i have been referred to Dr Subhash Kandikattu for problems with my arthritis in my spine, at the moment his treating me for the cervical area of the spine.
The first time i met him was in October 2020 and i think he was about 3 minutes "late"
for my appointment and he was so apologetic for being delayed ( which i told him was no problem at all 3 minutes is not a delay in my book, ive had way longer).
In my consultation he went through the process of what he was suggesting to do for me in great detail. ( Facet joint injections ).
On the day of my first injections ( in the right side of my neck) after being booked in by the nurses, i once again met Dr Kandikattu who went through the process that the procedure would take ( again in great detail ).
I was then taken into the treatment room and just like Dr Kandikattu all the other staff are so polite and put you at ease.
Then when the procedure began Dr kandikattu takes great care to not only ex-plane what he is doing all the time throughout the treatment he is also checking with you about your well-being.
And when the procedure was finished he still checks on you to see if your OK right upto the time that i was leaving.
In my opinion ive never been treated better by a Dr ( and ive only been seen by him twice, 3rd time coming end of February 2021 for the next injections).
I highly recommend this Dr ( i wish id been under his care a lot sooner).

My experience of Dr Subhash Kandikattu from start to finish has been exceptional. He introduced himself, coming across very polite. Explained the procedure thoroughly, and allowed for any questions I may have. In theatre, he explained everything that was going to happen and asked me to inform him if I felt any pain, on these occasions he stopped and used more local anaesthetic, and always asked prior to continuing the procedure. He talked to me throughout the procedure and let me know when he was near to finishing and when he was finished. Once in the recovery room, he came to see me and asked if I was alright and I saw him check upon all his other patients also. I do not think there is anything he could do better. His work and mannerism throughout was flawless. I would not be concerned about anything as his explanation was impeccable. It is a shame there are not more people like him. May I say his team is also awesome. I was looked after wonderfully from start to Finish. Thank you so much.

“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.”

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.
