I cannot recommend Mr Simon Lambert highly enough. Both his pre and post-operation care was outstanding. He was very respectful, attentive and took the time to understand why the shoulder trauma had happened in the first place in the context of the wider relevant picture of my age, health, work/home life. He carefully explained what my condition might be looking at the MRI scan. He then talked me through the options of key hole or open surgery and what the prognosis, pros and cons of each might be. He was careful not to make false promises and managed my expectations of outcomes and therefore allowed me to consider all the options and make an informed decision. The surgery turned out to be rather complicated once the shoulder had been opened up and again, post-op he took the time to visit and explain in full what he had done surgically. I found his support staff to be excellent and efficient too and I received prompt and full written reports after each meeting. Mr Lambert provided clear instructions for physiotherapy to ensure gentle progress and a good outcome. Five months post-op I had a second consultation and have been discharged. Shoulder surgery if fairly unpleasant in terms of the recovery but I felt well informed and well looked after so that this made the process so much more manageable and was I am presuming quicker too as a result. If you are requiring shoulder surgery then do not hesitate to consider Mr Lambert as your consultant/surgeon. I have every confidence that he will never perform unnecessary surgery and always has the patients best interests at heart (e.g. I had to undergo more invasive open surgery as this was the best option for me rather than the 'popular' key hole surgery).
