sean Wren, his PA.

Excellent surgeon with a caring team. Results were as expected.

Incredible surgeon! Had three discs in my upper neck fused.. no noticeable scar from incision and near full range of motion. Pressure on nerves was relieved and I’m feeling better every day.

Eveything was great. Only problem was after the appointment I’ve been trying to call his scheduler to schedule my surgery and I can’t get a call back. I’ve called 3 days in a row. I really need to know the date for sure so I can speak with my employer

As always, Dr. Laurent was highly professional and personable. I’m so impressed by everything he says and does, that I recently referred a friend his way. Couldn’t ask for a more compassionate and caring neurosurgeon. Thanks for all that you do for this old lady

Dr. Laurent took the time with my mom and knew what the problem was. Recommended her to see a another doctor at Jordan Young for treatment. Very professional.

After I had been seen by several different doctors, Dr. Laurent is the first one to actually figure out what's wrong with me - in one visit. He didn't try to extend my visits; instead he is sending me to someone who can actually help me.

Easy to talk to and accommodating to my needs. Thank you

Learned something I did not know from previous MD.'s very attentive and straight forward.

DR. LAURENT IS A TRUE GIFT TO THE PROFESSION.HE IS KIND AND SYMPATHETHIC TO THE THE PATIENT'S PROBLEMS BUT TELLS YOU LIKE IT IS. KUDOS DR. LAURENT!

Honest, caring and a low key doctor. Just a down to earth guy who is very well know and respected

I am so pleased that my GP arranged my visits with Dr. Laurent. He is wonderful. He helped me to heal without surgery which I really appreciate.

Took time to explain all options and post op expectations.

I have met with Dr. Laurent one time. He was very through, honest and up-front about the procedure that I am facing. I have the greatest confidence in him, thus far...

Clear and honest

Very nice and respectful!! Took time with me to answer my question.

Wow so excellent!

The best Back Dr. a person can have. He explained everything to me & answered all my questions & he was very professional.

Awesome!! Very easy to talk to and he had no problem explaining things to us. Thanks doc!!

Dr. Laurent is an outstanding surgeon. I've had 2 cerical fusions within 13 years. Age not poor skills were the reason. He has a great bedside manner, listening and looking at you at the same time. More than I can say for some doctors. Takes time to explain Everything. I have always recommended him since my 1st surgery on 2009.

I could not say enough good things about Dr. Laurent. I had a great experience with my surgery. Everything went as planned and things were explained beforehand.

No other Doctor will touch my back. He's very good.

Never seems rushed, answers all questions, surgery was successful

Took time to discuss my problem and history. Advised a treatment plan as if he was in my shoes.

told me straight up !appreciate that a lot!!

Very nice and listened to what I had to say.

Dr Laurent is the best! He has done three successful surgeries for me. Great bedside manner and I trust him completely with my medical issues. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Impressed with efficiency and knowledge.

Personable, took the time and patience to answer all my questions, I appreciated his straight-forwardness, extremely knowledgeable

My mom had a severe spine fracture and spinal cord damage. Dr. Laurent performed the surgery and it went very well. Since then she has made tremendous progress and has peace of mind after her follow up visits with Dr. Laurent and his PA "Sean".

Very professional and timely. Did not try to talk me into surgery I did not need.

Straight forward, extremely professional and personable.

To the point.

Friendly & caring

Everything was explained in a clear & concise manner.

Great bedside manner! Felt comforted and enlightened about my condition with better understanding about my body and options to improve.

Dr Laurent was clear in his statements, didn’t waste any time and told what I needed to hear. A rare quality these days.

If you want a Dr that actually cares about finding out what’s wrong then go elsewhere. Never had a doctor act so inconsiderate.

Very Professional and Knowledgeable

Thank you for your kind and patient service.

Outstanding surgeon! I feel fortunate to have had his expertise for my T11/12 laminectomy in April 2022.

Very approachable; explained in terms that were understood.

A thorough review of test results in language I could understand.

Went out of his way to analyze my health problem

The accommodating staff was very efficient and friendly. Checking in was done on a machine which made it a lot easier. All in all, the visit was very efficient, and any concerns or questions were answered.

He obviously is very knowledgeable. And I like that he didn't push any surgery.

Not totally satisfied with last session. In a "quicky" 15 minute session, Dr Laurent glanced at post-operative MRI and noted he could not see anything which would cause the very clear symptoms (continued sciatica pain, loss of mobility, compression related). Conclusion was to pass me on to a pain management specialist (Dr. Levi).

