Bara Zuhaili, M.D.

About

Dr. Zuhaili completed his medical doctorate at Damascus Medical School then spent his residency in Berkshire Medical Center. His vascular Fellowship was completed at Michigan Vascular Center. Dr. Zuhaili moved to Baltimore and began practice at John’s Hopkins after fellowship. In 2020 he returned to Michigan to join our practice. His interests include teaching and research, however, his passion is in improving community health. He has done multiple projects aimed at reducing overall population risk related to smoking, vaping and lifestyle.
