About Me

Jeffrey Metts, MD, MPH, Chief of Staff at City of Hope Atlanta, earned a medical degree from the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, Florida, as well as a master's degree in public health, maternal and child health, from Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. He completed his internship at Thomas Jefferson University and his residency at Drexel University College of Medicine, both in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before serving as Chief Medical Resident at Drexel University College of Medicine.

Prior to joining City of Hope Atlanta, Dr. Metts spent several years running a successful internal medicine private practice with Saint Agnes Medical Group in Baltimore, Maryland. At the same time, he served as a Hospitalist at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia.

“I was very happy in my practice developing long-term relationships with my patients and guiding them through both acute and chronic illnesses,” says Dr. Metts. “However, I felt such a strong connection to the patient-centric mission of City of Hope that I took a position as one of the founding members of the City of Hope Atlanta medical staff.”

In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Metts also enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. He spent time as an assistant professor of medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine, as well as at Florida State University College of Medicine.

In his free time, above all else Dr. Metts enjoys being a husband and father. “Spending time with my family at home or traveling the world together or watching my children play football and soccer are the things that ground and motivate me,” says Dr. Metts. “I believe this forms my foundation for patient care, as my goal is to see all my patients have these same types of opportunities with their families and loved ones.”

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
