Mr Simon Lambert

Orthopaedic Surgeon

MR LAMBERT SAVED ME (Enrico's testimonial) My name is Enrico, I am a 25 year old who had been suffering from constant rear shoulder pain (right shoulder) since 19 years old. For years I had struggled with intense DEEP shoulder pain in the back of my shoulder. Everything had caused intense pain! Wearing jackets, pouches, rucksacks, running, weight lifting, swimming. As a young man I was troubled deeply by this and was in CONSTANT mental and physical Pain due to this. Over the 6 year span, I had done 4 Ultrasounds, 2 MRI's , 1 MR Arthrogram, 2 steroid injections, done countless physio sessions and visited an osteopath to NO AVAIL. I was told my shoulder was completely healthy, no sign of deterioration and I just needed to strengthen my rotator cuff. In 2024, aware that I will have to step up my treatments if I ever wanted to fix this, (before I saw Simon Lambert) I had booked a consultation with a well known and highly rated shoulder orthopaedic through Nuffield Health. He advised an MR arthrogram, which had come back with no evident damage. He had noted there was nothing wrong with the shoulder, declared I was hypermobile and sent me to physio. After months of reluctant physio (I had done physio since 19 and knew it wasnt the answer) I had booked an appointment with another orthopaedic consultant - again with almost perfect ratings on here. This individual had completely agreed with the initial consultation that there was nothing wrong and I was just hypermobile (they said I would eventually grow out of this). This however did not make sense to me as all my other joints felt completely ok. Feeling rather defeated I had carried on with my physio, feeling I would never get through this and have a normal painless shoulder I become hopeless. As things didnt improve the second orthopaedic had took my case to a South West regional surgeons meeting, explained my situation in an attempt to find a working solution with 15/16 other surgeons. ALL THE ORTHOPAEDICS HAD AGREED THAT THEY WOULD NOT OPERATE ON ME. I was too young to have a deteriorating shoulder and there was 'nothing' wrong with me that a surgery would repair. Plus many surgeons wouldn't go near a hypermobile shoulder. You can only imagine the impact this would have on a young man who just wanted to live a normal life. I was devastated to put it mildly. I did not give up, I had done further research and stumbled upon Mr Lambert. Having a lack of faith due to my previous experiences with this, I had studied Mr Lambert and his work before I had booked the initial consultation. I had studied his reviews and was fascinated by how sincere his client testimonials were, it seemed he was an individual who just wanted to help people get back to their normal lives. His mannerisms and knowledge in his youtube videos had amazed me and he seemed a true master in his craft. I booked the initial consultation. I cant put into words the contrast in compassion between Mr Lambert and the previous orthopaedics I had seen. Mr Lambert was patient, humble and kind. He had done a physical assessment of my shoulder in the consultation and reviewed the results of my previous scan. He put my mind at ease immediately, he understood how tough this journey was for me and could see my emotion. He noted that from my symptoms his experience had alluded that it was likely that there was some form of structural damage even though the scans didn't clearly point to that. He said the only way to know for sure was to perform an investigation surgery (arthroscopy) to find out. (To many a surgery was something to avoid however I was so determined to fix this that I was ecstatic to think we were one step closer to figuring this out!) We had therefore moved forward with the investigation surgery, Mr Lambert and his Anaesthetist (Dr Picard) were superb before and after the surgery. As this was my first surgery I was evidently very nervous and they had made me feel relaxed. Post surgery Mr Lambert had come into my recovery room and after making sure I was ok, disclosed the results of this surgery. I had indeed had a 7-11 o'clock rear labrum tear on my right shoulder. The shoulder capsule was also very very loose. He would need to perform a rear stabilisation surgery that consisted of a labrum repair and a tightening of the capsule also known as a capsular shift. I was over the moon to see an end in sight! A couple months later (April 2025) we did the surgery (went perfectly) and I am currently over 7 months into my recovery. It has been a slow process of physio but `I can now see a humongous difference to pre-surgery. I can finally wear jumpers and bags and can slowly get back into physical training, I have not had any flare ups in the last month and not in that constant deep pain! I still have a little way to go but I am so grateful that Mr Lambert took the chance to help me when so many had not. I am eternally grateful to this man. This man is not only an experienced professional but a true gentleman. I would choose him every time! Thank you so much Mr Lambert. You have helped me more than you could ever realise. Forever grateful Enrico

CP+R

Cardiology, Sports & Exercise Medicine

I had a fantastic experience with CR+P's cardiac rehabilitation.programme. From the very beginning, it was clear this was not a one-size-fits-all programme; it was meticulously tailored to my specific health needs, which made me feel incredibly safe and supported throughout my recovery journey. Each training session was professionally delivered, well-structured, and very informative. I could feel the tangible results week-on-week. It was incredibly motivating to feel my cardio condition noticeably improving with each session, a testament to the programme's effectiveness. Lizzie was absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable which made the training sessions both highly effective and fun. She was always happy to explain not just what exercise we were doing, but why we were doing it, which was so empowering. She seamlessly integrated practical dietary advice and set clear, achievable tasks and goals between sessions, keeping me engaged and motivated.. I wholeheartedly recommend CR+P's cardiac rehabilitation programme to anyone seeking a structured, supportive, and truly transformative path to better heart health. It has equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to manage my health long-term

