About the Business
Welcome to Sports Doctors, the largest group of doctors specializing in Sport and Exercise Medicine in the South Island of New Zealand. Located at 136 Moorhouse Avenue in Christchurch, our brand new, purpose-built facility is designed to provide you with the best care possible for your sports-related injuries and health concerns.
At Sports Doctors, our primary focus is on treating and preventing injuries, particularly those affecting joints, tendons, and muscles. Our goal is to get you back to your chosen sport, hobby, or activity in a timely and safe manner. Whether you prefer an in-person clinic visit or the convenience of Telehealth, our experienced doctors can diagnose your condition and create a personalized management plan to optimize your recovery.
In some cases, we may need to arrange imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasound scans, or MRI to accurately diagnose your condition. Additionally, blood tests may be necessary to clarify the diagnosis. We can also provide expert advice on how specific exercise programs can improve your medical problem or guide you on activities to be cautious about, especially during challenging events. Our team can even create tailored exercise prescriptions to enhance your existing medical condition or reduce the risk of long-term diseases.
In addition to exercise prescription and medications, we offer various types of injections and shockwave therapy (ESWT) for certain conditions. While we are not surgeons, we can advise you if surgery is an appropriate option and refer you to a specialist when needed. Our aim is to provide comprehensive care and ensure your optimal recovery.
At Sports Doctors, we pride ourselves on our multidisciplinary approach. We collaborate with other healthcare providers, including your GP, physiotherapist, chiropractor, or podiatrist, to deliver the best possible care for you. Regular reviews in our clinic or via Telehealth allow us to understand your problem, organize necessary diagnostic tests, and formulate a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. We will communicate this plan to you and your key healthcare providers to ensure everyone is on the same page for your recovery.
Specialist appointments with a valid referral are fully subsidized, and other doctor appointments, with or without a referral, are partially subsidized. Most treatments are covered by ACC, although some may not be. Our doctors will inform you if there are any additional costs involved in the recommended treatment. To avoid any inconvenience, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment.
If you haven't seen any healthcare provider yet, don't worry! You can phone us right now and book an appointment with one of our doctors. They can even register an ACC claim for you if appropriate. Our new clinic software ensures that each doctor has their own EDI address, allowing for efficient communication and specialized care. If you have any queries about a particular patient's care, you can directly contact the specialist's inbox.
If your patient requires immediate attention, simply direct them to the 'general' EDI, and we will take care of the rest for you. Our priority is to provide prompt and effective care for all our patients.
We are excited to welcome you to Sports Doctors and assist you in your journey towards recovery and optimal health. Our dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and administration staff, with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise, are ready to meet you in clinic or via Telehealth. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and experience the highest standard of sports and exercise medicine care in New Zealand.

Reviews
"My experience mirrors pretty much exactly the review left by Paul some months ago. I was shocked by the reception person who slouched in her seat, gave me incorrect information and generally seemed uniformed. My appointment was the first in the day but I was kept waiting 10 minutes (and I have no problem with this if there's a genuine emergency) but the doctor then arrived and promptly left to get coffee. Attitude casual to disinterested, wanted further tests (which might have been suggested over the phone). No examination or further questions. Consult over in 10 mins. Charged $110."
"Great experience. Lovely team at reception and very professional. A big shout out to doctor Fletcher who did my compartment pressure testing, he was great and very informative also very willing to help. Would definitely go back if I needed to again. If there were more stars for a review I’d give them. Thank you so much the team at sports doctors."
"Just the best! Our son suffered an ankle injury 10 day prior to leaving for the opportunity of a life time. Andrew calmed his mind, dealt with his injury and worked closely Motus Physio next door. We've put him on the plane...will let you know how he goes."
"Exceptional team, awesome experience and care given the fact you are typically referred to the team when injured and struggling. Mental and physical health and wellbeing are kept at a priority and shown from the reception door to the patient room. Shout out to Dr Chris for my care!"
"First appointment of the day, doctor already running late. Invites me in for consultation, was nice to see him browsing social (browser still open) for the 10 minutes I was waiting for him. Thoroughly disengaged throughout the whole consultation. So really, I paid $100 to wait in a waiting room and have a conversation with someone who had no interest in helping. The fact that he repeatedly suggested I take medication I told him I couldn't shows exactly how disengaged he was, and how much he wanted to get back to his social media."
