Top 7 Birth Control,Contraception Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need a contraception consultation?

A contraception visit with an obstetrics and gynaecology doctor helps you choose a method that fits your health, your plans and your daily routine. The main options include:

• Short-acting hormonal methods: combined pills, progestogen-only pills and injections.
• Long-acting hormonal methods: the implant and the hormonal intrauterine device (IUD).
• Non-hormonal methods: the copper IUD, condoms and other barrier methods.
• Permanent methods: tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men.

It is worth booking a visit when:

• You are starting contraception for the first time, for example around marriage.
• You have recently given birth or are breastfeeding. Some methods are usually delayed for a few weeks after birth, and suitability can change while breastfeeding.
• Your current method causes side effects, such as bleeding changes, headaches or mood changes, or you keep forgetting pills.
• An IUD or implant is due for removal or replacement, or you want to stop because you are planning a pregnancy.
• Your health has changed. High blood pressure, migraine with aura, smoking after 35, or a personal or family history of blood clots can make some hormonal methods unsuitable. Only a doctor who knows your history can judge this.

Emergency contraception is time-sensitive. If you had unprotected sex or a method failed, contact a clinic or pharmacist as soon as possible. A copper IUD fitted by a doctor is one recognised option and has a limited time window. Remember that only condoms protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Seek urgent care by calling 911 or going to an emergency department if you have:

• Leg pain or swelling in one leg, chest pain or sudden breathlessness.
• A sudden severe headache or changes in your vision while using hormonal contraception.
• Severe lower abdominal pain, fever or very heavy bleeding after an IUD fitting.
• Severe one-sided pain, fainting or shoulder-tip pain with a positive pregnancy test.

How to choose among the clinics here

All seven profiles publish birth control and contraception as a service. They differ in practical ways, so start with what you actually need.

• The method you want. If you have already decided on an IUD, look for profiles that name IUD insertion. Four clinics do: Dr. Leen Abu Zeineh, Dr. Sabri Zaza (insertion and removal), Dr. Tamara Tashtoush and Dr. Hussein Al Qudah. If you are interested in an implant or an injection, ask the clinic directly whether it provides that method.
• Related concerns. If irregular periods or polycystic ovaries are part of the picture, look for clinics that list menstrual disorder or PCOS care. If you are spacing pregnancies or may want fertility help later, a clinic that also covers pregnancy and fertility can keep the conversation in one place.
• Opening hours. Working hours matter for a 20–30 minute consultation.
• JoSante Healthcare Center publishes Friday hours and stays open until 19:00 on other days. Confirm when the gynaecologist is there.
• Dr. Leen Abu Zeineh's clinic has 16:00–19:00 sessions on Saturday and Tuesday.
• Remote first conversation. Dr. Sabri Zaza's clinic offers remote consultations by arrangement, which can help you compare options before an in-person fitting.
• Personal preferences. If you prefer a female doctor, or want your partner to attend, ask when booking.

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not clinical skill. If you searched for the best birth control and contraception clinics in Amman, the most useful choice is the one that offers your preferred method at a time and place you can manage.

What to expect at the first visit

The consultation usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. It generally follows these stages:

1. Consultation and medical assessment. The doctor asks about your periods, past pregnancies, medical conditions, medicines and smoking. They may check your blood pressure and weight.
2. Reviewing and comparing options. You discuss how well each method works in everyday use, how often it needs attention, likely bleeding changes and how quickly fertility returns after stopping.
3. Excluding pregnancy. The doctor needs to be reasonably sure you are not pregnant before starting a method. This may mean a pregnancy test or timing the start with your cycle.
4. Starting or fitting the method. Pills can often be started with a prescription. Fitting an IUD or implant usually takes 5 to 15 minutes, sometimes at a separate appointment.
5. Follow-up and switching. Ask when to return, for example for an IUD thread check, and what to do if the method does not suit you.

What to bring:

• The date of your last period.
• A list of your medicines and any previous contraception you used.
• Recent test results.
• Your ID and insurance card.

Useful questions to ask:

• How effective is this method with typical use?
• What side effects are common, and which ones should make me call you?
• What happens if I miss a pill or an injection is late?
• Will this method affect breastfeeding?
• For an IUD fitting, what pain relief options do you offer, and should I eat beforehand?

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

Some profiles include insurance information:

• Dr Maha Alsaid Clinic lists Arab Orient Insurance.
• The profiles of Dr. Tamara Tashtoush and Dr. Hussein Al Qudah indicate that they accept insurance.

Even so, coverage for family planning varies between policies. Before booking, ask:

• Is the consultation fee covered, and what is my co-payment?
• Does my policy cover the device itself, such as an IUD, and the fitting procedure?
• Is prior approval needed for the fitting?
• What is the fee for a follow-up or removal visit?
• Will the fitting happen at the first visit, or at a separate booked slot?

Ask for every price on the phone or at reception, and confirm whether the doctor will be present on your chosen day. Several clinics here specifically ask patients to confirm appointments in advance.

Getting there

Amman is large, and traffic around the circles can be slow at morning and afternoon peaks, so allow extra time. Among the clinics listed:

• JoSante Healthcare Center is near the 7th Circle.
• Dr. Tamara Tashtoush's clinic is in Khalda.
• Dr. Leen Abu Zeineh's clinic is in Tla' Al-Ali.

The other clinics are in other parts of the city. Use each entry's address and map pin, and ask which floor and entrance to use. If you need emergency care, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Major hospitals in Amman include Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.

Checklist before you book

• Decide whether you want to discuss options or have a specific method started or fitted.
• Confirm the clinic offers that method, such as IUD insertion or removal.
• Check the confirmed hours and that the doctor is present on your chosen day.
• Ask about the consultation fee, device cost and insurance cover, including any pre-approval.
• Note your last period date, current medicines and health conditions.
• Ask whether you need a pregnancy test and how to prepare for a fitting.
• Know the warning signs that need urgent care, and that the emergency number in Jordan is 911.
