A very smooth, trouble-free experience. Dr Nikolic calmly and clearly explained what was going to happen before the procedure and in the operating theatre and administered tge carefully targeted injections in a virtually pain-free manner. Although I had been warned it might take 2 weeks to feel the benefits, the relief from pain was immediate and persists.

I have been under Dr Nicolic’s care for the past three years, and I could not recommend him more highly. He is an outstanding professional and, without question, top in his field. In that time he has helped me manage my lower back pain through one of the most significant chapters of my life, including before, during, and after my pregnancy, and his expertise and support throughout have been quite simply exceptional. What sets Dr Nicolic apart is the rare combination of true clinical excellence and genuine warmth. He takes the time to explain every treatment he proposes, along with the risks involved, so that I have always felt fully informed and completely confident in my care. His bedside manner is wonderful, and as a person he is kind, patient, and always happy to help. After every procedure he has personally checked in on me to see how I was recovering, which tells you everything about how much he cares for his patients. In over three years I have seen no one else, and I have no intention of doing so for as long as I am able, because he is, in my experience, the very best there is. I would also like to mention his assistant, Liona, who is absolutely wonderful. She is always helpful, proactive, and unfailingly kind, and she makes every visit that little bit easier. The care I have received from start to finish has been second to none.

Doctor Nicolic is a most professional and sympathetic doctor. He puts you at ease, explains exactly how he will conduct the consultation and listens carefully. His comments, advice and treatments are clear and I have injections under sedation from him a couple of times to good effect and without any discomfort during or immediately after the treatment. He inspires confidence with his approach amd manner and treats his patients with great respect. I trust him completely and have no hesitation in highly recommending him.
