Explanation

Dr Nikolic is a very kind and caring consultant. I alway feel he gives me the time I need, answers my questions and is thoughtful and considered when planning treatment. When he has performed spinal injections he treats me with respect and I feel entirely confident that he will take care of me and more importantly find a way to relieve the pain as best as he can. Dr Nikolic has taken care of me now for 2 years and I would not visit anyone else even though I have to travel from Surrey into London.

I would highly recommend Dr Nikolic and his care. He is very informative and ensures you fully understand the situation and options before you make decisions. He's interested in you as a person and not just your condition. He brings an element of humor and is very personable which makes the decisions we need to make much easier. Dr Nikolic and his team are excellent and I cannot recommend them enough.

I had a lot of faith in Dr Nikolic understanding the problem I had with the pain from my back / leg and that this is something he has now managed to sort out for me. The pain is so much improved and I once again enjoy being able to do the activities I had to stop doing due to the pain.

Explanation

Dr Nikolic is an excellent pain management consultant. He explained my procedure to me calmly and clearly and was extremely reassuring when I was nervous. I have had the same procedure twice now with Dr Nikolic (with several months in between as the efficacy wears off) and would not hesitate to see him again. I have seen other pain management consultants in the past for this same issue and I have found Dr Nikolic by far the most empathetic and straightforward.

Explanation

After three years of on and off pain caused by a trapped nerve in my back, I was finally directed to Dr Nikolic by a physiotherapist who had sent clients to him in the past. Over the three years I had seen endless people who all suggested different things and remedys all which didnt work. At the first consultation he established what was wrong and what could help it, this turned out to be an injection in my spine to break the pain cycle and reduce inflammation therefore allowing me to return to exercise. He was very honest about the possibility of it not working. Thankfully it did work almost immediately and I have been pain free since then. He was extremely clear in explaining the procedure and I felt very safe in his experienced care

Explanation

I think Dr Nikolic’s patients would benefit from more explanation as to how and why this happened, and as to the possibility of a reoccurrence. More time needs to be taken as at every appointment I have felt rushed and hurried out the door. A visual explanation would also help me understand exactly what happened.
