About of Leticia Burton

Leticia Burton is a Gastroenterologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after people with ongoing digestive health problems, especially issues that affect the oesophagus and upper stomach.


In many cases, patients see her for reflux and heartburn. This can be that burning feeling in the chest, sour taste, or trouble when food comes back up. She also helps with conditions that can sit behind these symptoms, like gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), oesophagitis, and hiatal hernias. At times, people also have indigestion that just won’t settle, even with over-the-counter steps.


Leticia also works with patients who have peptic ulcers. Those can cause upper tummy pain, nausea, and discomfort that can come and go. She helps sort out what’s going on and supports a plan to manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups.


Another area she deals with is slow stomach emptying, including gastroparesis. This can make meals feel too heavy, bring on early fullness, or lead to feeling sick after eating. Hernia problems can also be part of the picture, including diaphragmatic hernia and other hernia-related issues, where pressure and movement in the chest and abdomen can affect digestion.


Details about Leticia’s education and length of experience aren’t listed here, but she is a trained gastroenterologist providing care in Sydney.


There isn’t any clear public information shown here about research interests or clinical trials. If you want to know what options might be available for your specific situation, the best next step is to ask her rooms directly.


Overall, the focus is practical care for common, but often stressful, stomach and throat conditions. People usually come in hoping to feel better day to day, and to understand what’s driving their symptoms so they can move forward with a clear plan.