Mr John Terrace

General Surgeon

I have recently visited Mr Terrace following some symptoms in my lower abdomen that I needed to understand better and in particular to see whether they could be related to a hernia procedure that I had undertaken earlier in the year. Mr Terrace listened attentively to my prognosis which we then discussed before he physically examined me. Following the examination we discussed his findings which ruled out a re-occurrence of my hernia and also discussed what could be causing my symptoms and how this can be managed moving forward which gave me a great deal of reassurance. Mr Terrace was exactly as he had been on my previous meetings leaving me comfortable that I was receiving the best consultation available which was delivered in a professional and very friendly and engaging manner

Abbington House

Holistic Therapy, Psychiatry, + 1 more

I walked into Abbington House at rock bottom physically and mentally. The staff were very friendly, understanding, caring and reassuring. Making me feel calm and at ease. I have made significant progress and I am leaving a different person with new tools and knowledge to help me succeed on the journey. The Abbington House clients made me feel welcome and included, extremely friendly and I am grateful to have made many friends in the 5 weeks I have been here. My incredible therapist listened, un-judgmental and emphatic to me, who's care was brilliant and I will not forget the unreplaceable advice given to me. My advice from a former patient here is if you are wiling to work hard for your recovery, you have all the tools, great professionals and environment available to you.

Dr. Osama Moussa

General Surgeon

The surgery was very efficient and I recovered well. I did find some of the administration was confusing. I had letters sent changing times and dates. My first operation was cancelled as I was about to go into theatre and then I had a letter with a new appointment which was the date of the cancelled op. Phone numbers given were for the general switchboard who had no idea where to direct my call. However Dr Moussa’s secretary was extremely efficient and helpful. She had various queries from me as I kept getting letters with different times for various tests. All the staff I saw were helpful and caring and working under a great deal of pressure.

Ms Laura Ismail

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

dr ismail is one of the best doctors i have ever seen. I am mid 20s and I feel previous doctors have dismissed my symptoms [abnormal bleeding, pain and others] but dr ismail really listens to what i say. she has diagnosed me with pcos and noticed other irregularities that caused my symptoms and is working on treating them, making sure I understand everything as we go along. she is very knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely cares about patients rather than just solving the problem. she has really helped me and also is reassuring and makes me feel calm. could not recommend more if you are looking for a smart, caring, dedicated doctor.

Mr Philip M Stott

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Knowing friends and a close family member on whom Mr Stott has operated, I was aware of his exceptional skill and keen for him to operate on me. The consultation was delightful, thorough and reassuring, in short, wholly positive. As to suggestions to other patients, this may be practicable: It helps you and the consultant to take documents showing dates of recent reports and scans relating to your condition, as you can then provide prompt answers and Mr Stott will be able to access, say, NHS information without delay.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

I saw Mr Ali Abbas recently and I was pleased with the visit. He was very thorough and explained things very clearly. He took his time to consider a differential diagnosis for my problem and the course of action he suggested has helped me feeling better after years of increasing pain. What I liked the most is that his approach was not limited to treating the symptoms now but to protect the health of my eyes in the long term. His secretary Natasha Masih-Lal was also very helpful with appointments etc.

Fit2Function

Sports & Exercise Medicine, Physiotherapy, + 2 more

Fit2function is the best physio clinic I have visited. As a sportsman, physio is an important part of my routine for both rehab and prehab. Many of the clinics I have attended don’t accommodate sports and return to play. My experience at Fit2function was great. I saw Harrison, who is an ex athlete and understood my needs well. The equipment is modern and top of the range, and the philosophy is very aligned to returning to sport and having the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend them.

Mr Karthik Karuppaiah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

As an elderly gentleman, I made an appointment with Mr Karuppaiah following a nasty fall in which I severely damaged my wrist and elbow. His attention to detail was very reassuring and my personal concerns were always discussed, with no question too small. He has a reassuring presence and gentle approach. No doubt my successful operation and recovery was down to his surgical stills and knowledge. I cannot recommend Mr Karuppaiah highly enough ‘what an excellent surgeon’.

Mr Neil Modi

Ophthalmologist

My optician diagnosed me with Narrow Angles and referred me to Neil Modi. Mr Modi explained the diagnosis, risks and treatment options and, after consideration, I opted for Lens Replacement Surgery performed by Mr Modi. The entire process from consultations, surgery, post-surgery advice and check-up appointments was professional, efficient, informative, friendly and calm. Neil Modi and his team were excellent.

Dr. Matthew Oates

General Practitioner

Just as in my last statement, Dr Oates listened so intently to whatever issues arose during the consult and provided an excellent choice of avenues to progress forward to better my health. Excellent bedside manner and was extremely attentive and eased any anxieties I had. Explained in perfect detail what I could be struggling with and made sure I understood what I could do going forward to better my health.

Thames View at Charing Cross Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, General Surgery, + 39 more

I walked up 12 floors as there were no lifts available.Only 14% capacity.I got to the Thames view suite via the cardiac lift because a cardiac unit staff member took pity on me and put me into lift 14 to complete my Access Path to the private patients unit. What on earth is going on and why does the lift maintenance contract not have a 50% minimum functionality profile as a term for service?

Spire Claremont Hospital

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology, + 13 more

The care I received from initial consultation through to pre op, to advice verbal and written, speaking to Professor Brown’s secretary with a question, the care on the day of the operation and hospital care was exemplary. Most of all is the trust and skill of Professor Brown who I would like to thank.

Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital

Cardiology, Chemical Pathology, + 9 more

10/10. If you are financially stable enough to afford this service, I would recommend. I have currently only had the initial consultation chat although I feel like I am putting my health in very capable hands and I’m positive I will continue on to have a fantastic outcome.
