Why patients from Noosa choose Dr Coory.

Noosa has a significant population of active retirees and recreational athletes, many of whom develop shoulder conditions that benefit from specialist assessment. Having consulting rooms available locally in Noosaville means patients can be seen, examined, and have a treatment plan established without an initial trip south. For many conditions, non-operative management can be coordinated entirely from the Noosa rooms.

When surgery is indicated, suitable day procedures can be performed locally at Noosa Day Hospital in Noosaville, where patients go home the same day. Operations that need a hospital stay are performed at Buderim Private Hospital or Maroochy Private Hospital. He 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, including shoulder arthroplasty and arthroscopic reconstruction.

Post-operative follow-up can often be managed through telehealth or at the Noosa rooms, reducing the number of trips required during the recovery period. Dr Coory's team can also coordinate imaging and physiotherapy referrals with local Noosa providers to keep the recovery pathway as convenient as possible.
