No. The only US president that I'm certain held a "real" doctorate is Woodrow Wilson, who had a Ph.D. in History and Political Science. (Several others went to law school and might have held JDs... law schools historically have awarded first professional degrees in a confusing variety of titles, and it can be a little difficult to track down who got what and what, precisely, its modern equivalent is.)

William Henry Harrison went to medical school, but withdrew. He didn't really enjoy it, and the death of his father left him without funds to continue anyway.

Herbert Hoover held a bachelor's degree in Geology, but was good enough at it to have been employed as a college lecturer on the subject, making him a kind of de facto doctor (the term comes from a Latin word meaning "teacher"). His translation of De re metallica is regarded as the definitive version, and is still in print today.
