Sports Consultations and Sports Medicine
Queenstown Medical Centre provides a dedicated sports medicine clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of sports related injuries and illnesses including nutritional and rehab advice. Being based in New Zealand's adventure capital has meant that Queenstown Medical Centre has a long tradition of treating sports related injuries.

Most of the GP's in our clinic started their Queenstown careers with involvement as Ski field Doctors. As a result, several Queenstown Doctors have pursued this further with postgraduate training. Doctors Sonja Sparrow, Milne Simpson and Tonya Southall have decided to start a dedicated clinic to deal with all aspects of sports medicine. Alongside the Doctors there will be physiotherapist Anthony Bush and dietician Helen Reid to assist with complete rehab and training issues.

The clinic makes full use of laboratory and X-ray facilities already available at QMC. The clinic runs fortnightly. Please contact QMC reception for more information or your own health provider for a referral.
