Mechanicsville Medical Center: Burijon Laura L MD 7571 Cold Harbor Road, Mechanicsville, VA 23111

"Dr Burijon is awesome. She listens to her patients empathically and provides sound treatment, medication, and advice for other treatment measures such as diet and exercise she has gone out of her way to take good care of us. I highly recommend her."

"Dr. Burijon was supportive of my ketogenic diet to lose weight (110 pounds down and counting), when other doctors had tried to convince me I was going to give myself heart disease with animal fats or suggested I go on a high fiber diet (wasted a year of my life only losing 15 pounds). I know others that she has treated with nutrition rather than medicine with great results. It's refreshing to have a doctor that doesn't whip out the prescription book every time you visit. Keep in mind that the receptionist that schedules appointments and takes calls is abrasive and short with customers, but don't let that deter you from scheduling an appointment with Dr. Burijon. Be careful of who you see at this practice, my most recent visit with Dr. Cornett involved his suggestion to increase my intake of vegetable oils, including canola oil, in order to be more healthy, dangerous advice that leads to a litany of western diseases. He needs to read more books. Deep Nutrition by Dr. Catherine Shanahan would be a good start."

"This review is not for Dr. Burijon, I think she is great and professional. However the woman who does her scheduling is so completely unhelpful, rude, and clueless. I simply cannot as an employer understand how this woman still has a job. I would love to stay with this practice/ Dr. Burijon, however scheduling an appt though the front desk is such a complicated process, I am currently looking for a new PCP. No matter which question you ask this woman's answer is always the same, "I dont know, I would have to schedule you an appt to see the doctor", which doesn't sound that bad, except when my question is, "do you take united insurance?", obviously her generic reply is worthless, or "How much does your office charge for a cholesterol test?", obviously that is something she could ask the lab vs making me come in for a test I may not actually be able to afford anyway. I just found a new PCP, so hopefully that will work out better for me, the front desk was much nicer, and better informed when answering my questions."

"I am trying to understand how this lady can be in practice when she Failed to properly treat a patient with high blood pressure that was unable to be controlled. The prescribed medication was NOT working nor did she ever follow up to see if it was or was not working. The patients employer had to become involved which forced the patient to seek another doctor for proper treatment which bought the out of control blood pressure under control in less than a week. Its a shame that his employer cared more about his well being than his own DOCTOR please RUN from this practice! Wished I could give her a half star because she doesn't deserve a full one."
