Dr Porter was superb, I attended Opus following a recommendation from a friend and have been blown away by the level of care I have received. I have a complex medical history and have seen various experts and Dr Porter was able to very quickly rationalise all of the information into a very clear plan.
Thank you so much for the review. Looking forward to working with you as we get you better at Opus!

Having a PRP and hyaluronic acid injection has given me near immediate pain relief and given me back my life. I can function again. I can go up and down stairs without pain or holding onto railings or bannisters for the first time in years. I can look after my 4 grandchildren without daily pain and I can do activities with them that I couldn’t do before. This is fantastic. Thank you Dr Porter and the team at Opus!
