Top 4 Anesthesia & Intensive Care Specialists in Abdali 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Anaesthesia and intensive care specialists look after patients before, during and after surgery and other procedures. They also manage seriously ill patients in intensive care units, and some run pain management services. Most people meet an anaesthetist because they are already scheduled for an operation, a scan under sedation or another procedure. People rarely book one with no referral.

Common reasons to see one of these doctors:

• Pre-operative (pre-anaesthesia) assessment. Before planned surgery, the anaesthetist reviews your health, medicines, allergies and past experiences with anaesthesia to plan safe care.
• Higher-risk health before surgery. Heart or lung disease, diabetes, obesity, sleep apnoea, kidney problems or blood thinners can all change how anaesthesia is planned.
• Past problems with anaesthesia. Examples include severe nausea, a slow recovery, breathing difficulty, or a family history of serious reactions to anaesthetic drugs.
• Long-lasting pain. This means pain that lasts beyond about three months or does not improve with usual treatment. It may lead to a pain management assessment, as listed for one doctor on this page.
• Breathing and lung concerns. These fall within the pulmonology and critical care profile included here.

Intensive care itself is not booked like a clinic visit. Admission to an intensive care unit is arranged by hospital teams when a patient is critically ill.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you or someone with you has any of the following:

• Severe difficulty breathing or chest pain
• Sudden confusion, collapse or fainting
• Weakness, numbness or drooping on one side of the face or body
• Heavy bleeding
• Signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face or throat
• High fever, a painful swollen leg or increasing breathlessness after recent surgery

Call 911, Jordan's emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency department.

How to choose among the doctors here

If you searched for the best anesthesia & intensive care specialists in Abdali, it helps to know how this page works. It ranks profiles by how complete their published information is. It does not rank them by clinical quality. Use these practical points to decide:

• Match the doctor to your need. Two anaesthesia profiles focus on assessment and coordination of anaesthetic care before procedures. One also lists chronic pain assessment, interventional pain procedures and anaesthesia for cardiac and neurological surgery. The first-listed doctor is a pulmonologist with critical care training, which suits lung and breathing concerns rather than surgical anaesthesia.
• Follow your surgical pathway. In hospitals, the anaesthetist is often assigned by the department doing your procedure. Ask your surgeon or the department how assignment works and whether you can request a specific anaesthetist.
• Check published qualifications. Several profiles mention board certification in their biographies. You can ask the clinic to confirm details that matter to you.
• Consider practical fit. Look at confirmed hours, listed insurers and the clinic setting. Three of the doctors work through hospital outpatient clinics, where scheduling runs through the hospital rather than a private clinic diary.

What to expect at the first visit

A pre-anaesthesia assessment is usually a conversation and an examination. Depending on your health and the planned procedure, it may include tests the team requests. The anaesthetist will want a clear picture of your health so the care plan fits your case.

What to bring

• A full list of your medicines, including doses as prescribed, over-the-counter products, herbal remedies and supplements
• Allergy details, especially to medicines, latex or foods
• Previous reports, recent blood tests, ECGs and imaging
• Notes about any past anaesthesia, sedation or surgery, and how you recovered
• For a pain assessment, records of treatments you have tried and how well they worked

What to tell the team

Mention smoking, alcohol use, snoring or diagnosed sleep apnoea, loose teeth or dental work, and any chance of pregnancy. Tell them about blood-thinning medicines and any family history of problems with anaesthesia. Do not stop or change any medicine on your own. Ask the team which medicines to continue and follow their instructions on fasting before the procedure.

Questions worth asking

• What type of anaesthesia or sedation is planned, and why?
• What are the common side effects and the less common risks in my case?
• How will pain be managed after the procedure?
• Who looks after me during recovery, and will I need intensive care monitoring?
• When can I eat, drive or return to work?

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

Anaesthesia costs are often billed as part of a hospital procedure rather than as a separate visit. That makes it worth asking questions early:

• Is the anaesthesia assessment billed separately or included in the procedure package?
• Does my insurance cover the anaesthetic fee, intensive care stay or pain procedures? Is pre-approval needed?
• Is the doctor part of my insurer's network? Only one profile here lists an insurer (Arab Orient Insurance), so confirm coverage directly with the clinic and your insurer.
• What is the consultation fee for a standalone clinic visit, such as a pain assessment?
• How do I book? For hospital outpatient clinics, the profiles advise arranging appointments through the relevant department. Hospital opening hours may not reflect an individual doctor's schedule.

Getting there

All four doctors are listed in Abdali, Amman. Amman is the capital and the centre of Jordan's healthcare services, with a large concentration of hospitals and specialty clinics. Patients reach Abdali from across the city, including Shmeisani, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Abdoun, Dabouq, the Gardens and the 7th Circle area.

Before you set off:

• Confirm the exact clinic or department and the entrance to use.
• Allow extra time for traffic, parking and hospital registration.
• Arrange for someone to take you home if your appointment involves sedation or a procedure. You should not drive yourself afterwards.

If your planned surgery is elsewhere in Amman, ask whether the anaesthesia assessment must happen at the same hospital. Major hospitals in the city include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, King Hussein Cancer Center, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.

Checklist before you book

• Decide whether you need pre-procedure anaesthesia assessment, pain management or a lung and critical care consultation.
• Ask your surgeon or department how the anaesthetist is assigned.
• Confirm the doctor's schedule, as hospital hours may differ from the doctor's own hours.
• Check insurance coverage and whether pre-approval is required.
• Ask about the consultation fee and how procedure-related anaesthesia is billed.
• Prepare your medication, allergy and previous anaesthesia history.
• Gather reports, test results and imaging.
• Ask for clear fasting and medicine instructions in writing.
• Arrange transport home if sedation is planned.
• Know the warning signs that need urgent care, and call 911 in an emergency.
