About Clinique du Val d'Or
Clinique du Val d'Or, part of the Vivalto Sante group, is a leading private healthcare facility located at 16 Rue Pasteur in Saint-Cloud. Renowned for its surgical excellence, the clinic is home to a distinguished team of specialists across multiple disciplines, with a particular strength in orthopaedic and neurosurgical procedures.
The clinic features cutting-edge operating theatres equipped with advanced intraoperative navigation systems, operative microscopes, and high-resolution imaging technology. These tools are indispensable for the minimally invasive spinal techniques that Dr Dimitriu specialises in, enabling shorter incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster patient recovery times.
The patient experience at Clinique du Val d'Or is characterised by attentive, individualised care. From the initial consultation through to post-operative rehabilitation, patients benefit from a coordinated team of anaesthetists, specialist nurses, and physiotherapists who work alongside Dr Dimitriu to deliver optimal surgical outcomes. The facility's comfortable private rooms and tranquil setting in the heart of Saint-Cloud further contribute to a positive recovery environment.
Conditions treated
At Clinique du Val d'Or, Dr Dimitriu provides expert surgical care for the complete range of spinal conditions. The most frequently treated pathologies include:
- Lumbar disc herniation causing sciatica or cruralgia
- Cervical disc herniation and cervicobrachial neuralgia
- Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
- Cervical myelopathy (spinal cord compression)
- Degenerative disc disease and chronic low back pain
- Vertebral fractures and spinal trauma
Dr Dimitriu employs the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever clinically appropriate, including microdiscectomy, tubular retractor-assisted decompression, and percutaneous instrumentation for spinal fusion. For more complex cases such as multi-level stenosis or high-grade spondylolisthesis, traditional open approaches are performed with the same meticulous attention to precision and safety.
