Top 5 Breast Conserving Surgery Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Breast conserving surgery removes a tumour together with a margin of healthy tissue and keeps the rest of the breast. In most cases it is completed with radiotherapy. It is one established option for people who meet defined criteria, and it is always weighed against the alternative of total mastectomy. The decision is made with your treating team, based on your own tests, not by comparing someone else's experience or an article read online.

You may need a surgical consultation if you notice a new breast lump, a change in the skin or shape of the breast, nipple discharge, or if a mammogram or ultrasound shows something that needs a closer look. A general surgeon can assess your symptoms and arrange the next steps, which normally include a biopsy. Surgery should not be planned until a pathology report from the biopsy describes the cell type, grade and receptors, and both breasts and the armpit have been imaged.

Seek urgent care rather than waiting for a routine appointment if you have heavy bleeding from the breast, a hot, red and swollen breast with fever, or new chest pain or breathlessness. In an emergency in Jordan, call 911.

How to choose among the doctors here

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile's published information is, using a 100-point score. It does not measure surgical skill or treatment results, so use the entries as a starting point for your own questions rather than a ranking.

Start with the breast-specific question. Only one profile here lists breast biopsy and breast conserving surgery among its services. For the others, ask directly whether the doctor performs breast surgery, how often, and whether they work with a breast team that includes pathology, imaging and oncology. A surgeon who is comfortable explaining the full pathway, including when mastectomy might be discussed, is usually a good sign of a thorough consultation.

Next, compare the practical details: the city and district, the hours shown on the profile, and the consultation fee. The entries here are based in Amman (including the 7th Circle, Abdali and Tla' Al Ali areas) and in Al-Husn, Irbid. If you live elsewhere in Jordan, factor in travel time, because breast care often involves several visits for imaging, biopsy results, the operation and follow-up.

Finally, look at training and experience as published. Some profiles give years of experience and detailed training, while others give less. Treat these as information to discuss, not as proof of outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

A first consultation is usually about your symptoms, your history and the tests you already have. Bring every breast imaging report, any biopsy or pathology report, recent blood tests if you have them, a list of your medicines and allergies, and a record of previous operations. If you have images on a disc or phone, bring those too.

Prepare a short list of questions. Useful ones include: Is breast conserving surgery suitable in my case, or is mastectomy also a realistic option? Do I need a biopsy or more imaging first? Would drug treatment before surgery be considered? How will the lymph nodes in my armpit be checked? Who arranges radiotherapy and follow-up? How long will the final pathology report take?

It helps to know what the pathway usually looks like. The operation itself typically takes one to two hours, longer if reshaping is needed, and most people go home the same day or after one night. The final pathology report is usually issued within 5 to 10 working days. Your doctor should explain these steps in your own case, including what happens if the margins are not clear.

Insurance, fees and booking

The consultation fees published on these profiles are 25 JOD, 20 JOD, 30 JOD, 25 JOD and 20 JOD, in the order shown above. These are the only prices stated on this page. Before you attend, confirm with the clinic what the fee covers, whether a follow-up visit is included, and whether any tests or procedures will be charged separately.

Each profile lists the insurers the doctor accepts. Several include NatHealth-linked plans, while others list different companies. Check the exact name of your policy against the list on the profile, and ask the clinic to confirm coverage for a consultation and for any operation before you rely on it.

Check the hours shown on each profile before you travel, as they differ between clinics and some are only in the afternoon. Where a profile asks you to contact reception to arrange a visit, do so and note the date, time and the name of the person you spoke with.

Getting there

The doctors in this list practise in Amman, including the 7th Circle, Abdali and Tla' Al Ali areas, and in Al-Husn in Irbid. Each profile states its own city and district, and some show a map location. Use the map on the profile to confirm the exact site before you set out, and check whether your surgery would take place at the same address or at a hospital.

Plan your route around the hours on the profile, and allow extra time at busy periods in Amman and Irbid. If you need to be seen urgently, do not travel to a clinic. Call 911 for emergencies.
