Fantastic doctor. Calm, relaxed approach made me feel very safe confident in him. Procedure was done very professionally and he ensured I knew everything that was happening and constantly checked I was ok. Really happy, thank you.

Dr Kandikattu is truly exceptional. I have now been treated by him on two occasions and was made to feel welcomed, cared for and completely relaxed and at ease. Dr Kandikattu went above and beyond any treatment l have ever had to ensure that l was fully informed and that my experience and comfort was his first priority. His gentle and calm tone of voice throughout ensured that l was free from any tension and anxiety that l may have otherwise experienced. Dr Kandikattu is a true professional , I know l am in good hands.

I have just got back from my procedure and the whole experience was so much better than expected. I was quite nervous when I arrived as never had the procedure before. The nurses where very friendly and helped me to relax. Dr kandikattu came and explained the procedure and all the way through told me what he was doing and kept asking how I was feeling. If I experienced the slightest discomfort he stopped what he was doing and gave me more local. The whole procedure was relaxed and as pain free as possible. The nurses talked to me as well to relax me. I can't recommend this team and Dr kandikattu highly enough. Thank you very much.

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.