Dr Laurent and his staff were amazing. Everyone involved in the process were professional and attentive. The fusion surgery Dr Laurent performed has me pain free for the first time in years. There are some very special people in this world who have the ability to heal. Dr Laurent is definitely one of them. I highly recommend Dr Laurent and his staff at Jordan Young Institute.

Awesome visit - Dr. Laurent & staff were sincere and truly has the patients best interest at hand. None better...

He really listens to me and gave me time to talk and explain my pain. Then was honest about what he could do to help me.

Answered all my questions and did everything I needed him to do during my recent visit and my previous visits.

Personable and explains things well. answered all questions and never seemed rushed

Sent the time to answer all my questions but seemed rushed

Very good Dr. He worked on me before & I’m very pleased.

Professional and perfect outcome from Dr Laurant and team!

Friendly, Easy to talk to, Listened patiently, Gave options to my situation, Professional.

Went over my MRI and explained the spinal changes.

Dr. Laurent has done 2 neck surgeries for me and he’s been nothing short of amazing with each step of the process!

Excellent ------ Thanks!

I was very pleased with my first visit. Dr. Laurent was very informative, answered all of my questions and very polite. I feel confident he'll do an excellent job with my surgery.

Dr. Laurent is a true professional.

Great Doctor

Very personable and caring. Explained my problem and provided treatment options. The staff were kind and friendly as well.

Dr. Laurent was very helpful and took the time to talk with me about my do's and don'ts from back surgery.

Efficient and thorough consultation. All questions thoughfully and completely answered.

Good doctor and very knowledgeable.

Although my current situation is not operable, I applaud Dr. Laurent for his honesty and integrity.

We were on the same page from the beginning. Surgery would not be an option. I would have an MRI and then we would come up with a non-surgical option with Dr, Levy/Dr. Horn.

Nice and friendly, took time to listen to me and my concerns. I felt comfortable seeing him as my Doctor.

Dr. Laurent is the best. My surgery and subsequent recovery went so well. I have a new lease on life thanks to his expertise.

Very professional but caring at the same time. Listens to you

I've been going to Dr. Laurent for several years and he is always been very helpful in explaining any of my problems for me to understand. Very professional. I would recommend him highly.

Been my doctor for about 10 years. He has performed 2 surgeries and both went flawless. If you need a neurosurgeon look no farther than Dr. Laurent.

Dr. Laurent made me felted at ease when he spoke with me in referred to me about my back surgery . I felted at ease Dr. Laurent is the best. I would recommend me him to my family and friends he has good bedside manners.

Have not had my MRI yet. No problem has been determined.

Dr. Laurent and his associates are the best!!

Always makes a person feel comfortable always willing to answer any and every question

This was my first visit with Dr. Laurent, who will be performing my spinal fusion surgery. I truly enjoyed my visit and feel more at ease about having the surgery. Surgery was my last option to relieve the daily pain in my lower back, buttocks, and the back of my thighs and legs!! I AM READY FOR SOME RELIEF!!

Dr Laurent is a wonderful doctor..

He keeps changing his "looks"!

Very professional and informative about your procedure

Great bedside manner! Dr. Laurent spent time with me answering my questions, and reviewing my surgery options.

Dr Laurent has taken care of me and my wife for the the past 10 or so years and we have the highest confidence in is surgical abilities. He also relates well with patience

He explained my problem and gave me options to help. Visit was short.

He is the best and I feel honored to be able to see him. He has helped me tremendously.

Personable, excellent communicator, relatable and affable. A real pleasure to work with.

Very efficient and did a great job explaining the diagnosis and prognosis.

Great results, 6 stars based on my experience. Perfect results and no post surgery issues.

Post op discharge orders caused confusion for the family. He said pt would stay overnight, then wrote orders for same day discharge.

Listens to the patient, answers the questions so lay people understand, and is reasonable with the options available.

Knowledgeable and highly skilled.

I respect him as a person an I respect his God given ability to perform surgery with perfection. He cares.

Very flippant about issues after sorgeonand I am stuff. Never again though

Dr L explained my results and answered all of my questions. He was not dismissive of my symptoms.as others have been.

Friendly,knowledgeable and if I had anymore back problems I would definitely go to him

I just meeting u new Dr

Respectful and thorough in explaining my MRI. Gave options instead of just surgery!
