Meet our New Doctor!

Kimberly R. Fernandes  MD, CCFP
​

Introduction
Hi, my name is Kimberly Fernandes and I am the new sports physician at Physio Sport Med. I want to take some time to introduce myself, as well as the role of sport medicine physicians, in helping you, whether you are a full-time athlete, a weekend warrior or are just looking to treat chronic musculoskeletal issues.

Education
I completed my Doctor of Medicine degree at McMaster University’s Niagara regional campus in 2015. I then moved back home to Mississauga to complete my Family Medicine Residency training at the University of Toronto’s Trillium Mississauga site. I acted as chief resident during my final year and did research on wellness among medical trainees. I have also attended the Ontario Medical Association’s Sport Med Conference in the last few years to keep up with current innovations in the field.

Experience
During my many years of medical training, I have always been interested in sports medicine. I have spent time in many sports clinics, and with many rehabilitation specialists including physiatrists, neurologists, physiotherapists, athletic therapists, and chiropractors. I have also provided medical coverage at sporting events including the Skate Canada World Junior Synchronized Skating Championships and the Little League Ontario Baseball Provincial Championships.

How I Can Help You
As a sports physician, I treat a variety of issues that range from sports-related injuries to chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis. Whether you are looking to overcome an injury and get back into sport, or to find alternative solutions to long-standing issues, I, as a sports physician, am here to guide you. I am also trained to do joint and other soft tissue injections as indicated for treatment. If you have an issue you would like to discuss, call or drop by the clinic to inquire about an appointment. Visits to a sport medicine specialist are covered fully by OHIP, and while a referral note is always appreciated (as the referring doctor can provide necessary information about your current health status and imaging results), it is not required to book an appointment with me. 

​I look forward to meeting you!
