Dr. Hayley Wong

Radiologist

Specialties: Musculoskeletal and Breast Radiology

Hayley has been working as a Radiologist since 2017. She joined Imaging Associates in 2023, bringing energy and enthusiasm to her work providing musculoskeletal, breast and general radiology services, in both public and private healthcare settings.

Hayley graduated from the University of Otago in New Zealand in 2015, with a Bachelor of Medicine/Surgery (MBChB). After completing her Radiology training in 2022, she gained a Fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Radiologists, and a Breast Screen Fellowship, before joining Imaging Associates where she completed a Musculoskeletal Fellowship.

Throughout her medical training and her career to date, Hayley has been proactive in participating in educational and research-based committees and groups. These include membership of the NZ Clinical Radiology Trainee Committee (CRTC), where she has represented the CRTC on the Artificial Intelligence Committee, RANZCR and on the Clinical Radiology Curriculum Assessment Committee RANZCR. Whilst still a student herself, Hayley also lectured medical students at The University of Auckland, and she currently trains new fellows undertaking MSK fellowships at Imaging Associates.

Hayley is also a passionate advocate for enhancing access to quality healthcare for all, and in 2017, she volunteered as a doctor at free medical camps in Fiji, working to set up medical clinics in local schools to service remote villages, who otherwise would not have access to a general practitioner or a hospital.

She is a patient focused and a very committed medical specialist who enjoys collaborating with other clinicians and specialists and talking to and treating patients.
