Patient perspectives
What patients say about their experience.
Patient testimonials from Dr. Lamprecht's OSM profile. Individual experiences and outcomes vary.
I recently had surgery on my right clavicle with Dr. Derek Lamprecht, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and results. From the first consultation, he took the time to explain the procedure in detail, making sure I understood everything and felt comfortable. His background in sports medicine and experience with high-level athletes was evident, and I knew I was in great hands.
The surgery itself went incredibly smoothly, and Dr. Lamprecht’s skill and precision were clear from the start. His team at the Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center of Oregon was professional, compassionate, and attentive to my recovery needs. Dr. Lamprecht followed up personally to ensure I was healing well and provided a comprehensive recovery plan. Thanks to him, I’m back to my active lifestyle with full range of motion and no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Lamprecht to anyone needing orthopedic surgery—he is truly exceptional!
Thank you Dr. Lamprecht for fixing my shoulders!
Dr. Lamprecht is knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled. He relieved my excruciating shoulder pain. It was basically idiopathic and in the end I ended up needing exploratory surgery done on my right shoulder. He removed all the inflamed tissue he could, removed a bone spur, and resituated one of my bicep tendons to relieve pressure on it and my shoulder. I had undergone so much pain for over a year before seeing Dr. Lamprecht, was feeling so hopeless and depressed. Wished I’d seen him sooner.
Dr. Lamprecht took me seriously, listened, and used his knowledge to help me. I came out of surgery and the following physical therapy feeling so much better. To this day, years later, I still feel great! Thank you so much! I will never forget. A majorly impacting situation fixed. Thank you, thank you.
Dr. Lamprecht is the best shoulder surgeon in Portland, OR. Would recommend to anyone. Sharp and professional and competent.
Dr. Lamprecht is a fantastic surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. Takes time to explain things and ask questions. Highly recommended!
I had LABRUM shoulder surgery here , and after years of being told by doctors that the tear in my shoulder wasn’t extensive enough , I fired the last surgeon. ..made an appointment with Dr Derek Lamprecht , unfortunately the wait was a little long , but well worth the wait. After having my medical records transferred to him , his assessment was what I’d been waiting to hear for about 3 yrs, the quality of care you receive at this clinic is absolutely the best you could ever imagine. …the nurses and doctors here are amazing.
Dr Lamprecht was recommended to me by a friend and I could not be happier that I followed that recommendation. He explained everything clearly to me and answered all my questions. I had arthroscopic knee surgery and am very happy with the results. Any staff member I met at his office was extremely friendly and reassuring.
I didn’t choose Dr. Lamprecht because I had an accident and he was on-call. How lucky for me that he was the designated orthopedic surgeon that day. He is thorough, cares about his patients and, most important to me, was incredibly skillful in repairing my old bones. The icing on the cake is his staff who are helpful, reassuring, and highly responsive to his patients. The Dr. and staff all make it seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Lamprecht. If you are able to have elective surgery call him, and if it’s an emergency, hope he’s on call!
All three of my hamstring tendons ruptured due to a work injury. The Workman’s Comp doctor kept thinking it was a bad sprain. I got a recommendation to see Dr. Lamprecht. He immediately diagnosed and confirmed through MRI that it was not a sprain but ruptured. He performed surgery to reattach the hamstring tendons folowed by a Compartment Syndrome release of 2 compartments in my leg. I highly recommend him for his expertise, bedside skills and overall care/concern for his patients. I have since recommended others who have gone to him and have had the same experience and good outcomes. I commend the entire office staff as well. Thanks Dr. Lamprecht!
Dr. Lamprecht is amazing! Very understanding and hardworking. He is very much a perfectionist and his stiches look great! He’s performed several surgeries on me and he is always outstanding. His Medical Assistant is great. I’ve also had a patient go to Dr. Lamprecht she loved him as well! Best specialist!
After a shoulder injury didn’t improve, I went to great lengths to research the best doctor in the area. Dr. Lamprecht has proven himself as a caring doctor who takes his time with you to really listen. He gets my vote of trust! I certainly recommend him.
He is a great Ortho doctor. I had a great experience with him and the staff. My surgery went well for my shoulder and I would go back again if needed and would recommend others to his office as well.
