Top 4 Cardiologists in Abdali 2026

When do you need a cardiologist?

Cardiology covers the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Common examples are high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart attacks, heart valve problems, heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy), heart failure and rhythm disorders. A cardiologist may order tests such as an ECG, an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), a stress test or Holter monitoring. Some patients are later referred for diagnostic or treatment catheterisation.

It is reasonable to book a visit, often after first seeing your GP or an internal medicine doctor, if you have:

• Chest discomfort or tightness that comes on with effort and settles with rest
• Palpitations, or a heartbeat that feels irregular, fast or skipping
• Breathlessness on exertion that is new or getting worse
• Swelling of the ankles or legs, or tiring much more easily than usual
• High blood pressure that is hard to control, or high cholesterol
• A close relative who had heart disease or died suddenly at a young age
• Diabetes, smoking or other risk factors and a wish for a risk review

Warning signs that need emergency care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you or someone with you has any of these:

• Chest pain, pressure or heaviness lasting more than a few minutes, especially if it spreads to the arm, jaw, neck or back
• Chest pain with sweating, nausea or breathlessness
• Sudden severe shortness of breath
• Fainting or collapse
• A very fast heartbeat with dizziness
• Signs of stroke: a drooping face, a weak arm, or slurred speech

Call 911 straight away. Do not drive yourself to a clinic.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best cardiologists in Abdali usually want someone who fits their situation, not a ranking. All four profiles here list cardiology consultation, but their published focus differs:

• Heart rhythm concerns. Electrophysiology is the area of cardiology that deals with the heart's electrical system. Dr. Mohammad Hajjiri's record lists electrophysiology training and his role as head of electrophysiology at Abdali Hospital.
• Catheterisation or stents already mentioned. Dr. Basel Al Aloul, Dr. Fadi Thabit Al-Qaisi and Dr. Kais Al Balbissi list catheterisation services. Dr. Al-Qaisi's profile also names transradial catheterisation (through the wrist) and coronary stenting.
• Valve problems. Dr. Al Aloul and Dr. Al-Qaisi list heart valve assessment. Dr. Al-Qaisi also lists TAVR assessment, which looks at whether a valve can be replaced through a catheter.
• Heart failure or cardiomyopathy follow-up. Dr. Al Aloul and Dr. Al Balbissi list heart failure follow-up. Dr. Al Balbissi also lists cardiomyopathy treatment.
• Tests in one place. Dr. Al Aloul and Dr. Al-Qaisi list echocardiography and stress testing. Dr. Al-Qaisi also lists ECG and Holter monitoring.
• Hours. Three doctors list Saturday to Thursday, 10:00–17:00. Dr. Al Balbissi's clinic has fewer, varied slots, including late afternoons on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. These may suit people who work during the day.
• Insurance. Check that your insurer appears on the profile, then confirm with both the clinic and the insurer.

If you have had cardiac care before, continuity matters. A doctor who already has your test results can often act on them faster.

What to expect at the first visit

A first cardiology appointment usually starts with a detailed history and an examination. That includes your blood pressure, pulse and listening to your heart and lungs. Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may request an ECG on the same day or arrange other tests for later. Do not expect every test at the first visit.

Bring with you:

• Your ID and insurance card
• A list of all medicines and supplements, with doses, or the packets themselves
• Previous ECGs, echo reports, blood tests (especially cholesterol, sugar and kidney function) and any catheterisation reports
• Home blood pressure readings, if you take them
• A short timeline of your symptoms: when they happen, how long they last, what triggers or eases them
• Your family history of heart disease

Useful questions to ask:

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what else could it be?
• Which tests do I need, and why?
• Are there lifestyle changes I should make now?
• Which symptoms should make me seek urgent care?
• When should I come back for follow-up?

Wear clothes that make an ECG easy. If a stress test may be done, ask beforehand about suitable shoes and whether to eat first. Do not stop or change any prescribed medicine before a visit unless a doctor tells you to.

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

None of these four profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly when you book. Before your appointment, check:

• Is my insurance accepted for this specific doctor? Dr. Al Aloul and Dr. Al-Qaisi share several listed insurers, including GlobeMed, MedNet, NatHealth, Newton Insurance, OmniCare, Euro Arab Insurance Group and Med Service. Arab Orient Insurance is listed for Dr. Al Aloul and Dr. Al Balbissi.
• Is the consultation charged separately from tests such as an ECG or echo?
• Do echocardiography, stress testing, Holter monitoring or catheterisation need prior approval from my insurer?
• Is a referral letter required under my policy?
• What is the follow-up visit policy, and how do I reschedule?

The ClinicsJo profile page is where to start your booking enquiry.

Getting there

All four doctors are in Abdali, Amman. Dr. Al Aloul, Dr. Al-Qaisi and Dr. Hajjiri work at Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics, and Dr. Al-Qaisi's profile says he sees patients on the seventh floor. Dr. Al Balbissi's clinic is in Abdali Boulevard.

Patients coming from other Amman districts can confirm directions and the best entrance when they book. That includes Shmeisani, Gardens, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Abdoun, Dabouq and the 7th Circle. Allow extra time on your first visit to find the clinic and register. If you need a stress test, plan for someone else to drive you if the clinic advises it.

In an emergency, do not travel to an outpatient clinic. Call 911.
