I felt totally relax during my procedure because he fully explained it and was talking me through it at all times. My procedure was at Stamford hospital but not in drop down menu

Dr Subhash Kandikattu was very through in explaining everything to me and making me feel at ease. He listened very carefully to all my problems. He examined me then explained in great detail what was causing my symptoms, which are, pain in my left side, bad bouts of nausea and tightness of my ankles & calves. It as taken over 12 months of visits to different Doctors to be given a diagnosis within half an hour from Dr Kandikattu. Thank you so much a great weight as been lifted from my shoulders. I await my treatment with enthusiasm.

Excellent enquiry skills. Excellent diagnosis and thorough simple, understandable explanation. Excellent communication of the necessary non invasive treatment with a visual example. Thoroughly satisfied with this perfect consultation. No improvement to be made. Dr Kandikattu shines like a star, he is interested in the patient, excellent eye contact, excellent empathy. Dr Kandikattu enjoys his work and was not at all tired or jaded by the job.

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.
