Dr. Joey Daher, born and raised in Lebanon, came to MetroHealth to be a Family Medicine resident. While getting his education in his home country, he developed a passion for medicine and wanted to be one of the frontliners in the field of Medicine, a Family Medicine Physician.

Dr. Daher graduated with an M.D from the Lebanese American University in Lebanon before embarking on his journey to Cleveland, Ohio. Throughout his education, he published a review article on plant derived therapies for dyslipidemia, 2 papers on different possible chemicals that can be used as treatments for cancer, and a recent case report on stress fractures in professional athletes. In addition, while in Lebanon, he worked as a research assistant in a national project with collaborations from international NGO’s.

He ultimately plans on graduating as a Family Medicine physician from MetroHealth in 2026, specializing in one of his interests, and then serving the community to the best of his ability.
