Dr Serge Nikolic interacts with patients as a professional, clear specialist. He provides precise diagnoses and practical treatment plans. These involve procedures such as spinal injections, radiofrequency denervation, and spinal cord stimulation for sciatica, disc issues, and chronic back and leg pain. Some patients describe his communication style as direct; others value his frankness and detailed explanation of procedures and outcomes. His expertise addresses patient concerns, bringing notable pain relief and better quality of life for many musculoskeletal and neuropathic conditions.
A thorough and frank discussion, with a clear path forward.
I cannot recommend Dr. Nikolic highly enough for his clinical precision and consummate professionalism. Dealing with a complex C5/6 disc injury for the last three months, I found his approach to be incredibly refreshing and reassuring. Unlike many consultants, Dr. Nikolic is deeply data-oriented; he prioritizes objective baselines and structured feedback—often requiring concise, numerical, or short-worded responses—to ensure his assessments are as clinical and accurate as possible. While this may seem less "friendly," that is not at all the case. It allows him to clearly, clinically, and objectively measure progress which he deeply cares about. What stands out most about working with Dr. Nikolic is his integrity regarding intervention. He possesses a clear desire to avoid unnecessary procedures (a rarity, in my experience) only recommending treatment when the data and physical progress (or lack thereof) make it a mechanical necessity. His instructions are clear, his logic is transparent, and he treats the patient as a partner in a high-stakes recovery process. If you are looking for a spinal pain management specialist who values objective truth over ad-hoc narration, Dr. Nikolic is the gold standard. I thoroughly recommend him.
Always a reassuring pleasure to be in contact with Dr. Nikolic.
Having suffered with severe back pain for 8 years it was good to be referred to Dr Nikolic and understand the potential root of the back pain. After a short consultation to discuss the problem and options available the agreed procedure was smooth and the recovery has been better than I could have hoped.
Dr Nikolic is a very sincere doctor who fully explains any procedures that are planned and expected outcomes, making sure you are always aware that sometimes there is no magic cure for some things you are going through and pain management therapy is also a part of his care to help you manage and learn how to live with any underlying health conditions you may have that also cause pain. I have had several procedures under his care and always felt fully informed and looked after by him and his team.
Dr Nikolic was super helpful in my recent visit. I'm really pleased with the service I have been provided.
Dr Nikolic was so kind with the most excellent bedside manner and really took his time to explain everything you needed to know whilst carefully listening to everything I had to say. I would highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Dr Serge Nikolic, an outstanding Consultant in Pain Medicine and Neuromodulation with extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of complex pain conditions.

He is particularly skilled in interventional pain management, spinal cord stimulation and neuromodulation, musculoskeletal and spinal pain, neuropathic pain, and chronic pain syndromes.
