Top 3 Allergy & Immunology Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Allergy and immunology deals with conditions where the immune system overreacts to usually harmless substances, or does not work as it should. In everyday practice an allergist commonly sees:

• Respiratory allergies: hay fever (allergic rhinitis), seasonal symptoms during spring pollen or dusty periods, year-round reactions to dust mites, pets or mould, and allergic asthma.
• Skin allergies: hives (urticaria), eczema with suspected allergic triggers, contact dermatitis and unexplained swelling.
• Food allergies: reactions after eating foods such as milk, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish or shellfish.
• Drug allergies: suspected reactions to antibiotics, painkillers or other medicines, including clarifying an old "penicillin allergy" label.
• Insect sting reactions and, less often, possible immune deficiency, such as repeated or unusually severe infections.

Consider booking a visit if:

• Sneezing, a blocked or runny nose, or itchy eyes return every season or last most of the year.
• You have wheezing, cough or chest tightness that seems linked to triggers or exercise.
• Hives or swelling keep coming back without a clear cause.
• You or your child reacted after eating a food or taking a medicine.
• Over-the-counter remedies are not controlling your symptoms, or your GP or paediatrician suggests specialist review.

Urgent warning signs: do not wait for a clinic appointment

A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) is a medical emergency. Call 911 straight away if someone has:

• Difficulty breathing, wheezing, or a hoarse or tight throat
• Swelling of the lips, tongue or throat
• Feeling faint, dizziness, confusion or collapse
• Hives or skin swelling together with breathing difficulty, vomiting or faintness

If an adrenaline auto-injector has already been prescribed, use it as you were trained, then call 911. A severe asthma attack that does not ease with the usual reliever inhaler also needs emergency care.

How to choose among the doctors here

The three profiles below are the full set listed on ClinicsJo for this specialty in Amman. Many people search for the "best" allergist. A more useful question is which clinic fits your needs, schedule and insurance.

• Match the services to your problem. If you need allergy testing, look for profiles that list it. Dr. Tubeilah's profile does. If your concern is a food or drug reaction, Dr. Karadsheh's profile names specific assessments for both. If you already have reports and want a specialist to review them, Dr. Ababneh's profile lists that service.
• Check age groups for children. Dr. Tubeilah's biography states he sees adults and children aged five and older. For younger children, ask the clinic directly whether they see that age group.
• Compare opening hours with your routine. The published hours range from late morning only to long days with Friday availability. If you work office hours, an early, evening or Friday slot may matter more than distance.
• Consider location and traffic. Amman's traffic can make a short distance slow at rush hour. Choose a clinic you can reach easily for follow-up, because allergy care often involves more than one visit.
• Confirm details yourself. Profiles differ in how much information they publish. Where a profile mentions more than one branch or a location inside a hospital, call reception to confirm exactly where to go.

What to expect at the first visit

A first allergy consultation is mostly a detailed conversation. The doctor will want to know what happens, when, and after what exposure. Typical steps include:

• History: your symptoms, timing, suspected triggers, home and work environment, pets, diet, and family history of allergy or asthma.
• Examination: often of the nose, chest and skin.
• Testing, if appropriate: skin prick tests or blood tests may be suggested. Some tests are affected by antihistamines, so ask the clinic when you book whether you should change anything beforehand. Do not stop any prescribed medicine, especially asthma treatment, without medical advice.
• A plan: this may cover avoiding triggers, treatment options, an action plan for reactions and a follow-up date.

What to bring

• A list of all current medicines, inhalers and supplements
• Previous test results, reports or discharge summaries
• Photos of rashes or swelling, since these may be gone by the day of the visit
• A short symptom diary: dates, foods eaten, places, and what helped
• Your ID and insurance card

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and how will we confirm it?
• Which tests do you recommend, and what do they involve?
• What should I do if I have a severe reaction?
• How often will I need follow-up?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

None of the three profiles currently publishes a consultation fee, so ask directly when booking. Dr. Tubeilah's profile lists Arab Orient Insurance. For any clinic, check with both the clinic and your insurer before the visit.

Useful questions to ask:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Are allergy tests priced separately from the consultation?
• Do you accept my insurance, and do I need pre-approval or a referral?
• Is the appointment with the named doctor specifically? Dr. Karadsheh's appointments are arranged through centre reception, and Dr. Ababneh's biography advises confirming the physician's appointment.
• Which branch, building or floor should I go to?

Getting there

Amman is the centre of Jordan's healthcare system, with around 5 million residents and major facilities such as Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. Clinics are spread across districts including Shmeisani, Abdoun, Sweifieh, the Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Dabouq, Jubeiha and the 7th Circle.

Practical tips:

• Confirm the exact address and branch before leaving, and ask about nearby parking.
• Allow extra time at morning and afternoon rush hours, especially around busy circles and main roads.
• If you are arriving for testing, plan to stay a little longer than a standard consultation.
• Visitors to Jordan can ask the clinic for a nearby landmark to share with a taxi or ride-hailing driver.

Checklist before you book

• Decide what you need: diagnosis, testing, a second opinion on existing reports, or follow-up.
• Check that the clinic's published services match that need.
• For children, confirm the clinic sees your child's age group.
• Match the confirmed opening hours with your schedule.
• Ask about the consultation fee and any separate testing costs.
• Confirm insurance acceptance and whether pre-approval is needed.
• Ask whether to adjust any medicines before testing, without stopping prescribed treatment on your own.
• Gather previous reports, a medicine list and photos of reactions.
• Confirm the exact branch, building and floor.
• Know the warning signs of anaphylaxis, and call 911 if they appear.
