I have had 2 replacement shoulders using bespoke joints by Mr Lambert. He is a top class surgeon and gave me 2 pain free shoulders where another hospital said they couldn’t do anything as it was far too complex. Mr Lambert is kind and has a brilliant bedside manner. He takes time to explain and never rushes.

Mr Lambert took great care to put put me at my ease. He performed a very comprehensive examination and at all times was sensitive to my pain levels. Mr Lambert made me feel very comfortable and took great care to listen to me. He was very kind and gave me plenty of time. I have every confidence in Mr Lambert.

Mr Lambert was just amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and after years of seeing physio's and other Consultants, he was the only one who worked out what the actual cause of the problem was finally. He was an absolute gentleman - listened carefully, understood and we were not rushed in the appointment. As a medical secretary, I have worked with a lot of different Consultants in my time and I would highly recommend Mr Lambert up there as one of, if not the best! Thank you so much Mr Lambert for all your help. Very much appreciated.

After a fall on ice I was in pain and unable to raise my arm. For months I attended clinics at Charing Cross Hospital and at St Mary's where I was ultimately told that I had a full tear to both the supraspinatus and to the subscapularis tendons and a subluxed biceps tendon. An MRI was arranged and a subequent appointment with a consultant at St Mary's who said the shoulder was beyond repair and that, at some point, l would probably need a shoulder replacement - also that I was being discharged fron the NHS. I went to see another consultant privately and he totally disagreed with the conclusion of the NHS consultant and recommended I opt for a full repair without delay, which was scheduled immediately. However, I had niggling doubts; why were the two opinions so different? A week before the scheduled surgery I went to see Mr Lambert for yet another opinion. Mr Lambert was fully prepared with my medical history and gave me the most thorough and thoughtful examination I have ever experienced. He explained with great clarity why each surgeon I had seen had been correct and why his opinion differed from both regarding the course of action I should pursue. He agreed that if he tried to repair the supraspinatus tendon it might ultimately fail (I have been a tennis player all my life and there was historic damage) and create a very stiff shoulder, but he also proposed that he could repair the subscapularis and relocate the biceps to its normal position, restoring mobility and easing shoulder pain.
I am typing this with one finger five days after Mr Lambert successfully performed the procedure. I anticipated lots more pain post-op but have managed with ice packs and paracetamol. True, sleeping well is difficult, but Mr Lambert did prepare me for a long and challenging recovery. I am certain the recovery is going so well because of the great skill of Mr Lambert and his team. I feel so very fortunate that I was referred to this great surgeon, this wonderful and caring doctor and would offer a most whole-hearted recommendation to anyone who has the opportunity to become his patient.

I first had surgery undertaken by Mr Simon Lambert in 2002. From that first meeting I was impressed with his reassuring manner and his way of explaining things in
laymans terms. I had open rotator cuff fix in 2007 which still serves me well 11 years later. In 2013 I had total left elbow replacement. At all times his personal approach and
and dedication was appreciated. In 2016. I had surgery under Mr Kia Rezajooi, Consultant Neurosurgeon at RNOH Stanmore. My first visitor after surgery whilst under recovery was Simon Lambert, who having seen my name on the list called in to see me. Myself and my family cannot emphasise enough our appreciation for the work carried out by him.

Profile
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in the shoulder and elbow. I also hold an honorary academic appointment within University College London. Having worked at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), a specialist orthopaedic hospital, where I created a research-active, educationally-acclaimed, science-based service, integrated with and recognising the extreme importance of expert rehabilitation, I have now moved to University College London Hospital. We enjoy a national reputation for clinical excellence and clinical research, which I fully expect to contribute to over the next decade. We value our national and international collaborations, and expect to develop these further with the evolution of the service. As a component of this effort my work with the AO has offered opportunities to younger colleagues while bringing the values of the AO to a wide variety of surgeons and therapists. Truly international collaboration and exchange of ideas clearly enhances and promotes the efficacy of patient-directed care and forms the basis for the motivation behind my development of the shoulder and elbow service at UCLH.
