Top 3 Cardiac Surgery Specialists in Irbid 2026

When do you need this specialty?

Cardiac surgery covers the heart, the coronary arteries that feed it, the heart valves, the chest and large arteries such as the aorta. It includes open-heart procedures and advanced catheter-based treatment. The services listed for the cardiac surgery specialists in Irbid on this page relate to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve replacement, mitral valve surgery, surgery for congenital heart defects in children, and surgery on the aorta and other large arteries.

People usually reach a cardiac surgeon through a heart doctor. Common reasons to book a visit include:

• A referral from a cardiologist after tests
• Advanced narrowing of the heart arteries found on investigation
• A problem with a heart valve
• A heart defect diagnosed in a child

This is general information, not a diagnosis. Only a doctor who examines you and reviews your tests can say whether surgery is needed.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you have:

• Chest pain or pressure that lasts more than a few minutes, or does not ease with rest
• Pain spreading to the arm, jaw, neck or back, with sweating, nausea or breathlessness
• Fainting, or sudden severe shortness of breath
• Sudden weakness on one side of the body, a drooping face or trouble speaking
• A child with blue lips, pale or grey skin, or fast, laboured breathing

Call 911 straight away. Do not drive yourself to hospital.

How to choose among the doctors here

All three profiles on this page are listed under Cardiology, with Cardiac Surgery as a sub-specialty, and each lists a cardiac surgery consultation as a published service. They practise at the same clinic in Ramtha, so location will not tell them apart. Use these criteria instead:

• Scope of the question. Ask whether the doctor handles your specific condition, such as valve disease, coronary bypass or a child's heart defect. The profiles give no further detail, so you need to ask directly.
• Qualifications. Read each published qualification and ask what it means for your case. Two profiles list the Jordanian Board of General Surgery and a higher specialty qualification in General Surgery from the University of Jordan. One lists a doctorate from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the Jordanian Board in General Surgery.
• Follow-up format. Ask how assessment and follow-up are arranged. The biographies say these are discussed during the visit.
• Practical needs. Consider travel from your district and whether the appointment time suits your work or family.

A profile's position on this page reflects how complete its published information is. It is not a judgement of clinical skill, and no ranking here shows which surgeon is better for your heart. A cardiologist who knows your tests can help you decide which question matters most.

What to expect at the first visit

The first consultation is usually a discussion, with an examination and a review of your records. Preparing well makes it more useful.

Bring:

• Previous cardiac reports, including ECG and echocardiogram results, and any angiogram or catheter images you have
• Other investigations and blood tests
• A current list of all the medicines you take
• A referral letter or notes from your cardiologist, if you have them

Before you go, write down:

• Your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse
• Other conditions you have and any earlier surgery
• Questions about options, risks, recovery and follow-up

The biographies on this page note that the need for surgery and follow-up options are discussed during assessment. Ask the doctor to explain each option in plain terms, and write down the next steps before you leave.

Insurance, fees and booking

Before you book, ask the clinic directly about:

• Whether the doctor accepts your health insurance, and under which plan
• The consultation fee, which you should confirm in Jordanian dinars before the visit
• Available appointment times and how far ahead to book
• Whether a referral is needed, and how follow-up visits and tests are arranged

The booking route differs by profile. One biography advises contacting the hospital appointment office and asking for the doctor by name. Another advises confirming the clinic location and appointment time in advance. The third asks you to confirm your appointment with the hospital. Keep a note of the date, the time and the name of the person who confirmed it.

Getting there

All three doctors practise at King Abdullah University Hospital Specialty Outpatients in Ramtha, Irbid. Ramtha is one of the districts of Irbid governorate. The others are Irbid city, Al-Husn, Kufr Yuba, Al-Koura, Bani Kinanah and Al-Mazar Al-Shamali. Patients from any of these areas should plan travel time in advance, check the route on the day, and allow time to find the outpatient clinic inside the hospital.

If you travel with a child or an elderly relative, allow extra time for the walk from the entrance and for waiting.
