About Dr. David Porter
Dr. David Porter is an internationally renowned senior football and sports medicine physician specialising in all aspects of orthobiologics. David is one of the Founding Directors of Opus and is responsible for overseeing the clinical team and developing our stem cell service. David qualified from University College London Medical School and following training in emergency and intensive care medicine he was appointed to the post of Club Doctor at Chelsea FC in 2011 overseeing the care of academy and reserve team players.
During his time at Chelsea FC he studied Sports and Exercise Medicine at leading institutions both in the UK and Europe and served on the faculty of FA pitch side emergency medicine courses. Dr Porter was appointed to the role of Men’s First Team Doctor at Chelsea FC in the 2015/2016 season working daily with the team and all the staff at the training ground as well as travelling domestically and internationally to attend games and tours, working with the FA in the UK and UEFA and FIFA to ensure player wellness, safety and health.
As a strong advocate for a non-surgical approach to joint and muscle pathology Dr Porter has been able to translate the advances in this field to revolutionise our approach to medicine with novel therapies.
His work in the field of orthobiologics continues at Opus today, utilising the potential of therapies such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cells. Dr Porter has brought allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell therapy to the UK by working with the regulatory bodies to ensure patient safety and treatment success.
From his time at Chelsea FC Dr Porter provides a comprehensive medical assessment of each patients condition ranging from analysis of blood bio markers, imaging, performance testing alongside the musculoskeletal assessment to make sure that the patient receives a treatment plan tailored not only to their condition but to them as a whole.
Following an exceptional career at the highest level in professional football Dr. Porter has translated much of his elite sports medicine experience to a wider patient focus.

Brilliant member of doctors within Hooke with an amazing support and understanding of patients needs.
I just desired to take some time out and extend my wholehearted thanks to everyone involved in our recent ordeal. Craig and I had quite a scary medical episode recently, as only our nearest and dearest will know. Hearing the C word by out local GP is like listening to a death knell that reverberates in your veins and suddenly sucks away the very life out of you. It's a moment when your whole world just crashes down, and life feels like it's stopped. Your worst fears pass through your mind. First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude towards Dr. D Porter, who was nothing less than a beacon of hope in a time fraught with darkness. His comfort in communication, along with his steadfast dedication towards our case, was a solace amidst the storm. Similarly, Laura, his receptionist,l has been absolutely wonderful and helpful throughout the process. It's gratifying to see her efficiency and enthusiasm in troubling times like these. It takes a special kind of person to still smile and help others when the world around is in chaos. The short waiting time for the results felt like an eternity never the less and were utterly heart-wrenching. Yet, as fate would have it, we were blessed with some good news- every cloud does have a silver lining. although not life threatening we have still investing to do but the the darkest sinister outcome was ruled out! We owe our peace of mind to Dr. Porter, Laura, and their wonderful team. They are genuine warriors fighting on the front lines, and no words will ever be enough to thank them for their enormous contributions to by...
Read moreDr Porter quickly got to the root cause of my knee pain and I have a comprehensive road map to recovery. Delighted to have found Opus!
I saw Dr Porter because I have been having recurrent shoulder problems for years. I’ve seen everyone and anyone because I’ve been so desperate to get back to playing tennis with my son. Nothing was helping but Dr Porter got to the bottom of the problem and put a treatment plan with injections and physiotherapy in place. I’m back to tennis and can do press ups for the first time in 4 years. Thank you!
Was recommended to see the team at Opus by a friend as I’d wanted to change my lifestyle. Dr Porter walked me through the process and put a support network around me to make it all possible. Thank you
Dr Porter is a consummate professional, made me feel at ease and addressed my issue with speed and skill.
Slick, convenient, caring and considerate. Bespoke care! Well done Opus
