About

Dr. Wong is a clinician-investigator and transplant hepatologist with expertise in caring for patients across the continuum of liver disease from diagnosis to post-liver transplantation. She practices at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and the Pfleger Liver Institute.

Dr. Wong’s research aims to improve early detection of steatotic liver disease. Her research leverages epidemiological and health services methods to evaluate health, behavioral, and environmental data to improve risk stratification and early detection of steatotic liver disease among high-risk groups. Through these evaluations, her research team develops and tests multilevel, pragmatic health interventions to improve early detection of liver disease.

Dr. Wong received her bachelor's degree in public health from the University of California, Berkeley and medical degree from Stony Brook University School of Medicine in New York, where she was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. She completed her clinical training in the Yale Traditional Internal Medicine Residency Program and gastroenterology and advanced transplant hepatology fellowships at UCLA. 

With support from the UCLA Specialty Training and Advanced Research and Ruth L.
