Dr subhash kandikattu takes the time to listen, explain and get your opinion and asks you as the patient what you want. He doesn't push you into making a decision, let's you decide, a very good quality to have and most of all he respects your opinion and checks you understand and are happy with treatment plan. This is the 3rd time I've seen him and all 3 times please t friendly and caring.

Dr Kandikattu has been treating me for long standing back pain and muscle spasticity caused by cerebal palsy. I have had a series of facet joint, trigger point and SI, steroid injections and am just awaiting some denervation treatment too.
Throughout the process, Dr Kandikattu has been so kind and patient, taking time to make sure I understand what's happening and ensuring I'm not experiencing too much discomfort during the procedures. The whole team has been fantastic.
After many years of misdiagnosis and being passed from pillar to post, it's such a relief to have a consultant who actually listens and has your best interests at heart. He's a really lovely doctor who I would highly recommend.

Having had a lumber decompression and back problems for a number years, I was lucky to see Mr Kandikattu who has already done a successful procedure on my back and is at present advising me on pain relief. He is a gentleman, kind and very understanding.I have every confidence in him. Mrs Sandra Shakespeare. Fitzwilliam hospital March 2020.

Dr Kandikattu is one of the best medical doctors i have seen during my pain management needs. His demeanor and bed-side manner is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, flexible, and personal. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed and asked me questions about my recreational life (which no doctor has ever done before!). we also discussed my personal life and showed palpable concern in restoring a “normality and a quality of my life” having been put into cancer palliative care by the oncology dept. He took time to address some life phase events and he made recommendations as to what i needed. i find that doctors usually are distracted or rushed when visiting their patients, but not with dr. kandikattu. i had the sense that this doctor REALLY cared about my whole being and not just the fact that i needed a physical exam and some other work done. additionally i could tell that dr. kandikattu has a well-rounded medical background and approaches his care with a total perspective, not the typical medical “fix it and get rid of it” approach. It is for this reason and the fact that his staff were very friendly and welcoming, that i give him 5 stars! i would definitely recommend this Doctor to anyone that values their health and wants a doctor that cares.

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.
