I didn’t have the best of experiences with another doctor prior to this. From the first meeting dr Kandikattu though he made me feel at ease about my procedure. He was completely in tune with the fact that these procedures/experiences can and do make patients feel very tense annd worried. He kept me informed throughout and was explaining everything he was doing. Making sure that I was completely comfortable before he moved forward with each stage. The fact that i have been able to sleep through the night for the first time since 2005 since my procedure puts him at the top of the list in my eyes.

Having suffered from chronic pain for numerous years, Dr Kandikattu was the first doctors in all that time that actually listened to me, he immediately made me feel at ease as if he had all the time in the world. He took the time to ask many questions and examine me before discussing treatment. He explained everything in detail and answered all my concerns. I can honest say that Dr Kandikattu has helped me through some really difficult periods and cannot thank him enough. He seems to really care for his patients and will go out of his way to give them the treatment required. I highly recommend Dr KandiKattu to anyone that is suffering with pain, he has got to be the best in his field.

Dr Kandikattu is a very compassionate specialist in pain medicine. I have undergone several consultations and the resulting procedures. He patiently explained everything to me about my condition and the procedures he recommends. Even during the procedures he keeps the atmosphere very friendly with his staff and myself to help reduce anxiety. He frequently checks in with me to explain the progress of the procedure and what he is doing next and is always asking am I ok. It is quite clear he has a great team working alongside him as well. The only downside was I didn't get a lollipop for being a good patient as they didn't have any. So I sent them a jar of them for other patients as well as themselves. I have every confidence in Dr Kandikattu and from my personal experience I can whole heartedly endorse him for his specialism in pain medicine.

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.
