Dr Kandikattu is excellent. He explains everything he is doing and is very conscious to be as careful as possible and is always checking that you are ok with what’s happening next. I’ve had him on several occasions and the procedure always offers my massive benefit so I’m very thankful to him. Can’t give him any higher praise for his care of me and the rest of the team on the Greenward Ward are also excellent 10/10!!!

I went in for pain killing injections in my back. Dr Kandikattu was on hand before, during after the procedure.
He was communicative before, explaining what we were planning to do, what the benefits would be and also any potential side effects.
During the procedure his time are slick and efficient, keeping my comfort at the forefront of the whole procedure. His team are very personable and help put you at ease.
I had 8 injections and I only felt one of them. During the procedure he explained exactly what he was about to do before he did. He offered to stop at anytime and said my comfort was paramount.
I wa then taken care of by the nurses extremely well while I reacclimatised. Dr Kandikattu checked on me before I left.
This is the NHS working at its caring, efficient best. I hope I don’t need to go back again but I would have no fears if I did. Dr Kandikattu is a true gentleman

Dr Kandikattu is one of the kindest and caring doctor,s I have ever meet I would recommend him anyone who is suffering pain he makes you feel at ease and most of all you can tell he cares about you as a person.
As for making a constructive suggestions as things stand within the NHS at this time I don't see how you can improve but a larger Theatre would help as they seem a little crowded.

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.
