About Me

Urogynecologist and reconstructive pelvic surgeon Claire Burton, M.D., was inspired to pursue her calling by the example of her mother, who was also a surgeon. She is passionate about helping people and finds fulfillment in channeling her skills to make a substantial difference in patients’ quality of life. 

Dr. Burton’s approach to treatment is to first learn a patient’s goal for their care, then develop a therapeutic plan through shared decision-making. Her specialties include male and female voiding dysfunction, incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder neck obstruction, bladder and uterovaginal prolapse, rectocele, female genitourinary reconstruction, urethral diverticulum and urinary tract fistula. She is a physician-scientist with 14 peer-reviewed publications when she joined City of Hope in 2023, including an American Journal of Medicine study showing that female primary physicians offer better care to women with urinary incontinence. During medical school at USC, she was chapter president of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society.

Away from the clinic, Dr. Burton enjoys spending time with her two sons, walking in the San Gabriel Mountains, running and visiting the beach.
 

Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
