Top 5 Abscess drainage Doctors in Amman 2026

When do you need abscess drainage?

An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms when the body walls off an infection. It can appear under the skin, around the anus, near the tailbone in the pilonidal area, or deeper inside the abdomen. Drainage means a doctor opens the pocket or places a small tube so the pus can escape. Small skin abscesses are sometimes treated in a clinic. Larger or deeper ones need a proper assessment to decide where and how drainage is safest.

Book a visit with a general surgeon if you notice:

• A painful, red or warm lump that is growing or does not settle
• A boil or swelling that keeps coming back
• Pain, swelling or discharge around the anus or near the tailbone
• A fever together with a tender area on your body
• Any lump you cannot assess yourself

Seek urgent care now, or call 911, if you have high fever with shivering, redness spreading quickly, a racing heartbeat, confusion, fainting, trouble breathing or swallowing, or severe pain that is not easing. Do not try to squeeze, cut or open an abscess at home.

Some profiles on this page list related services, such as anal fistula treatment, pilonidal sinus treatment or liver abscess surgery. These are not the same as drainage, but they involve the same parts of the body. Ask the doctor whether your problem falls under one of them.

How to choose among the doctors here

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is. It does not measure clinical skill or results, so use the following checks alongside it.

• Match the service. Read each profile's services list and see which ones fit your problem. Abscess-related and anal or pilonidal services appear on several profiles, but the lists differ, so confirm the exact procedure you need.
• Check training and experience. Three profiles publish years of experience, ranging from 17 to 25. Qualifications are listed in each profile's education and memberships sections.
• Look at the verification label. Only Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud's profile carries the platform's verified label.
• Read reviews carefully. Only one profile shows approved reviews, and that profile has a single review. A small number of reviews tells you little.
• Consider location and hours. Clinics are in different parts of Amman, and opening hours vary by day. Pick a clinic you can reach comfortably, especially if you may need follow-up visits.
• Ask where procedures happen. Some doctors operate at hospitals linked to their practice. Ask whether drainage would be done in the clinic or in a hospital.

What to expect at the first visit

The first visit usually starts with questions about when the problem began, how it has changed, and whether you have had similar problems before. The doctor will examine the area and may ask for scans or lab tests if they are needed to plan care. Based on the findings, the doctor will explain whether drainage is advised now, whether watching the area is reasonable, and what the alternatives and risks are.

Bring the following if you have them:

• Your ID and a list of medicines you take, including any you stopped recently
• Previous scans, lab results and operation or procedure reports
• A short note on when the symptoms started and what made them better or worse
• Questions written down before you go

Useful questions include: What is most likely causing this? Does it need drainage now, or can it be watched? What happens during the procedure, and what does recovery look like? When should I come back, and what warning signs should make me return sooner?

Insurance, fees and booking

The consultation fees published on these profiles are 25 JOD for three of the doctors and 30 JOD for two. Those are the only fees shown here. A consultation fee does not necessarily cover a procedure, dressings or follow-up, so ask about each separately.

Insurer lists differ widely between profiles. Check the list on the profile, then confirm with the clinic whether your policy covers the consultation and any procedure. If you are paying directly, ask what the total cost would include before you agree to anything.

Use the contact details shown on each profile to book. When you call, give a short description of your symptoms, ask whether the clinic can see you soon, and confirm the address and the day you need.

Getting there

Clinic locations on this page vary. Profiles place clinics in Jabal Amman, Rabieh, Arjan and Abdali, and one doctor practises at the outpatient clinics of Istishari Hospital on Al Kindi Street. Each profile shows its own location, so check the map on the profile before you travel.

Amman is large, and districts such as Abdoun, Khalda, Shmeisani and Dabouq can be busy at peak hours. Allow extra time for travel and parking, and check that the clinic's opening hours match your schedule.

If symptoms are severe, do not travel to a clinic. Call 911. Hospitals in Amman that appear in our location list include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, King Hussein Cancer Center, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.
