Reviews
Really good experience, kept me informed during the procedure. Put me ar ease all the way through. Outcome looking good.
I have no improvements to suggest. The care was exceptionally good from the nurses to the consultant Dr Kandikattu. In fact I cannot praise the latter enough. He is informative, caring and constantly concerned about his patient. He maintained a continued dialogue through the procedure with the utmost concern it was a painless procedure. He explained everything in detail before and after the procedure. Very solicitous at all times. I would hesitate to recommend Dr Kandikattu to anyone who required similar treatment.
Dr Kandikattu was kind, considerate and efficient. He listened and took to the time to explain everything that was happening to ensure that I understood, and was as happy and relaxed (as possible) every step of the way. His humour helped ease my nervous.
Dr Kandikattu is professional, patient and caring I would not hesitate in recommending him.
He kept me fully informed at every stage of the procedure, constantly checking I was ok
The theatre and nurses were lovely at no stage did I feel anxious
Thank you very much for looking after me so well
Dr Kandikattu explained everything to me before the procedure and told me everything that he was doing while performing the procedure so he made me feel relaxed and not worried at all. All the nurses and Dr Kandikattu were really lovely, I was looked after really well and in the future if I need another procedure I hope it will be Dr Kandikattu who performs it

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.
