About Me

Joined MetroHealth: 2024
Academic Affiliations: Clinical Assistant Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

I’m a triple board-certified physician in Medical Oncology, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. I chose this field because of the deep, meaningful relationships I get to build with patients and their families. For me, cancer care is not just about treating disease—it’s about listening, supporting, and walking alongside people during some of life’s most difficult moments.

I believe in personalized, compassionate care that’s grounded in the latest medical research but always tailored to each patient’s unique values, goals, and story. Whether we’re discussing treatment options or navigating uncertainty together, my goal is to make sure you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

I joined MetroHealth in 2024 and also serve as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. It’s an honor to care for this community and to help guide patients through their journey with empathy and clarity.

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Attallah is deeply engaged in cutting-edge cancer research, quality improvement initiatives, and medical education. His research interests include exploring technology-assisted symptom monitoring, the application of artificial intelligence in clinical trial matching, and addressing the social determinants of health that impact patient outcomes. He also serves as a Principal Investigator on national oncology trials and actively participates in multidisciplinary tumor boards to ensure comprehensive patient care informed by the latest advancements.

Dr. Attallah's commitment to excellence has been recognized with multiple honors, including the Champion of Care recognition for outstanding clinical service and the Excellence in Teaching award for his dedication to mentoring and academic leadership. These accolades underscore his ongoing commitment to providing compassionate care, driving continuous improvement, and shaping the next generation of oncology professionals.

I would say that this is a very good place, a very kind place, a very customer place, and the people are very nice. So I recommend Dr. Attallah and this cancer department for people who need anything concerned, anything regarding cancer. And I would say something that I may have not understood some of the questions because my English is not very good. But I would say that everything was excellent. Thank you.
