I could not have asked for a better DR. Dr Kandikattu was amazing explained everything he was doing every step of the way. Was very caring and stopped until the anesthetic kicked in to continue. I would 100000% recommend Dr Kandikattu.

Despite the doctors worry of causing me pain during the procedure i had done today, i didnt expect to come into a surgery and not receive any pain or discomfort! Dr kandikattu did everything possible to keep me comfortable and provided extra anaesthetic as and when necessary throughout to maintain me being pain free as possible. My muscles are so tight and spasm so much is the reason for the pain and hopefully my pain will ease now after this procedure, only time can tell!! Dr kandikattu professionalism was spot on! His mannerism is just so polite and caring towards all patients and staff, can not fault him in anyway. He is clear in what he is doing and explains it step by step! Very pleased with my procedure today, if you can view this review thank you so much and dont worry about the pain, i blame my body

I have been under the care of Dr Kandikattu for quite a few years now. The moment you’re his theatre he talks you through every single process of the procedure. Dr Kandikattu is a great man, he’s kind, caring, polite and at all times insures you are as comfortable as possible during procedures. He has a very calming nature, I trust him 100% and would highly recommend him. Dr Kandikattu is also very respectful to staff assisting him in theatre. I can not thank him enough for all the procedures I’ve had with him now, he’s a wonderful Doctor

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.
