About me

Dr. Hayley Barnes is a pulmonologist who specializes in caring for patients with advanced lung disease, including interstitial lung disease, or ILD (conditions that cause scarring in the lungs) and pulmonary hypertension, or PH (high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs). Her expertise encompasses advanced PH, chronic thromboembolic PH, and the overlap between PH and ILD. She serves as medical director of the UCSF Interstitial Lung Disease Program.

Barnes' research has focused on ILD related to occupation and hazardous material exposure, as well as on how to improve ILD diagnosis and predict how individual patients will respond to treatment.

Barnes completed her medical education and training in Australia. She earned her medical degree at Deakin University in Melbourne, completed a residency in general medicine at St. Vincent's Hospital Melbourne, and completed two respiratory medicine fellowships at Alfred Health and one at Austin Hospital. She also has a master of public health degree from the University of Newcastle and a doctorate from Monash University.

      I would recommend this facility to anyone. My doctor was so thorough with education and plan for me. She was interested in my thoughts and feelings. She assured us there are many options for us to look at. My daughter and I left feeling empowered and supported in fighting this awful disease. I feel so thankful to be apart of this process with this doctor.
