Reviews
Very nice and friendly doctor. He knows what he is doing. He is very comfident and professional. But the most important 100% looking after his patients and listening them.
He has an excellent 'bedside manner;' he is extremely thorough when explaining what procedures he will carry out.
During the procedure he kept me informed throughout, and kept asking if I was in any pain or discomfort: his manner, his style and confidence kept me calm.
He came to see me just before I was discharged, and we agreed when he would contact me to discuss my updated situation.
He is one the best Clinicians I have seen for many years!
Dr Kandikattu and his team were very caring and kind and I cannot fault the care I
received today. Dr Kandikattu talked me through every stage of the procedure and
kept asking me if I was ok. I could not fault my treatment.
I have every confidence in recommending him.
Very attentive and talks you through everything. Makes you feel comfortable and calm. Your comfort is his main priority. Thank you
Can not fault him. Very understanding and very helpful.

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.
