Dr Kandikattu explained the procedure fully and spoke to me throughout the procedure. He only continued with the procedure when I was ready and pain free. His manner was excellent and made me feel at ease. Once the procedure was finished he came to visit me on the ward to ensure I was ok and to explain what to expect after the procedure. Excellent bedside manner and came across as caring. I wouldn't hesitate in having further treatment with Dr Kandikattu. Excellent care.

Absolutely fantastic. Dr Subhash Kandikattu was very attentive and wanted to make sure I wasn’t in any pain during my procedure. All of the team were very pleasant and accommodating. If I had been nervous or worried, everyone would have put me at ease with being so friendly and reassuring.

As a 40 year old I have seen a fair number of doctors in my lifetime: only on one other occasion have I met a doctor who has fully engaged with me, taken the time required to fully explain my condition along with its symptoms, and then explain a clear care path to recovery. Dr Kandikattu struck a perfect balance between compassion, firm but balanced advice/guidance, and lighthearted humour to foster an engaging doctor/patient relationship. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Kandikattu to anyone.

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.
