- 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 price of mind. So here's a big thank you from the bottom of my heart, for keeping our ship afloat and guiding us through the storm. You wonderful humans are our heroes!
- Outstanding in every way! Dr Porter’s knowledge, expertise and kindness led to a drop in average glucose levels from 8.9 to 6.1 in 15 months. No medication, just carefully monitored changes to diet and eating habits. A great team at Opus Biological. Thank you so much!

At a point where my confidence was low following a collapse while out walking he assured me “ we will get to the bottom of this.” 3 months later both confidence and health have returned.Doctor's response -Thank you so much for the review. We truly value your kind words and love having you as a patient of Opus!
