I have been seeing Dr S Kandikattu for over 10 years. He always comes to talk through the procedure with me and will answer any questions I may have. I am not sure how to describe the care he gives, he is kind, understanding, extremely professional, caring... the list can go on forever. He is a wonderful doctor and I truly wish there could be more like him. Could he improve? No... he is as perfect as any doctor can be. He gives the best care possible.

This is my second procedure with Dr Kandikattu. He has been patient with me, has reassured me over the procedure and explained what will happen in surgery to allay any concerns I may have. He always ensures I understand fully what will happen and that I am comfortable with the procedure. He is very approachable and speaks in a clear way. He respects his patients and has helped me with relief from back pain to regain my mobility in everyday life. I have no reservations about recommending him.

I was extremely well looked after. Dr. kandikattu was constantly asking if I was okay during the procedure and afterwards. He is very respectful. Always explaining what he is doing and checking that I was okay. All the staff were lovely and made the experience a calm and happy one. My thanks to all staff. I was seen at Stamford hospital but it doesn't come up with that option.

I actually can't find enough superlatives for Dr Kaandikatu. He is quite simply the most professional, caring and emphatic doctor I have ever come across. I am 65 so that takes some doing. I've been his patient at Stamford for around 13 years and have Denervation and facet joint procedures on a regular basis. He also has and incredible sense of humour and a way of putting the patient at ease. I would never see anyone else and total recommend him to anyone. He has my total trust.

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.
