I was treated by Mr Nikolic for both facet joint problems and then sciatica issues, so all in all three different procedural injections to help with ongoing pain. From the very first appointment, I was impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and the time he took to explain each procedure in clear, understandable terms. He discussed the different treatment options, what they involved, and why he believed they were worth trying. This gave me complete confidence that he was doing everything possible to identify the source of my pain and provide the best treatment available. Throughout my care, I always felt I was in very good hands. His expertise, combined with his witty, funny and reassuring manner, made a difficult experience much easier.

I’m sooo happy. I am pain free. The triage of dr serge; dr Catherine Spencer smith and camilla Curtis physio has pretty much changed everything. Dr serge is straightforward and kind! It’s taken many years to feel heard and validated having been given a diagnosis. Many many thanks!!! Grateful

I had such a wonderful experience on the 10th when I had my procedure done. Dr. Nikolic is incredibly professional, polite, and he truly knows what he is doing. Having had the needle, I can say he is very straightforward and precise. The procedure was done before I even knew it! It has already made a real difference, and I am looking forward to the final result. I say this with a full heart: he is truly a master of science. Doctors are very clever, but to be given an injection that saves me from having to go through a major operation is just amazing. The entire team treated me so well. I felt completely safe, comfortable, and everything was explained to me clearly. I am so grateful. Thank you, Dr. Nikolic—you really are a master of science!
