    Dr. Alexandru Florian Grecu — Senior Consultant Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeon

    I am Dr. Alexandru Florian Grecu, a senior consultant orthopedic and trauma surgeon based in Craiova. I practice at MedLife Private Hospital (2A Științei Street) and the Craiova County Emergency Clinical Hospital (1 Tabaci Street).

    My practice is exclusively dedicated to adult orthopedics, focusing on hip and knee replacement, knee arthroscopy, and regenerative therapies with PRP and hyaluronic acid.

    If you are still weighing your options, I have written about how to choose the surgeon for a joint replacement and about osteoporosis and fracture risk in the elderly, two subjects that come up in almost every consultation.
