Top 4 Bronchoscopy Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Bronchoscopy is a procedure in which a doctor looks inside the airways using a thin tube with a light and a camera. Samples can sometimes be taken during the same session. Doctors may recommend it to investigate a cough that will not settle, unexplained breathlessness, coughing up blood, changes seen on a chest X-ray or CT scan, or the follow-up of a known lung condition. Only a doctor who examines you can decide whether it is needed.

Consider booking a visit with a pulmonology specialist if you have:

• A cough lasting three weeks or more, which NHS guidance advises should be checked by a doctor
• Wheezing, or breathlessness during activities you used to manage easily
• Repeated chest infections or a cough that keeps returning
• Breathing problems during sleep, loud snoring with pauses, or unusual daytime sleepiness
• A referral from your family doctor or hospital team after an imaging test

Get emergency help straight away by calling 911 in Jordan if you have severe breathlessness, blue or grey lips, severe or spreading chest pain, coughing up a large amount of blood, confusion, or drowsiness that is hard to rouse.

How to choose among the doctors here

There is no single best bronchoscopy specialist in Amman that a list can name. The right choice depends on your symptoms, your insurer, your location and how comfortable you feel with the doctor. Treat this page as a shortlist, not a ranking, because the order reflects profile completeness only.

When comparing the four profiles, look at:

• Services: check whether the profile lists the tests you may need, such as spirometry, pulmonary function testing, endobronchial ultrasound, sleep studies or thoracentesis. Not every doctor lists the same services.
• Training and boards: read the qualifications and experience sections, and ask about any point you do not understand.
• Location and hours: the clinics are listed in 3rd Circle, Mecca Street, Abdoun and Abdali, all in Amman. Compare the listed hours with your work or school schedule.
• Insurance: the insurer lists differ considerably, as described below.
• Focus of practice: some profiles emphasise sleep medicine or critical care alongside lung disease. Ask whether the doctor regularly sees patients with your specific problem.

What to expect at the first visit

The first visit is usually a consultation rather than the procedure itself. The doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long they have lasted, any smoking or vaping history, past chest illnesses, allergies, your work environment and the medicines you take. An examination of your chest will usually follow.

Bring:

• Any previous chest X-ray or CT reports, and the images if you have them
• Letters from your family doctor or other specialists
• A written list of your medicines, including inhalers
• Notes on your symptoms: when they started and what makes them better or worse
• Your insurance card and identity document

Useful questions to ask include: Do I need a bronchoscopy, or is a simpler test first? Will I be sedated or given a local anaesthetic? Do I need to fast beforehand? Will someone need to take me home afterwards? When and how will I get the results? If a bronchoscopy is recommended, the clinic should explain the preparation clearly. Preparation rules vary, so follow the clinic's written instructions exactly.

Insurance, fees and booking

Insurance and fees differ between these profiles. Dr. Mohammad Hassan Saeed Al Tarawneh's profile lists a published consultation fee of 30 JOD and a wide range of insurers, including MSH International and OmniCare. For the other three profiles, the insurer listed is Arab Orient Insurance, so ask the clinic directly about the consultation fee and the cost of any procedure before you go.

Insurers may cover a consultation and a procedure differently, so confirm each one separately. When you contact a clinic, use the contact details on its ClinicsJo profile and ask:

• Whether the clinic accepts your insurer for the consultation and for the procedure
• What the consultation and any procedure will cost you
• Whether a referral is needed
• How far ahead appointments are usually available

Getting there

The four clinics are listed in 3rd Circle, Mecca Street, Abdoun and Abdali, all in Amman. Each profile shows a map location, so check it before you travel. Traffic in Amman can be slow at peak times, so allow extra time, especially for afternoon appointments. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are common options; give the driver the clinic name or the address shown on the profile.

If you are travelling from another part of the city, such as Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Shmeisani, 7th Circle or Dabouq, check the route on the map and allow enough travel time for your appointment.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm that the doctor's listed services include the test or procedure you were referred for
• Check the clinic's listed hours against your schedule
• Confirm whether your insurer covers the consultation and any procedure
• Ask for the consultation fee before your visit; for one profile it is listed as 30 JOD
• Ask about fasting, sedation and whether someone must take you home
• Bring previous imaging, referral letters and your medicine list
• Remember that severe breathlessness, blue or grey lips or coughing up a large amount of blood need emergency help by calling 911, not a clinic appointment
