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.
Dr Nikolic was wonderful. He was clear about what was happening (disc causing sciatica) and the next steps (pros and cons). I got injections which were painless and the follow up was very professional and clear.
Serge is an excellent professional from what I have experienced. No, he does not have a good bedside manner, but he is a great consultant. I take the latter over the former. He is very to the point and my first consultation with him took 17 minutes which included an examination. If you are fragile and want a sympathetic ear, he's not your man. If you want a great professional, don't hesitate.
I was referred to be seen by Dr Nikolic in October with lower back pain and exhausting sciatica. His approach was extremely clear and professional setting out his plan for scans and tests to accurately diagnose the source of the pain beyond other specialists I had previously seen. I have had a number of injections with him which have given relief. I would recommend him.
Dr Nikolic was very clear and efficient with me. Most importantly the treatment worked and my pain is greatly improved.
Dr Nikolic was kind and patient in listiening to my issues. He provided timely and effective treatment.
Dr Nikolic is very thorough in explaining things and also very supportive which is so important when you are experiencing pain. I feel safe and confident in his care.
Dr Nikolic is a skilled and knowledgeable physician. He successfully treated my scoliosis and was able to recommend a physiotherapist to take my rehabilitation further.
Dr Nikolic was clear on potential next steps and to the point while at the same time listening to my concerns and giving me space to ask all my questions. I feel better knowing that I can see him again if I have issues during my recovery and longer term management.
I saw Dr Nikolic regarding chronic back and leg pain. He was thoughtful, considered, friendly and professional. I felt he was really working to help ease my pain and carefully considered all the options. He worked together with a team to decide on the best course of action. He was available and keen to try all options to help. I would happily and easily recommend him to all.
I had a very positive experience with Dr. Nikolic. I really appreciated his frankness and the clarity with which he explained my diagnosis. His professionalism stood out, especially in not recommending unnecessary treatment—something I found refreshing and reassuring. It’s worth noting that his style is quite direct. I personally valued this straightforward approach, but those looking for a more gentle or emotionally expressive bedside manner might find it different from what they’re used to. For me, the honesty and integrity behind his approach made for an excellent experience.
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. Dr Nikolic combines deep clinical expertise with a thoughtful, evidence-based approach. He is particularly skilled in interventional pain management, spinal cord stimulation and neuromodulation, musculoskeletal and spinal pain, neuropathic pain, and chronic pain syndromes. His communication is clear and reassuring, and patients consistently feel supported and well-informed throughout their care.
