About of Jessica Menzies

Jessica Menzies is a Pediatric Gastroenterologist based in Randwick, NSW, Australia. She looks after infants, children, and their families when it comes to the gut and the parts of the body involved in feeding and digestion.


In her practice, Jessica focuses on conditions that can start from birth or show up in the early years. This includes problems like oesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, where the way the oesophagus connects can affect swallowing and feeding. She also cares for children with atresia of the small intestine, which can cause blockage and tummy issues soon after birth.


Another common area of care is gastroesophageal reflux in infants. Reflux can look scary for parents, especially when babies spit up often, feed with discomfort, or seem unsettled. Jessica works with families to make sense of what’s happening day to day and what options might help.


Paediatric gastroenterology can involve a lot of “small” details that matter. Things like feeding routines, growth, and how symptoms change over time are often key. Jessica takes a calm, practical approach, aiming to keep the plan clear and manageable as your child grows.


Her training is in paediatric gastroenterology, and she brings that background to both diagnosis and ongoing care. Details about her specific work history and study background aren’t listed here, but her role is set up around caring for children with feeding and digestive problems.


When it comes to research and new treatments, the available public information here doesn’t list specific studies. If clinical trials are relevant for a child’s situation, those options can be discussed through the right care pathways. At times, families just need careful assessment first, then the next best step from there.


Jessica Menzies works in Randwick and supports families across the area who are dealing with gut and feeding concerns in babies and children. If you’re looking for help with reflux, swallowing and feeding difficulties, or bowel conditions seen in early life, she’s a specialist who focuses on getting things understood and moving forward.
