Your nearest consulting rooms.

Dr Coory's nearest consulting rooms to Hervey Bay are at Level 1, Noosa Civic Medihub, 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville QLD 4566, roughly two and a half hours south by road. The drive is straightforward: south on the Bruce Highway through Maryborough and Gympie to the Noosa area. Dr Coory also consults at Level 9, Maroochy Private Hospital, 12 Future Way, Maroochydore.

For patients who prefer to reduce travel, Dr Coory offers telehealth consultations for initial assessments, imaging review, and post-operative follow-up. A physical examination at the Noosaville or Maroochydore rooms will be required before surgery is planned, but many appointments in the overall care pathway can be conducted remotely.

Why patients from Hervey Bay choose Dr Coory.

Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast have a significant retiree and semi-retired population, many of whom develop shoulder conditions — particularly rotator cuff disease and shoulder arthritis — as they age. Dr Coory's Sunshine Coast practice is limited to the shoulder, elbow and upper limb, and includes Mako robotic-assisted reverse shoulder replacement. Telehealth is available to reduce the number of trips.

Dr Coory completed a subspecialty fellowship in shoulder and upper limb surgery (Bateman Orthopaedics Advanced Arthroplasty and Trauma Fellowship) and was the first surgeon on the Sunshine Coast to perform Mako robotic-assisted total shoulder replacement. His practice is limited to the shoulder, elbow and upper limb. For Fraser Coast patients, imaging can be arranged before the first appointment and follow-up can often be done by telehealth, so the number of trips is kept to a minimum.

Telehealth is a practical part of the pathway for Hervey Bay patients. An initial telehealth consultation allows Dr Coory to review your imaging, discuss your symptoms, and determine whether surgery is appropriate — all before you make the drive south. Post-operative reviews can also be conducted via telehealth where clinically suitable, reducing the total number of trips required.
