How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this country was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call.

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a small blind-ended tube attached to the start of the large intestine in the lower right side of the abdomen. When it becomes inflamed and painful, the usual treatment is an appendectomy, an operation to remove it. General surgeons perform this operation, and acute appendicitis is managed as an emergency because an inflamed appendix can rupture and spread infection through the abdomen.

The typical pattern begins as vague pain around the navel. Over several hours it often shifts to the lower right abdomen and worsens with walking, coughing or sudden movement. Loss of appetite, nausea and sometimes a low-grade fever can come with it. Children, pregnant women and older adults can present less typically, so a doctor's examination matters more than matching symptoms to a list.

Diagnosis relies mainly on clinical examination, supported by blood tests and ultrasound or CT imaging. The decision to operate is made by a clinician, often after observation in hospital. Reading an article or checking one test result cannot settle it.

Call 911 in Jordan now, or go straight to the nearest emergency department, if you have:

  • Severe pain in the abdomen that is getting worse
  • A hard, rigid or very tender belly
  • Fever with vomiting, or inability to keep fluids down
  • Fainting, confusion or fast breathing
  • Abdominal pain during pregnancy, or pain in a child who looks unwell

A planned consultation is suitable for persistent or recurring right-sided abdominal discomfort that is not settling, or for other general surgical questions such as hernia, gallbladder or anal symptoms. Do not wait for a clinic appointment if symptoms are severe.

An appendectomy is usually completed in 30 to 60 minutes in the operating room, longer if the appendix has burst or there are adhesions. Hospital stay is typically one to three nights. Some appendectomies are done laparoscopically, through small incisions with a camera. The surgeon decides on the approach during the operation based on what is found.

How to choose among the doctors here

Start with the services list. Six of the seven profiles name appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy. Check whether the operation is listed, then ask the surgeon whether they perform it personally and where it would be done.

Next, read the background. Profiles show different levels of detail: some publish years of experience, others list boards, fellowships and training posts with dates. Read the full biography rather than relying on one line.

Then consider practical fit:

  • Location: each clinic sits in a specific Amman district or in Zarqa.
  • Hours: confirmed hours differ, and some clinics close early on Thursday.
  • Language: Arabic and English are listed on several profiles.
  • Other conditions: if your concern is wider than appendix pain, check which profiles also list hernia, gallbladder or anal services.
  • Insurance and fee: compare the insurers and first-visit fee shown on each profile.

The order on this page follows a completeness score, which measures how much checkable information a profile publishes. Position one means that profile publishes more detail, not that its surgeon is more skilled. The score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so this page cannot tell you which surgeon is right for your case.

What to expect at the first visit

Before the visit, write a short timeline of your symptoms: when the pain started, where it began, how it has moved, whether it worsens with movement, and any fever, vomiting or changes in appetite. Note your last meal and any medicines you have taken.

Bring the following:

  • Your identity document and insurance card
  • A list of current medicines and any allergies
  • Previous blood tests, ultrasound or CT reports, and any images on a disc or phone
  • A note of your pregnancy status if relevant

Useful questions to ask:

  • Do you perform appendectomy yourself, and is it done laparoscopically in your practice?
  • Which hospital would surgery take place in, and what does a typical stay involve?
  • What signs would mean I should return immediately?
  • What costs are not covered by the consultation fee?
  • Who looks after my care if you are not available?

The doctor will examine you and may order blood tests or imaging. If your pain is severe or your condition is changing, you may be sent for urgent assessment on the same day.

Insurance, fees and booking

The published consultation fees on these profiles are 20, 25 or 30 JOD. These figures apply to the first visit only. They do not show the cost of surgery, hospital stay or follow-up, which the surgeon and hospital should explain. If surgery is recommended, ask for the estimated costs in writing.

Each profile lists its own insurers, and the lists differ. NatHealth appears on several profiles. A listing shows the doctor works with that insurer as published, but it does not confirm that your policy covers this consultation, the hospital or any operation. Confirm with your insurer before the visit.

Most profiles list confirmed hours from Saturday to Thursday. Consultant Tariq Almunaizel lists Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. Hours can change, so check the profile and contact the clinic to confirm the day and time before you travel. Contact details are on each profile.

Getting there

Each profile states its own city and district, so start from the address shown on that profile. The clinics are in several Amman districts and in Zarqa. Plan your journey with traffic in mind, and check whether the clinic sits inside a medical complex or plaza so you know where to park and which floor to go to.

If you have severe abdominal pain, do not drive to a clinic to wait for an appointment. Call 911 in Jordan for emergency help.

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm the profile lists appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy, and ask the surgeon directly.
  • Note the first-visit fee and ask what else may be charged.
  • Check with your insurer that the doctor and the hospital are covered.
  • Confirm the clinic's hours for your chosen day.
  • Prepare your symptom timeline, reports and medicine list.
  • Arrange for someone to travel with you.
  • Remember that 911 is the number for emergencies.
  • Do not delay urgent care while waiting for an appointment.

What sets the price of Appendectomy?

Expected duration (from the procedure guide): Usually 30 to 60 minutes in the operating room, longer if the appendix has perforated or adhesions are present; hospital stay is typically one to three nights.

How to ask about the price

You can reach them through the contact details on the doctor and clinic profiles on this page.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of the best appendectomy doctors in Jordan chosen?
The seven profiles are the first seven of 14 on the platform for this topic, ordered by a 100-point completeness score. The score covers platform verification, approved reviews, published years of experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, consultation fee and map location. Featured placement does not change the score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Is appendicitis an emergency?
Yes. Suspected appendicitis is usually treated as an emergency because an inflamed appendix can burst and spread infection. Pain that starts around the navel and moves to the lower right, especially with fever, vomiting or a rigid belly, needs urgent assessment. Call 911 in Jordan or go to the nearest emergency department without delay. A consultation booked for a later date is not a substitute.
What is a laparoscopic appendectomy?
It is an appendectomy performed through small abdominal incisions using a camera and thin instruments. Several profiles on this page list laparoscopic appendectomy among their services. Whether this approach is used depends on what the surgeon finds during the operation. Ask your surgeon to explain the plan and any alternatives before surgery.
Which doctors here publish the lowest consultation fee?
Three profiles publish a consultation fee of 20 JOD: Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani, Dr. Rabee Walid Afaneh and Dr. Mohammad Zaied Al Kiswani. Dr. Mumen Mamoun Diraneyya publishes 25 JOD. Dr. Mohammad Faiq Hamdan, Dr. Mohammad Sami Al-Muhtaseb and Consultant Tariq Almunaizel publish 30 JOD. These are first-visit fees only, so ask what else may be charged.
What are the clinic opening days?
Most profiles list confirmed hours from Saturday to Thursday, with different closing times on Thursday. Consultant Tariq Almunaizel lists Sunday, Monday and Wednesday only. Hours can change, so check the profile and contact the clinic to confirm before you travel.
Do the listed insurers mean my policy will cover the visit?
Not necessarily. Each profile lists its own insurers, and NatHealth appears on several of them. A listing shows which insurers the doctor is published as working with, but it does not confirm coverage for your policy, the hospital or any surgery. Ask your insurer in writing before the appointment.
Can this page replace a doctor's assessment?
No. This is a directory guide with general information only. It cannot diagnose appendicitis or recommend a treatment for you. Only a clinical examination, with tests and observation when needed, can decide whether surgery is appropriate. Use the profiles to shortlist doctors, then speak with the one you choose.
