About
Dr Nikolic has graduated medicine in 1992 and has been working as a Consultant in Pain Medicine since 2006. He works both privately and on the NHS at St Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospitals.Â
He covers a wide range of interests, including spintal pain management, myofascial pain syndromes, neuromodulation/spinal cord stimulation, complex regional pain syndromes, headaches and neuropathic pain.Â
Dr Nikolic provides treatments that are tailored for every patient and rely on a holistic approach including interventional pain management, analgesia optimisation and comprehensive rehabilitation and psychological support when appropriate. He is currently working closely with a team of specialists who are experts in their fields (physiotherapists, osteopaths, vocational rehabilitation specialists/occupational therapists and clinical psychologists).
Dr Nikolic believes that it is highly important to provide a service of the highest clinical standard that is firmly founded on the principles of evidence-based medicine. He is regularly involved in teaching and research in order to keep his professional knowledge and skills up to date.
It is important that HCA is transparent about our relationship with those doctors who provide us with clinical guidance on delivering the best possible care to patients and operating our hospitals safely and efficiently. We set out here some of the ways in which we work together and the amount we pay this doctor for such services.

"When patients come to see me, they need help and they need my network of Clinicians who are experts in their field. Serge is the epitome of not only an excellent clinician i spinal pain, but he is also deeply empathetic and warm. We regularly hold joint consultations together, for patients who are struggling both physically, but also emotionally, and I have rarely experienced this with another clinician of his calibre. In short, all the Ts and Is are crossed, he is careful, diligent, forward-thinking and puts every patient at the centre of his care. If you're a patient who's struggling to get pro-active care, Serge is your man. He's treated my Olympian patients and members of my family, and I think he's fantastic!"
