Dr. Kandikattu made me feel completely at ease, both during the consultations and during the procedure. He treated me with respect and patience at all times. I most certainly concur with all the good things said in other reviews.

Everything during consultation and procedure explained in terms one could understand. The utmost care and consideration given during and after the procedure. Third procedure and wouldn’t consider going to another consultant. Outstanding!

Dr Subhash Kandikattu is a person I totally trust from the first time I met him. My situation has not been run of the mill and he has not given up on trying to make my life more bearable by giving me pain relief as I have been allergic or intolerant to medication. Each time when I have the procedure he has totally explained everything and ensured that I am comfortable and not in any pain or anguish. Yesterday I had the procedure once again and there was a problem with the x-ray machine but he made sure we were all aware of what was happening.

Today I was seen by the kindest, most polite and sincere man. I was very nervous, but dr kandikattu soon put me at my ease, he talked to me constantly and was very reassuring, he explained everything to me so that I completely understood his diagnosis, the treatment and the procedure I was to have. Thank you so much, to all the team who also took great care of me and were so kind.

Profile


Dr Kandikattu is one of the few pain medicine consultants in East Anglia to have gained certification in the Fellowship in Interventional Pain Practice (FIPP). He uses the biopsychosocial model of pain to offer modern assessment and management of his patients’ pain at the Peterborough City & Stamford Hospital, Fitzwilliam and Boston West and Clementine Churchill Hospitals.

“Whilst doing my pain training at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital and Hillingdon Hospital, I was inspired by the pioneers in pain management there and I became keen to learn new techniques.”

“I am pleased to now be able to tutor students studying for their MSc in Regional Anaesthetics at the University of East Anglia and I hope that I can instil some of desire to embrace new and modern pain management techniques in these trainees.”

Dr Kandikattu offers comprehensive pain management to people suffering from chronic pain from their head to their toes including: cancer, musculoskeletal and spinal (neck, chest, lower back, sciatica), neuropathic, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and persistent post-surgical pain.

He performs a full range of pain interventions including epidurals, facet and sacroiliac joint injections, radiofrequency denervations, most of which are image-guided using x-ray or ultrasound guidance. He is also an expert in treating acute pain and inpatient pain management.

He offers outpatient appointments and inpatient care for pain management intervention at the Fitzwilliam and Boston West Hospitals. Patients struggling with chronic post-operative pain may need further pain management to relieve their discomfort and Dr Kandikattu can offer a back-up service for them too.

“I use this holistic model of approach for all my patients, taking all the biological, psychological and, social factors into account as each can impact on a patient’s pain. It’s important to treat patients as a whole.” said Dr Kandikattu.
