Dr. Ted Lambert is a native of Salisbury, Maryland and 1992 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering and played varsity basketball. After medical school and orthopedic surgery residency training, Dr. Lambert completed a one-year fellowship in adult reconstructive surgery, specializing in hip and knee replacement, at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, which has repeatedly been named the #1 orthopedic hospital in the country. Fellowship-trained surgeons have completed the highest level of training for joint replacement surgery. Dr. Lambert is board-certified in both orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, and is a fellow of the prestigious American Academy of Hip and Knee Surgeons.
Prior to his retirement from active-duty in 2016, Dr. Lambert served in the military as a Navy doctor for over 20 years. His military service included the following assignments: Medical Officer-USS Trenton (LPD-14); Orthopedic Surgeon, Combat Logistics Battalion-8, Fallujah, Iraq, in support of Iraqi Freedom; and forward deployments to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was stationed at Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth, where he was head of the Adult Reconstructive Surgery Service for 11 years and taught the latest hip and knee replacement techniques to the next generation of orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Lambert was chosen as Residency Teacher of the Year in 2014.
Since entering private practice, Dr. Lambert has primarily focused his surgical practice on knee and hip replacement. He specializes in both the medical and surgical treatment of hip and knee arthritis. Coastal Virginia magazine has recognized Dr. Lambert as one of it’s “Top Doctors” in its annual survey of local physicians. He is continually evaluating the latest research and techniques – including knee replacement WITHOUT a tourniquet and bikini incision anterior hip replacement.
Dr. Lambert has seen total joint replacement from both the surgeon’s viewpoint as well as from the viewpoint of his older relatives who have received total joint replacement surgeries. It is the family member’s perspective which most informs Dr. Lambert’s understanding of a patient’s surgical experience, so he strives to treat each patient as he would want his family member to be treated.
Outside of work, Ted enjoys traveling, weight training and distance running with his wife, their adult daughters, family and friends. His quest to qualify for the Boston Marathon helped him complete 7 marathons including the 2014 Boston. He is a long-time fan of the Baltimore Orioles.
“From the time I scheduled my initial consultation and then surgery and then after care, everything has been professional and prompt and Dr. Lambert was so thorough in his care and just like my hip surgery, my knee surgery has been, I just want to say flawless and I have made tremendous recovery. I’ve had amazing support from all the staff. I’ve had checkup calls and maintenance calls and the rehab that they recommended was excellent and I would definitely refer anyone, whether family or not, to Dr. Lambert.”
“Dr. Lambert is a wonderful skilled surgeon and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to complete both of my total knee replacements. I am very grateful and would only like to thank him 1 million times and more for the wonderful job. He has done him and his team have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable during my surgery and recovery. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Lambert.”
“Dr. Lambert is very thorough, told me exactly what was wrong with my knee, told me the options as well as gave me the x-rays. He was very thorough and complete and showed a lot of concern towards me.”
“Excellent appointment. Dr. Lambert explains anatomy and orthopedic issues in easy to understand terms. I think he is an expert in his specialty and I trust his advice. I also like that he has read my history and test results before he enters the exam room – I feel that I am getting his complete attention. My wife and I recommend him to everyone!”
“Dr. Lambert took his time to explain what has happened with first replacement and how the second will be different. He understands my “need” to get back to competitive race walking. He talked about the increase in leg length and longer recovery.”
