Your nearest consulting rooms.

For patients in the Caboolture and Moreton Bay growth corridor, this is a straightforward drive that avoids Brisbane traffic entirely. The Bruce Highway connects directly to the Sunshine Coast Motorway, bringing you to the Birtinya hospital precinct without navigating inner-city roads.

Shoulder conditions we treat.

Dr Coory is a fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon treating the full spectrum of shoulder pathology. Whether your shoulder problem stems from progressive arthritis, a sporting injury, or gradual tendon degeneration, the same subspecialist standard of care is available to patients travelling from Morayfield.

Shoulder procedures.

Dr Coory operates at Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital (Birtinya), Buderim Private Hospital, and Maroochy Private Hospital — all equipped with the Mako robotic platform for shoulder replacement. Morayfield patients who require surgery travel to one of these facilities for their procedure and can complete post-operative follow-up via telehealth where clinically appropriate.

Why patients from Morayfield choose Dr Coory.

Morayfield sits at the heart of one of South-East Queensland's fastest-growing population corridors. The suburb and its neighbours — Caboolture, Burpengary, Narangba — are well served by GPs and general hospitals, but there is no dedicated shoulder subspecialist in the immediate area. Patients requiring specialist shoulder assessment have traditionally been referred south into the Brisbane public and private systems, where surgical waiting lists can be lengthy and appointments difficult to schedule.

By heading north instead, Morayfield patients reach Dr Coory's Birtinya rooms in roughly the same time it takes to drive into central Brisbane — without the congestion of the Gateway or inner-city hospital precincts. Dr Coory completed a subspecialty fellowship in shoulder and upper limb surgery and was the first surgeon on the Sunshine Coast to perform Mako robotic-assisted total shoulder replacement. His practice is built entirely around the shoulder, meaning patients see a surgeon whose daily caseload is focused on the problem they are presenting with.

For patients who need surgery, all three of Dr Coory's operating hospitals sit within the Sunshine Coast region, each with the Mako robotic platform available. Post-operative follow-up can be managed through a combination of in-person reviews at Birtinya and telehealth consultations, keeping the travel burden as low as possible for patients who live in the Moreton Bay corridor.
