Top 3 Brain Tumor Surgery Specialists in Jordan 2026

When do you need a brain tumor surgery specialist?

Brain tumor care covers diagnosis, surgical planning and follow-up after treatment. Many people with a brain or spinal tumor are cared for by a team. A neurosurgeon handles surgical questions, while drug treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy are usually planned with other specialists.

Book a visit when you have:

• a first diagnosis of a possible tumor, or a scan that needs explaining
• an unexplained lump
• unexplained weight loss
• a family history of cancer
• routine follow-up after recovery, including advice on rehabilitation

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 without delay, or go straight to the nearest emergency department, if you notice:

• a sudden severe headache, or a headache that keeps getting worse, especially with vomiting or drowsiness
• a new seizure or fit
• sudden weakness, numbness or drooping on one side of the body
• difficulty speaking or understanding speech
• sudden loss of vision or double vision
• sudden confusion, unusual change in behaviour, or loss of balance

These signs should not wait for a routine clinic appointment.

How to choose among the doctors here

Searching for the best brain tumor surgery specialists in Jordan is easier when you compare published details rather than relying on a single ranking. The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is. The platform scores verification, reviews, experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, opening hours, consultation fee and map location. That score does not measure clinical quality or outcomes, so treat it as a guide to what you can check.

Useful criteria include:

• Match the service to your need. Check whether the profile lists brain tumor assessment, neuro-oncology or spine surgery, depending on your situation.
• Read the qualifications and training. Each profile names its boards, fellowships or degrees. Ask the doctor to explain how that training applies to your case.
• Consider location. Two doctors practise in Amman, in Abdali and Arjan, and one practises in Ramtha, Irbid. For a condition that may need repeat visits and follow-up, a clinic you can reach easily matters.
• Compare how consultations work. Dr. Amer Abu Al Ragheb's profile says consultations review the diagnosis and existing imaging to discuss surgical options and follow-up. Dr. Hasan Saadi Al Jawhari's profile says options are discussed after assessment and review of imaging and reports.
• Review the other published details. Look at experience, reviews, languages and opening hours on each profile, and ask about anything that matters to you.

A second opinion is reasonable if you are unsure about a diagnosis or a proposed plan. Bring the same scans and reports to each doctor so the comparison is fair.

What to expect at the first visit

A first consultation is usually used to review your history and scans, explain what the findings may mean, and agree on next steps. Next steps may include further tests before any decision about treatment. Do not expect every question to be settled in one visit, and ask for a written summary if it helps.

Bring:

• previous reports, including any pathology or biopsy results
• imaging files, such as MRI or CT scans, on disc or in digital form
• a list of your current medicines
• a dated record of your symptoms, including when they started and what makes them better or worse
• a list of questions
• your identification and insurance card

Useful questions include: What is the working diagnosis? Which tests are still needed? What options exist, and what are their risks and benefits? Who will coordinate other treatment with the surgical plan? What follow-up schedule do you recommend?

Dr. Suleiman Shaheer Daoud's profile advises bringing previous reports, investigations and a medication list, which applies to any first visit.

Insurance, fees and booking

Fees and insurance acceptance are set by each clinic and can change, so confirm them before you attend. Dr. Amer Abu Al Ragheb's profile publishes a consultation fee of JOD 30. His profile also lists these insurers: Arab Orient Insurance, Euro Arab Insurance Group, Solidarity - First Insurance Company, Jordan Engineers Association (JEA), MedNet, NatHealth and OmniCare. Check whether your own policy is included, and ask your insurer as well.

For any doctor on this list, ask:

• What is the consultation fee, and what does it cover?
• Is my insurer accepted, and will I need a referral or pre-approval?
• Are follow-up visits charged separately?
• Can I receive my reports and scans electronically?

Use the contact options on each doctor's profile page to book. Keep a note of the date, time and name of the person you spoke with.

Getting there

Each profile names its own area. Use these as your starting point:

• Dr. Amer Abu Al Ragheb: Abdali, Amman, at Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics.
• Dr. Hasan Saadi Al Jawhari: Arjan, Amman, at Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics. His clinic is number 301 on the third floor, as stated on his profile.
• Dr. Suleiman Shaheer Daoud: Ramtha, Irbid, at King Abdullah University Hospital Specialty Outpatients.

Allow extra time for travel and parking, especially for a first visit. Confirm the exact clinic location and appointment time in advance, as Dr. Daoud's profile advises, and check the clinic on the day if you are unsure where to go.
