Amanda P. Henry is a Pediatrician based on Barker Street in Randwick, NSW 2031. She looks after children from early life through the growing years, with a calm, practical approach and a focus on getting families clear answers.
In many cases, her work involves babies and children who need extra monitoring or follow-up after complicated starts. That can include concerns like low birth weight or slowed growth in pregnancy, issues related to the placenta, and problems that may affect oxygen levels around birth. She also supports care when there are known conditions such as twin-to-twin transfusion, or when blood counts are low, like anaemia or low platelets.
She is also comfortable helping with breathing and circulation issues in children. For example, Amanda may assess children with asthma, pneumonia, or longer-lasting lung problems. At times, she reviews heart murmurs and other early heart concerns, and helps families understand what’s happening and what the next steps usually look like.
Some of the most common day-to-day problems her patients come in for are stomach and gut issues, including diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome. She can also help when there are diet-related concerns, such as iron deficiency, or when blood test results show something like a low sodium level. Families sometimes seek help for ongoing skin or metabolic concerns too, where careful follow-up matters.
As well as physical health, she understands that illness and stress can hit the whole family. At times, children may be affected by mental health concerns in the family setting, and Amanda can help coordinate care and point families toward the right supports.
Education and formal training details aren’t listed here, but the care she provides is built around clear communication and sensible plans. Over time, she works to make sure families feel comfortable with the “why” behind tests and treatments, not just the what.
When relevant, Amanda works with other local health professionals to coordinate care, especially for children who need ongoing follow-up. If a child’s situation ever involves research studies or clinical trials, she can explain what that could mean in a straightforward way, and what options are available.
Location matters when you’re juggling appointments, so being in Randwick helps many local families access paediatric care close to home.
