Why patients in Maroochydore choose Dr Coory.
Maroochydore is the commercial centre of the Sunshine Coast, and the opening of Maroochy Private Hospital in 2026 has brought a new level of specialist surgical infrastructure to the area. For patients living in Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland, Buderim, or the Maroochy River corridor, this means access to a dedicated shoulder surgeon who can consult and operate at the same central facility.
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 covers the full scope of shoulder surgery, from arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and instability reconstruction through to complex primary and revision shoulder arthroplasty. The Mako robotic platform is available at Maroochy Private Hospital for patients who are candidates for shoulder replacement.
Having both consulting rooms and operating theatres in Maroochydore eliminates the need to travel between locations for different stages of care. Post-operative follow-up appointments can be conducted at the same rooms, and telehealth is available for routine reviews when an in-person visit is not required.
