I have seen Mr Lambert recently for shoulder surgery. This was conducted at a time and place to suit me. Mr Lambert has a very kind and friendly bedside manner and listens to you the patient. He clearly described the planned procedure and the benefits as well as what to expect with regards recovery time. His secretary is also a delight to deal with and cannot be faulted.
I would recommend this consultant highly without hesitation.

Mr Simon Lambert performed repair surgery to very severely damaged right shoulder rotator cuff ligaments some 11 years ago.
The quality of the preoperative examination was precise and considerate; the actual surgical repair was prefect with 100% return to normal function; post operative supervision was superb.
The shoulder function has remained totally functional ever since the surgery and I am able to perform previous sports with bow and arrow, swimming and shooting with no awareness that surgery has even been undertaken.
Recently, I represented for treatment to Mr Lambert for left ulnar nerve entrapment producing cubital tunnel syndrome; the condition was investigated following neurophysiological conduction and muscle tests to my left hand.
I had previously been advised that ulnar nerve repositioning surgery may be indicated as the correct treatment. After very careful examination in clinic, Mr Lambert determined that a very conservative approach would be the best way forward and that surgery would best not be considered at this stage. The conservative treatment measures he prescribed are proving successful and the condition will be reviewed in April 2019.
In my opinion, Mr Lambert is the epitome of the perfect clinician. He provides extraordinarily successful surgery when the need arises, but also provides an accurate conservative management plan if the condition can best be treated conservatively.
His professional, ethical and clinical excellence attributes are second to none and maybe considered as a role model for his students. He is sincerely sympathetic to his patients' condition and treats them as if he were treating his own family. He is a rare and fine doctor.
I am a retired surgeon and do not make this reference to him lightly ... I am in his debt.

Mr Lambert was recommended to us by another surgeon because of his expertise and depth of experience to provide his advice on the complex problems relating to my teenager daughter’s dislocating shoulder. The administration for our appointment was extremely efficient and fitted in at very short notice. Mr Lambert is kind and polite and has an excellent manner and a very good approach for engaging with teenagers. My daughter felt very comfortable speaking with Mr Lambert to explain her condition and how she felt and also to be examined. Mr Lambert is a good listener and takes an holistic approach; he was sensitive enough to spend time to understand the stress caused by our daughter’s condition and its impact on her life at school, for activities and at home, as well as focussing on the issue itself, diagnosis and plans for treatment. The questions and examination were very thorough indeed and Mr Lambert spent over an hour with us. We were able to follow his explanation of what he had found and he was happy to answer questions. The report that followed was timely and pages long, setting out in some detail the explanations we had given and the analysis of the condition following his examination and suggestion of next steps.
I would highly recommend Mr Lambert.

If only all Consultants were like Mr Lambert! Mr Lambert came highly recommended by other previous patients he has treated. I was very impressed with his manner and detailed explanation of my injury. From the initial consultation I felt confident that I was being treated by someone who took great care of his patients.

I first tried to make an appointment with Mr. Lambert during the Christmas period in 2018. I was not sure that I would be able to get an appointment quickly but through his friendly and helpful secretary, I got an appointment. I had been told that Mr. Lambert is arguably the no 1 specialist for shoulder and elbow injuries.
Not only did i get an appointment, but Mr. Lambert arranged it so that I would have an appointment at a location closer to home for me, allowing for easy travel.
On the day of the appointment, Mr. Lambert came out to the waiting room, helping me with my bag and coat.
I find him to be pleasant, professional and patient. Not only is he a good doctor but is a good listener and full of helpful suggestions.

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.
