I was terrified of going in to have my procedure done however Dr Kandikattu was amazing! He talked me through every step of the way and was constantly checking in on how I was feeling. Before I knew it the procedure was over and I barely felt a thing! Thank you.... I certainly won’t worry again if I need to have it done again!

Mr Kandikattu was very caring throughout my procedure, and involved me completely he asked me frequently if I was ok or if I was in any pain while he carried out my facet joint injections. I have had a couple of very negative experiences with minor procedures (not with this consultant) and I was very anxious because of this. He reassured me completely taking his time and not rushing the injections. He explained carefully and succinctly what he was doing to me at each step. I was very grateful for this approach to my care and would highly recommend him to my family and friends if this kind of treatment was required for any of them.

From the outset Dr Kandikattu made me feel totally at ease, including explaining the detailed procedures to my wife. I have every confidence in Dr K throughout my ongoing treatment; feeling assured during intricate medical treatment administered in a hospital theatre. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr K for his care, attentiveness and professional manner

The doctor is very considerate and takes the time to explain the procedure and answer any of your questions. He considers the patient’s feelings and views and you leave feeling that he genuinely cares about your condition and progress. I would definitely recommend this doctor to another patient as I would be confident that they would receive the same excellent care that I always do.

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.
