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

Mr Sam Dobson

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I first saw Dr Dobson in mid-June after realising, at the ripe age of 44, that I was showing clear signs of perimenopause. My NHS GP wasn't taking my concerns seriously at all. I was basically told I was too young and should try meditation. (Not sure how that's meant to help with night sweats, but there we are). From the minute I sat down with Dr Dobson, the experience was completely different. He was patient, thorough, and most importantly, he actually listened. He took my symptoms seriously and helped me figure out what mattered most to improve my day-to-day life. We agreed on a treatment plan and a clear follow-up process, which immediately gave me a lot more confidence. At my first review, he quickly identified what was and wasn't working and adjusted the medication without any fuss. During my final consultation, he even noticed something I'd brushed off as insignificant (a bit of irritation from the adhesive on the HRT patch) and explained that I didn't have to tolerate it. He offered an alternative straight away. It sounds small, but it really showed how much he pays attention and genuinely wants your treatment to work properly, not "good enough", which as women we learn to do with our health at a very young age. I've now been handed back to my NHS GP for the ongoing prescription, which is exactly the outcome I hoped for. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Dr Dobson in future if I needed to. He made a stressful and frankly dismissive experience elsewhere feel manageable, and I'm really grateful for that.

Mr Joseph Manjaly

ENT Surgeon

We had the pleasure to meet Dr Manjaly as the consultant surgeon who conducted a hearing implant (bone conduction) operation for our son. Our son was 15 years old at the time of the operation and had a magnetic Oticon Sentio implant to help him with his left single sided deafness. Dr Manjaly took great care of our son since the very first appointment at the NHS Royal ENT hospital. He explained everything about this type of hearing aid benefits, about the operation risks in a friendly, respectful, professional manner and was readily available when needed. Our son is very happy with the new Oticon Sentio mini, as he has already seen a significant improvement in his hearing and wears it most hours every day. It's also completely hidden underneath his relatively short hair which is a must have for any teenager.

Mr Colin Weir

General Surgeon

I recently had foam sclerotherapy on my veins with Mr Weir, and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed. He was exceptional from start to finish. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and informed, and the whole procedure involved minimal pain. The results are amazing — I’m so glad I decided to go ahead with it. He couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful throughout the entire process. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. If you’re considering treatment, you’ll be in the very best hands with Mr Weir.

Mr Tony Nargol

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Nargol has replaced both my knees and my left hip in the last 5 years. He is truly amazing and I can't thank him enough for giving me my life back. On all 3 occasions, Mr Nargol and all of the team at the Nuffield, Norton have looked after me so well. They are kind, friendly, professional and very knowledable. I have gone from being in severe pain and unable to walk even a short distsnce to being able to spend whole days on my feet again. I truly owe a huge debt of gratitude to Mr Nargol and the Nuffield team

Norfolk Menopause

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I would advise any menopausal women who may need help to come to the Cora menopausal clinic. Emily was absolutely amazing from the moment I walked into her room and till when I left. The knowledge was out of this world. Emily reassured me and listened and understood. I took away so much from this one visit and am very thankful. My symptoms were getting to the stage where I was struggling to cope with everyday life. I’m a few weeks down the road and have been on HRT and feel so much better. Thank you Emily.

Miss Claire Mellon & Associates

Holistic Therapy, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 1 more

Dr Karolina Afors is highly skilled and took plenty of time to read through my pages and pages of notes at our first appt. After being dismissed by other doctors, she was a breath of fresh air with lots of ideas, and she was invested in helping me get my life back from pain. The medicines she has prescribed me for my endometriosis have changed my life and she always has a range of suggestions for symptom management of many conditions. Cannot recommend her enough. I've got my life back with her help.

All in all a fantastic experience dealing with the Forbury Clinic, I had a vasectomy procedure and dealt with surgeon Paul Hadway and his team who were great, from my first consultation to the actual procedure Paul put me at complete ease, from start to finish it’s been a pleasure dealing with him and the Forbury Clinic, I only wish now that I had the procedure carried out many years ago. If anyone is thinking about having a vasectomy I would 100% recommend Paul and his Team at The Forbury Clinic.

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.

Dr Kash Akhtar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Akhtar recently performed knee surgery on my son, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care he provided. From the very beginning, he explained everything clearly and patiently, making sure we understood each step of the process. His knowledge and professionalism were evident throughout, Thanks to his skill and expertise, my son’s surgery went smoothly, and his recovery has been excellent. I would highly recommend Mr. Akhtar to anyone in need of orthopaedic care.

Lanthorn Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

I had an injury last year on my left calf alongside recurring main in my right foot so wanted to get them checked. Dr Lord effectively assessed my calf, showed a very small tear, and then looked at my feet and told me there’s minor thickening in one of the tendons, which wouldn’t require any intervention but recommended physio for both including some effective stretching. Now I’ve got my report I can give to my physio and monitor it more effectively ACTUALLY knowing what’s wrong.

Mr Fadi Al-Fhaily

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Al-Fhaily was so reassuring at all times. I was worried that I was perhaps wasting his time, but he was patient and reassuring at every step. He helped me to understand that my condition was not unusual, more common than women my age are aware of. Yet, I had left it so long before asking for help. He gave me lots of useful links and advice too. The solution was more simple than I'd dared to hope and I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism and time.

Dr Khaled Ayazi

Pain Management Specialist

Dr Ayazi has been the friendliest, kindest and most helpful doctor that I have ever came across. From the first time I had an appointment with him until the latest one, he has always been thorough and explained everything clearly and made sure that I understood everything before I left. I have had 2 procedures done with him, both of which have been successful - he made sure I was ok all the way through and made sure that I was being looked after.

Experts in Skin and Hair

Dermatology

I had a raised spot on my arm which was diagnosed as actinic keratosis- precancerous cells. GP recommend cream but didn’t want to use due to side effects. Dr Gupta was very professional and had a very caring and kind disposition. She used cryotherapy on the area which was only mildly uncomfortable for a few seconds and then checked the rest of my body for me. Thoroughly recommend and have booked my husband for a body check! Thank you ☺️

Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital

Breast Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 19 more

Overall my first appointment at Spire Lea hospital was a satisfactory experience. At the reception I was quickly registered as an insurance patient. The waiting time was not very long. The duration of the appointment was long enough to cover all my questions, explain my problem and get a gynaecology examination by the doctor with help of a female assistant. The doctor explained to me a treatment to follow to alleviate my symptoms.

Skin Inspection

Dermatology, Gastroenterology, + 1 more

Incredibly professional set-up. Staff were friendly, welcoming, informative making you feel you were in good hands. Everything was calm and relaxed. I have used another consultant in the past but always felt I was inconveniencing him with my queries. That was not the case with Dr Muirhead and Sam who took time to listen to my concerns, examine and then treat. An exemplary service that I would wholeheartedly recommend.
