About Centre Medical Francoeur
Centre Medical Francoeur is a multidisciplinary medical centre located at 42 Rue Francoeur in Viry-Chatillon. The centre brings together practitioners from various medical specialties, creating a collaborative environment where patients can access diverse expertise in a single, convenient location.
Dr Dimitriu holds regular consultation sessions at Centre Medical Francoeur, providing comprehensive neurosurgical assessments for patients with spinal conditions. During these consultations, Dr Dimitriu conducts thorough clinical examinations, reviews imaging studies (MRI, CT scans, X-rays), and discusses all available treatment options with the patient, from conservative management and physiotherapy through to surgical intervention when necessary.
The centre's location in Viry-Chatillon makes it particularly valuable for patients in the southern Essonne area who may find it difficult to travel to Paris or the western suburbs for an initial assessment. By offering consultations locally, Dr Dimitriu ensures that expert spinal care is accessible to a wider population. When surgery is recommended, the procedure is scheduled at one of Dr Dimitriu's fully equipped surgical facilities, such as Clinique de l'Yvette in nearby Longjumeau.
Conditions assessed
At Centre Medical Francoeur, Dr Dimitriu provides expert consultations for the full range of spinal conditions. Patients commonly present with:
- Lumbar disc herniation and sciatica
- Cervical disc herniation and cervicobrachial neuralgia
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
- Cervical myelopathy
- Spondylolisthesis
- Chronic low back pain and degenerative disc disease

During each consultation, Dr Dimitriu takes a detailed medical history, performs a neurological examination, and analyses all available imaging.

When surgery is indicated, Dr Dimitriu provides a thorough explanation of the proposed procedure, expected outcomes, and recovery timeline.
