On Episode 108 of The Grant O Show, we sit down with Dr. Lindsay Lasseigne, neurosurgeon, Director of Neurosciences at Thibodaux Regional Health System, Lockport native, Nicholls State University graduate, and a 2025 Best of Lafourche Forty Under 40 honoree.

After completing some of the highest levels of medical training in the country, Dr. Lasseigne made the decision to return home to South Louisiana to care for the community that helped shape her. In this conversation, she shares her journey into neurosurgery, one of the most challenging and rewarding specialties in medicine, and explains why investing in local healthcare and mentoring future physicians has become a personal mission.

We discuss the path from Nicholls State University to medical school and residency, the realities of brain and spine surgery, advances in neurosurgical technology, physician leadership, rural healthcare, and the importance of recruiting and retaining talented medical professionals in the Bayou Region.
