Top 4 Arthroscopy & Sports Injuries Specialists in Shmeisani 2026

When do you need arthroscopy or sports injury care?

Arthroscopy is a procedure in which a surgeon uses a thin camera, inserted through a small cut, to look inside a joint. It can help confirm a diagnosis and, for some conditions, treat the problem at the same time. Orthopedic specialists in this area commonly see shoulder pain, knee injuries such as meniscus or ligament problems, and sports injuries affecting joints, muscles or tendons.

Consider booking a visit if you have:

• pain or swelling after a twist, fall or sports collision that does not settle with rest over the following days
• a knee or shoulder that catches, locks or gives way during movement
• persistent shoulder pain, or weakness when lifting the arm
• pain that continues for several weeks despite rest, or that stops you working or training
• a joint that keeps becoming painful or stiff after activity

Many joint problems are first managed without surgery, through rest, changes to activity, physiotherapy and medicines chosen by your doctor. Arthroscopy is one option among several, and an orthopedic doctor is the right person to decide which approach suits your situation.

Seek urgent care straight away, or call 911 in Jordan, if you have:

• a joint injury with severe pain and you cannot bear any weight on the leg
• an obvious deformity, such as a joint that looks out of place
• numbness, tingling or weakness in a limb after an injury
• fingers or toes that are cold, pale or blue
• fever with a hot, very swollen and painful joint

How to choose among the doctors here

Start with the match between the doctor's focus and your problem. The entries on this page differ. Some list shoulder and upper limb care, others focus on knee ligament repair, fractures, foot and ankle problems, or joint and spine work. Read the services list for your condition rather than relying on the headline specialty.

Other practical points to compare:

• Services listed: shoulder arthroscopy, knee arthroscopy, meniscus and ligament care, and fracture treatment appear in different combinations across the four profiles.
• Hours: clinic days and times vary. Late-afternoon slots suit people who work during the day, while morning slots suit those who prefer to be seen earlier.
• Language: the profiles that list languages show Arabic and English.
• Fees and insurers: only some profiles publish a consultation fee or an insurer list, so check each entry and confirm with the clinic.
• Profile detail: the order reflects how complete the public information is. Detailed profiles make claims easier to check, but they do not measure the skill of a surgeon.

Whatever you choose, ask the doctor how often they treat your condition, what they recommend and why, what alternatives exist, and what recovery would involve.

What to expect at the first visit

The doctor will usually ask how the problem started, which movements hurt, what you did before it began, and what you have already tried. A physical examination is normally part of the visit. If needed, the doctor may order imaging such as an X-ray or MRI, and will explain the findings and options.

Bring:

• a short written timeline of your symptoms
• previous imaging films and reports, such as X-ray, MRI or ultrasound
• a list of current medicines and any allergies
• notes on sport, work or daily activities that are affected
• your insurance card, if you plan to claim

Prepare questions in advance: What is most likely causing this? Which tests are needed? Is surgery needed now, or might another approach be enough? What will recovery look like, and how long will it take? What can I do in the meantime?

Insurance, fees and booking

Before you book, confirm the following with the clinic:

• Consultation fee. Two entries on this page show a published fee: 30 JOD for Dr. Wael Al Haddad and 25 JOD for Dr. Ahmad Najeh Amer. Confirm the price again at booking, since clinics can change their fees.
• Insurance. Dr. Wael Al Haddad and Dr. Ahmad Najeh Amer each list twelve insurers on their profiles, and the lists are not identical. Confirm that your insurer is accepted before the visit.
• Scans and follow-up. Ask whether imaging is included in the consultation or charged separately, and what follow-up is expected after any procedure.
• Appointment slot. Confirm the exact day, time and floor, as hours can change.

Use the contact details shown on each profile to book directly with the clinic.

Getting there

All four doctors practise in Shmeisani, Amman. Two profiles place their clinic behind or opposite the Specialty Hospital, which may help you find the building. Check the floor and clinic number on each entry, because they differ. Allow extra time for parking and for finding the right floor, and confirm the exact address when you book.
