Miss Nikki Lack

I first encountered Nikki when I was transferred to her ward during the tricky birth of my eldest son, Fabian. She immediately took control of quite a distressing situation and was calm and reassuring. Against the odds, she even managed to engineer the mode of delivery I wanted (vaginal vs C-section). I knew that if I ever had another child (and I wasn’t sure after that…), I would do everything I could to have Nikki… Two and half years later, I emailed Nikki as soon as I found out I was pregnant. And for 9 months I have had an open and direct dialogue with her. She is always professional and yet infinitely warm and relatable - I have never felt self-conscious asking questions I might deem trivial. And despite her vast experience, no ask is too big for her. In fact, I would describe Nikki’s response time as “immediate”. I had some bleeding in the first trimester and she dropped everything to see me when I came into hospital. I’ve had a pretty straightforward pregnancy and still Nikki has gone over and above to facilitate extra scans, medication, appointments eg. with haematology to track platelets, so I didn’t have to worry… In short, Nikki is a rare blend of clinical excellence and emotional intelligence. She’s empathetic, compassionate and dedicated. All this was never more evident than during birth when Nikki went out of her way to give me a positive experience this time. She listened to what I wanted and, also, knew how to nudge me in the right direction to achieve this. As a result, the birth of my second son was the polar opposite of my first; calm, controlled, wonde...

Its amazing how someone can take your previous trauma and turn it into such a wonderful experience. Miss Lack took all her time to make me feel safe and comfortable. She listened and delivered. She took care of me with so much love and was very professional. I can not thank her enough and I am very grateful for her!

Nikki has delivered both of my children. The care that Nikki provided was exceptional. I couldn’t have asked for more. Not only is she an exceptionally experienced obstetrician but she really listens to her patients with compassion. She explained every step of the process clearly. I felt in very safe hands throughout the process and knew I was being looked after by the very best. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Nikki was the best, we looked forward to all our appointments and the birth at the Fitzrovia suite was such an amazing experience. Would do it all again in a heartbeat 💓

Nikki was fantastic and we had such a special experience because of her. She's lovely and open and extremely talented. I had a c section with her and could not recommend more.

Nikki has helped us to have two lovely, natural births. She is kind and generous with her time and we felt totally safe in her hands throughout.

Nikki’s care for her patients and their families is exceptional. I feel that I could not have been cared for better due to Nikki’s compassion, expertise and rapport with us.

A Truly Exceptional Obstetrician – Dr. Nikki is One of a Kind From my very first appointment, Dr. Nikki stood out—not just as a skilled obstetrician, but as someone who genuinely cares about her patients. She took the time to truly understand me, my preferences, and the birth experience I envisioned. I never once felt rushed; instead, I felt seen, heard, and deeply supported. As delivery approached, Dr. Nikki’s calm, thoughtful approach made all the difference. She clearly explained every step, ensuring I understood what needed to happen and why. What meant the most to me was how she empowered me with choices while always prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of both my baby and me. Her care extended beyond just me—she made sure my husband felt informed, involved, and reassured throughout the entire process. If I decide to have more children in the future, I wouldn’t think twice—I would absolutely return to Dr. Nikki. It’s rare to find a doctor who blends exceptional medical care with such compassion and respect. I’m endlessly grateful.

We felt so lucky to find Nikki and have her deliver both of our children (one at the Portland). She’s incredibly present and responsive and put us at ease even amidst the inevitable uncertainties and challenges that two pregnancies can (and did) bring. Having someone so expert and calm to support us in third trimester care and delivery was invaluable. Thank you, Nikki!

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Nikki as our obstetrician for the birth of our daughter, Sofia Rose. From our very first appointment, she made us feel so comfortable — like we were in the most capable, compassionate hands. She has this calm, reassuring presence that instantly put us at ease, and we always felt like she genuinely cared about us, not just as patients, but as people. Throughout the pregnancy, she took the time to answer every question (no matter how small or anxious and no matter at what day or time!), and always made sure we felt heard and supported. By the time we reached the birth, it honestly felt like we were seeing a trusted friend — one who also happens to be an incredible doctor. Sofia’s delivery couldn’t have gone better, and a huge part of that was because of Nikki. She guided us through the experience with such grace and confidence, and we’ll never forget the moment she placed our daughter in our arms. It was everything we hoped for and more. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. Nikki will always hold a special place in our hearts — thank you for helping bring our little girl into the world in such a beautiful way.
