Dr Subhash Kanditattu really makes the effort to explain what he is doing and why, constantly asking how my condition was and working at my pace for pain.

Patient comfort through the procedure was Dr Kandikattus priority, I felt totally at ease for a procedure involving 5 injections, it was much better than going to the dentist! ,. His running commentary was informative and amusing and kept my mind of the procedure.

On wed 9th Dec 2020 I had 6 Injections including steroid, anesthestic, and 2 radio frequency lesioning denervation injections done in theatre in various places around my lower spine by a very professional Mr Kandikattu.
The proceedure was to give me relief from constand lower back spinal stenosis pain as well as cronic sciatica pain which has dogged me for several years.
From the beginning of the procedure through to the end I felt re-assured as Mr Kandikattu was constantly checking with me if I was okay, if the level of pain was minimal and was telling me what he was doing. All of this contributed to me feeling so much calmer about having it done.I cannot thank Mr Kandikattu enough.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Him and the Fitwilliam nursing staff who attended to me during the proceedure.

Dr kandikattu was very sympathetic and understanding of my pain. He was so kind I felt trusting of him that I agreed to having the injection treatment. So we shall see if he is as reassuring undertaking the treatment he has recommended.

I recently had steroid injections done in theatre in various places around my lower spine by Mr Kandikattu and I was extremely nervous about having this done understandably.
From the beginning of the procedure through to the end I felt re-assured as Mr Kandikattu was constantly checking with me if I was okay, if the level of pain was minimal and was telling me what he was doing. All of this contributed to me feeling so much calmer about having it done.
