LIFE WITHOUT PAIN
Dr. Alexandru Grecu – Senior Orthopedic & Trauma Surgeon in Craiova
Senior Specialist in Orthopedics & Traumatology
Associate Lecturer — University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova
I treat conditions of the knee, hip and shoulder — from injections and arthroscopy to joint replacement. The treatment plan is built around the stage of osteoarthritis, the patient's age and activity level, with one goal: to help you move pain-free again.
30 minutes, clinical evaluation, personalized plan.
About Dr. Alexandru Grecu
Orthopedic specialist with experience in treating joint conditions
With experience built over thousands of consultations and numerous complex surgeries, I am dedicated to restoring my patients' mobility and independence. My main field of expertise is knee and hip replacement surgery — interventions which, performed at the right time and with precise technique, can significantly improve mobility and autonomy when the indication is correct.
I firmly believe that the success of a surgery is not measured only in degrees of flexion or X-ray images, but mostly in how the patient resumes their life, walking, sleep and joy of movement. That is why my approach combines medical rigor with open, empathetic communication — so that every patient understands step by step what they will go through and feels safe.
Modern orthopedics is not just about treating a painful joint, but about restoring the balance of the whole body and confidence in one's own body. This is the goal of every consultation and every procedure I perform.
