Top 3 Dermatologists in Fifth Circle 2026

When do you need a dermatologist?

Dermatology covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. Many dermatology clinics also offer cosmetic procedures such as laser treatments and injections. Common reasons people in Amman book a dermatology visit include:

• Acne that has not improved with simple, over-the-counter care, or acne that is leaving scars
• Eczema or psoriasis that keeps flaring or is affecting sleep, work or school
• Moles, lumps or skin growths you want assessed or removed
• Hair loss, especially if it is sudden, patchy or getting worse
• Fungal infections and warts that keep coming back
• Pigmentation concerns such as dark patches on the face

It is sensible to book a visit if you have a long-lasting rash, severe itching or a suspected allergic reaction affecting the skin, a new or unusual spot, or sudden hair shedding. A dermatologist can examine the skin, ask about your history and, where needed, arrange tests before suggesting options.

Moles and spots worth checking soon

Mainstream guidance, including from the NHS, advises getting a mole or spot checked if it is new, changing in size, shape or colour, has an irregular edge or several colours, itches, bleeds or crusts, or looks different from your other moles. A sore that does not heal within a few weeks should also be seen.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some skin problems are emergencies. Call 911 or go to an emergency department if you notice:

• Swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing
• A rash that spreads quickly with fever, or skin that blisters or peels over large areas
• Hot, red, painful skin that is spreading fast, especially with fever or feeling very unwell
• After a filler injection: sudden severe pain, skin turning pale or dusky, or any change in vision

Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best dermatologists in Fifth Circle often want a single answer, but the right choice depends on what you need. The order on this page reflects profile completeness, not skill or outcomes. Practical points to compare:

• Medical or cosmetic need. If you have a skin condition such as a rash, eczema or a worrying mole, look for a profile that lists consultation and assessment services. If your goal is cosmetic, check which specific procedures each profile publishes.
• Published qualifications. Two profiles list a medical degree from the University of Jordan, one with the Jordanian Board in Dermatology and one with the Arab Board in Dermatology. The third describes an Arab board qualification in dermatology and laser surgery in his biography.
• Shared clinic or independent practice. Dr. Dana Faraneh and Dr. Ammar Batayneh are co-founders of the same centre and publish the same service list. Their biographies describe slightly different areas of focus, which may help you decide whom to ask for. Dr. Said Debes runs his own clinic.
• Opening hours. All three clinics confirm weekday hours from Saturday to Wednesday, with shorter Thursday hours. Check the closing time on Thursday if that is the only day you can attend.
• Follow-up. Many skin conditions need several visits. Ask how follow-up appointments are arranged and whether you will see the same doctor.

What to expect at the first visit

A first dermatology consultation usually involves questions about your symptoms, how long they have lasted, what makes them better or worse, and what you have already tried. The doctor will examine the affected skin, hair or nails and may look at other areas too.

How to prepare

• Write down when the problem started and any changes you have noticed
• Take photos if your rash or flare comes and goes
• Bring a list of all medicines, supplements and skin products you use, including creams bought without a prescription
• Bring previous test results or reports from other doctors
• Avoid wearing make-up or nail polish if the concern is on your face or nails, unless the clinic advises otherwise

Questions to ask

• What do you think is causing this, and do I need any tests?
• What are the options, and what are their possible side effects?
• How long before I should expect to see a change?
• When should I come back, and what should prompt an earlier visit?
• For cosmetic procedures: how many sessions might be needed, what is the recovery like, and what complications should I watch for?

For any procedure, you should be given time to ask questions and should not feel pressured to decide on the same day.

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

Consultation fees and procedure prices vary by clinic and treatment, so confirm them directly with reception before you go. Useful questions include:

• What is the fee for a first consultation, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• If a procedure is recommended, will I receive the full cost in writing before it starts?
• Do you accept my insurance, and does my policy cover dermatology consultations, medical procedures or cosmetic treatments? Many policies treat cosmetic procedures differently from medical care, so check with your insurer as well.
• Do I need a referral from my insurer or a general doctor?
• How far in advance should I book, and what is the cancellation policy?

Dr. Said Debes's own biography specifically advises confirming fees and attendance with reception.

Getting there

All three clinics are in Fifth Circle, Amman. Dr. Said Debes's clinic is in the Al Qaisi Raed Khalaf Building near the Fifth Circle, while Dr. Dana Faraneh and Dr. Ammar Batayneh both work at The Skin Clinic360 Dermatology and Aesthetic Center in Fifth Circle.

Patients often come from other parts of the capital, such as Abdoun, Sweifieh, Shmeisani, Dabouq, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Jubeiha, Gardens and 7th Circle. Traffic around the circles can be heavy at busy times, so allow extra time. When you book, ask reception for the exact building entrance, floor and parking arrangements, and use the map location on each profile to plan your route.
