Dr Kandikattu is one of the nicest doctors I have ever met. He is caring and listens and makes you feel important. I have seen him numerous times and he is always interested in how I have been and he remembers what I do for a living and I never feel rushed. Dr Kandikattu always makes sure I understand what I’m consenting to when I have to have procedures and he always checks in with me throughout to make sure I’m not in pain and ensures I am comfortable. I highly recommend Dr Kandikattu and I wish all doctors could be like him.

I met Dr Subhash Kandikattu this morning for a consultation with regards to my persistent back pain. Dr Kandikattu was the first Dr/Consultant that explained thoroughly the reason and explanations as to what is causing my pain and why. This is the first time in approximately 5 years that I have been treated that someone explained this to me. His consultation and advice was fantastic. I would highly recommend Dr Kandikattu. Thank you again indeed for the consultation this morning. Kind regards, Mr Andrew Rowan

Dr Kandikattu has helped so much with my chronic back pain. On my initial consultation he took time to listen to my situation, and then explained a treatment plan and made sure I understood. When it came to surgery, Dr Kandikattu spoke to me all the way through, explaining what he was doing and ensuring I didn’t have any pain (I didn’t feel a thing). Dr Kansikattu is fantastic at what he does, and has genuinely improved my life by relieving my back pain.

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.
