Clinic

Positioned on the water’s edge in the northern Gold Coast suburb of Coomera Waters, Marina Family Medical Centre is a locally owned, integrated, multidisciplinary clinic committed to providing long term continuity of care to patients of all ages. Our practitioners understand that health is a personal experience, and as such they tailor their evaluation and treatment to each individual’s unique background and desired health outcomes.

Dr. Adrienne Burachinsky

General Practitioner / MBBS, BSc, FRACGP

While she has an interest in skin cancer medicine, Adrienne enjoys all aspects of General Practice and looks forward to working with patients of all ages in our community.

Following a fantastic semester abroad in Australia during her undergraduate degree, Adrienne knew she would be back.

She finished her Bachelor of Science in International Health at Georgetown University in 2006, and returned to Australia to do her medical degree at the University of Queensland.

After completing her hospital training at the Townsville Hospital, she began working in general practice in rural Queensland. She went on to become a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

The knowledge and experiences Adrienne gained from her International Health degree along with working in hospitals and rural communities, has shaped the way she practices medicine. She has acquired a broad skill set which incorporates acute care as well as focusing on the importance of preventive medicine and the health of the community.

While she has an interest in skin cancer medicine, Adrienne enjoys all aspects of General Practice and looks forward to working with patients of all ages in our community.
