Why patients from Redcliffe choose Dr Coory.
Redcliffe sits between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, so patients with shoulder problems can look in either direction. Dr Coory's practice is limited to shoulder and upper limb surgery, and his team organises imaging and pre-operative work-up before your appointment.
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. For Redcliffe patients considering shoulder replacement, rotator cuff repair, or stabilisation surgery, the consultation covers both the operative and the non-operative options.
The Moreton Bay Peninsula is one of south-east Queensland's fastest-growing areas, and its population increasingly looks beyond the immediate Brisbane North corridor for specialist care. The drive to Maroochydore is about an hour and a quarter, mostly on the Bruce Highway, and telehealth can reduce the number of trips for selected appointments.
