Mr. Lambert put me at ease immediately and I had no worries about having a shoulder replacement. The operation was hugely successful with superb care from both Mr. Lambert and the nursing staff at Bushey Spire Hospital. As I live a distance away from the hospital, my physiotherapy was carried out near my home under guidance from Mr. Lambert and his team. I cannot praise my complete treatment enough and feel extremely lucky to have had Mr. Lambert recommended to me by a friend, another very contented patient. I could not have had any better care.

Having dislocated my shoulder on several occasions in my early years and because of a recent dislocation due to a fall, I decided to have a second opinion and on the advice of my physiotherapist, and two family members who recommended Mr Lambert, I travelled south to Bushey Spires hospital. From the time I booked the appointment with Mr Lambert's secretary who made me feel very much at ease to the actual consultation, I felt relieved. This experience was the total opposite of the previous consultation with another consultant. I am confident that I have selected the right person now to advise and if necessary operate on my shoulder. I felt that Mr Lambert understood my concerns, he was a gentleman, he listened, it goes without saying that he is an expert but he never made me feel that my concerns did not matter. I didn't feel rushed or unimportant. My Physio. liked how Mr. lambert participated on this website and therefore he could view the ratings by patients . In my experience I found Mr Lambert to be honest, caring, accommodating, approachable and competent.

I attended Mr Simon Lambert's clinic for advice on a diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica and the recommended use of steroids about which I was uneasy.
Mr Lambert put me through several visual tests and concluded that I do not have 'frozen shoulder' , nor degenerative arthritis in either joint, and concluded that my problem might have been caused by some intensive exercise in the gym I had been taking. He recommended repeating the blood tests I had taken and a special referral to physiotherapy and said that he shared my reservations about going onto steroids.
I found this consultation highly professional and most reassuring

Mr Lambert's great skill as a surgeon is matched by his pre- and post-operative care. After a thorough investigation into my shoulder problem he explained the situation in terms a layman could understand, and set out the options I had. After further discussion we opted for a total shoulder replacement. The operation was done at Spire Bushey, where I received the best possible care from Mr Lambert and the hospital's nursing team. A year on, I have been discharged from Mr Lambert's care after a final X-ray and examination. I am left with new shoulder with good range of motion, and strength very nearly equal to the other shoulder, with a barely-visible scar. I expect continued improvement, helped by dedicated exercises. I cannot think of any way in which Mr Lambert could offer better care.

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.
