At my consultation I felt I was understood and listened to. The examination was thorough and the advice was clear. Time was given to me and my consultation wasn’t rushed.

A very nice and attentive Doctor. Dr Kandikattu listened carefully to me and then asked questions and then explained very clearly to me what my choices were - I went away from appointment feeling more knowledgable of my condition and the treatment options I have.

I had some facet joints injections with X rays last week at the Fitzwilliam Hospital. Mr. Kandikattu is very considered, understanding and gentle and I have complete trust in him. The procedure went very well. I have seen him before as my problem seems to be recurrent and he is doing his best to understand my problem. I would have no hesitation to come back to him if necessary. I would recommend him to anybody who needs pain relief.

I was nervous on entering the hospital and therefore, quite anxious. I was greeted by lovey nurse whose kindness eased my anxiety. She was very pleasant and caring. Dr Subhash Kandikattu and his team were also very kind and patient; they made the experience of the procedure I had to undergo far easier than I expected. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all stakeholders involved with my stay at Fitzwilliam hospital.

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.
