Which specialties and services does this list cover in Aqaba?
This list of 15 profiles is weighted heavily towards dentistry. Thirteen of the doctors are dentists, one is an internal medicine consultant (Dr. Nabil Al-Daraghmeh) and one runs an orthopedic clinic (Dr. Abdel Jaber Affouneh). All fifteen practise in Downtown Aqaba.
Within dentistry, the published services cover most everyday needs: examinations, cleaning and tartar removal, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, crowns, bridges and children's dental care. Several profiles add implants, orthodontics or cosmetic work such as whitening, veneers and zirconia restorations. One profile, Dr. Ruby Adnan Aldaoud, lists oral and maxillofacial surgery, including jaw fractures, jaw cysts, salivary gland conditions and temporomandibular joint disorders.
The mix reflects which Aqaba profiles are most complete on ClinicsJo, not which specialties exist in the city. If you need a specialty that is missing here, such as paediatrics or obstetrics, browse the full set of 85 Aqaba profiles. For hospital-level care, the governorate's hospitals include Prince Hashim bin Abdullah II Military Hospital, Aqaba Modern Hospital, the Islamic Hospital and Aqaba University Hospital. Since 2025, a King Hussein Cancer Center building in Aqaba has also served patients from the southern governorates.
How to choose among the doctors here
People searching for the best doctors in Aqaba usually want a practical shortlist. These criteria can help you build one:
- Match the need to the sub-specialty. For a routine check-up, cleaning or a filling, almost every dental profile here lists these services. For replacing missing teeth, look at profiles listing implants or prosthodontics. For braces, look for orthodontics. For jaw pain, facial injury or a lump in the mouth, an oral and maxillofacial surgery profile is the closer match.
- Check your insurer by name. Most clinics here list the same 12 insurers, while three list Arab Orient Insurance. Insurer names that look alike, such as several NatHealth-administered plans, are easy to confuse, so match the exact name on your card.
- Use the confirmed hours. Hours vary widely. Dr. Ammar Al Smadi's centre opens only in the evening, Dr. Abdalmajeed Shandaq's clinic only in the daytime, Dr. Tariq Hassan Al-Banna's from 08:00, and two clinics (Dr. Mohammad Sayel Alsawa and Dr. Abdallah Mohammad Yaseen) list Friday hours.
- Look at what is published and checkable. Qualifications, verification status and biographies are shown on each profile. Dr. Nabil Al-Daraghmeh's profile is verified by the platform. Whatever a profile says, you can ask the clinic about the doctor's training and licensing for the treatment you need.
- For larger treatment plans, take your time. Implants, orthodontics and multi-tooth cosmetic work involve several visits and a significant commitment. Ask for a written plan, and a second opinion is reasonable before starting.
- Language. If you are a visitor or prefer English, say so when booking. Dr. Nabil Al-Daraghmeh's profile lists Arabic and English.
What to expect at the first visit
A first appointment is mainly about assessment. A dentist will usually ask about your history and symptoms, examine your teeth and gums, and may suggest X-rays before discussing options. An internist will review your history, medicines and any previous results. An orthopedic consultation typically includes questions about how the problem started, an examination of the joint or limb, and a review of any imaging.
What to bring:
- Your national ID or passport and your insurance card
- A list of current medicines, including supplements, and any allergies
- Previous reports, blood test results, X-rays or scans, ideally on paper or a USB drive
- For children, their vaccination or health booklet if you have it
Useful questions to ask:
- What do you think is causing this, and what are my options, including doing nothing for now?
- How many visits will this take, and what happens between them?
- What aftercare is needed, and what should prompt me to call the clinic?
Clinics are not the right place for emergencies. Call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department for chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke such as a drooping face or sudden weakness, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or a serious injury with an obvious deformity. For dental problems, facial swelling that spreads towards the eye or neck, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or swelling with a high fever needs urgent care the same day.
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
An insurer on a clinic's list does not guarantee that every service is covered. Before you book, ask:
- Is my specific insurer and plan accepted at this clinic, and for this service?
- Does the treatment need prior approval from the insurer, and who arranges it?
- What is the consultation fee, and are X-rays or other tests charged separately?
- Are cosmetic treatments such as whitening or veneers covered under my plan, or self-paid?
- Can I have a written estimate before any multi-visit treatment begins?
- What is the policy if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Confirm the doctor's hours on the day, especially for clinics with short sessions, such as the orthopedic clinic's two-hour evening slot.
Getting there
All fifteen clinics are in Downtown Aqaba, so most residents of Aqaba city can reach them easily. Patients travelling from Al-Quwaira, Wadi Rum, Al-Disah or Wadi Araba face a longer journey, so it is worth booking ahead, confirming the doctor will be in, and grouping tests and follow-up into as few trips as possible.
Two dental clinics on this list are inside hospital buildings: Dr. Ruby Adnan Aldaoud's practice is within Aqaba Modern Hospital's clinics, and Dr. Abdallah Mohammad Yaseen's clinic is at the Islamic Hospital. Each profile gives the clinic's own address and nearby reference points, so check it before setting out.
Checklist before you book
- Decide what you need: routine dental care, implants, orthodontics, oral surgery, internal medicine or orthopedics
- Shortlist profiles whose listed services match that need
- Check your insurer's exact name against the clinic's list
- Confirm the clinic's hours, including Thursday and Friday
- Ask about the consultation fee and any extra charges before the visit
- Ask about prior approval for treatments your insurer may need to authorise
- Gather ID, insurance card, medicine list and previous reports
- Mention any language preference when booking
- Know when to skip the clinic and call 911 instead
