i have seen Dr Kandikattu on several occasions, and I have found him very polite and caring. He understands your pain and is very sympathetic. He explains everything in terms you can understand (not medical jargon) which instills my confidence and trust in him. He also has a wicked sense of humour but at the same time extremely professional.
All of Dr Kandikattus team are so happy in their work which tells me he is a good man to work for.
Dr Kandikattu is a thorough gentleman, and if I ever have to have my procedure done again I would have no hesitation in seeing him.

Dr Kandikattu is approachable and explains everything in a way that a lay person can understand. He treats the whole person not just the problem you have been referred for.
He is caring and informative, going that extra mile to make sure you are completely aware of why you have been given the treatment you have received.

Dr S Kandikattu is amazing, very informative, understanding and attentive during consultation and procedures. I wouldn’t be at the stage I am now without his care.

I am 70 and have chronic arthritis and PMR. I am taking Methotrexate and reducing in steroids and have a weekly pain patch too . So pleased to have been directed to a most pleasant Doctor. Kandikattu for the first time through my GP and he has made a big difference in reducing major pain points in my neck and back through targeted injections, which were not painful and certainly worth having. He explained everything clearly on first consultation and gave me a through examination, taking a detailed history. Thereafter the procedure where Dr. K was reassuringly checking on my welfare and finally a visit where I gave my update sharing how I felt the injections had helped? It was stated if ever I needed to come back just go through my GP again. I went away knowing for my part, as discussed, that I should exercise sensibly within my limitations along with physiotherapy where necessary to help myself. I am glad I went and sleep the better for it.

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.
