How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this area was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order.

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need an endocrinologist?

Endocrinology deals with hormones and the glands that make them: the pancreas (insulin and blood sugar), the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the pituitary gland, the adrenal glands and the ovaries and testes. Endocrinologists also look after metabolism-related problems such as high cholesterol, obesity and bone thinning (osteoporosis). Most people in Amman are referred by a family doctor or internist. You can also book directly when a hormone problem is already known or suspected.

Common reasons to book a visit include:

  • Diabetes that is newly diagnosed, hard to control, appears during pregnancy, or needs insulin, an insulin pump or a glucose sensor
  • Diabetes complications, such as foot problems, numbness or kidney and eye changes found on routine checks
  • Thyroid symptoms, such as unexplained weight change, palpitations, feeling unusually hot or cold, tiredness, or a lump or swelling in the neck
  • Abnormal hormone results, for example thyroid, calcium, prolactin or cortisol tests flagged by another doctor
  • Irregular periods, excess hair growth or fertility concerns that may be hormonal, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • Children's growth, such as short stature or delayed puberty
  • Bone health after a fracture from a minor fall, or when a bone density scan shows thinning

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some hormone problems become emergencies. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you or someone with you has:

  • Very high blood sugar with vomiting, abdominal pain, deep or fast breathing, a fruity smell on the breath, confusion or drowsiness
  • Low blood sugar that causes confusion, seizures or unconsciousness, or that does not improve with a sugary drink
  • A fast heartbeat with high fever, agitation or confusion in someone with a known thyroid condition
  • Sudden severe weakness, vomiting, dizziness or fainting in someone with a known adrenal or pituitary condition
  • A neck swelling that makes breathing or swallowing difficult
  • A foot wound with spreading redness, fever, a bad smell or black skin

Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.

How to choose among the doctors here

When people search for the best endocrinologists in Amman, what usually matters most is a good fit between the clinic and your situation. Useful criteria:

  • Match the services to your condition. The services differ between profiles. Dr. Rami Abdullah Salameh lists pregnancy-related diabetes, continuous glucose monitoring and thyroid nodule fine-needle biopsy. Dr. Renad Awad lists thyroid ultrasound, thyroid needle biopsy and diabetic foot wound care. Dr. Fares Haddad lists osteoporosis and calcium disorder assessment and PCOS review.
  • Children. Dr. Saher Sadeq Al Safarini's profile states he sees children aged one year and older and lists short stature and delayed growth assessment. Dr. Ali Oqil Al-Zubi also lists growth and short stature assessment. Confirm the age range with the clinic before booking.
  • Devices. If you use or are considering an insulin pump, Dr. Al Safarini and Dr. Salameh both list insulin pump work.
  • Pituitary and adrenal conditions. These are listed by Dr. Haddad, Dr. Salameh and Dr. Hala Owaineh.
  • Training. Each entry shows the boards and fellowships published on the profile. Read them as background information, not as a ranking.
  • Practicalities. Location, insurer and hours often decide what you can keep up with. Diabetes and thyroid care usually means repeat visits over months or years.

What to expect at the first visit

A first endocrinology consultation is usually longer than a follow-up. Expect questions about your symptoms, family history, medicines and lifestyle. Expect a physical examination, which may include your neck, weight, blood pressure and, in diabetes, your feet.

What to bring:

  • All recent blood test results, especially sugar, HbA1c, thyroid, cholesterol, kidney function and any hormone tests, with dates
  • Previous scan reports, such as a thyroid ultrasound or bone density scan, and the images if you have them
  • A list or photos of every medicine and supplement you take, with the doses written as on the pack
  • Your glucose meter, sensor app readings or a written log if you have diabetes
  • Referral letters and summaries from previous doctors
  • Your insurance card and ID

Questions worth asking:

  • What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what tests are needed?
  • Should I fast or stop any medicine before the blood tests? Ask before changing anything yourself.
  • Can tests or an ultrasound be done here on the same day?
  • How often will I need follow-up, and who do I contact between visits?
  • What warning signs should make me seek urgent care?

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

Insurers listed on these profiles include Arab Orient Insurance, NatHealth, GlobeMed, Euro Arab Insurance Group, Newton Insurance, and Solidarity - First Insurance Company. Each entry shows its own list. A listed insurer does not guarantee that your particular policy is accepted, so ask:

  • Is my insurer and my specific policy or network accepted at this clinic?
  • Do I need a referral or pre-approval for the consultation, blood tests, ultrasound or biopsy?
  • What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit priced differently?
  • Are laboratory tests and imaging billed separately?
  • How far ahead do I need to book, and is there a cancellation policy?

If you are paying yourself, ask for the fee when you book so there are no surprises at reception.

Getting there

Amman's traffic peaks in the morning and late afternoon, and clinic car parks fill quickly, so allow extra time. Two of the clinics on this page are in Shmeisani and one is in Tla' Al-Ali. The others are in the areas shown on each profile. If you are coming from Sweifieh, Khalda, Dabouq, Jubeiha, Abdoun, the Gardens or the 7th Circle, check the clinic's exact building and floor before setting off.

For hospital-based clinics, ask which entrance serves the outpatient clinics. For Dr. Nidal Al Khatib, the profile gives room 316 on the third floor of Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital's outpatient clinics. Arrive early if blood tests are planned. If you have diabetes and your visit runs past a meal, bring a snack or a fast-acting sugar source.

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm the clinic treats your specific concern, and the age group if it is for a child
  • Check that the confirmed hours suit you; some clinics close earlier on Thursday or do not open that day
  • Ask whether your insurer and policy are accepted and whether pre-approval is needed
  • Ask for the consultation fee and whether tests are billed separately
  • Ask whether you should fast or prepare for blood tests
  • Gather previous results, scan reports, medicine list and glucose readings
  • Write down your symptoms, when they started and your questions
  • Know the urgent warning signs, and call 911 if they appear

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of endocrinologists in Amman chosen?
The seven profiles come from 13 endocrinology and diabetes profiles on ClinicsJo for Amman. They are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable each published profile is. The score counts items such as qualifications, biography, services, insurers, confirmed hours and map location. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so use it as a starting point for your own comparison.
Is there one best endocrinologist in Amman for everyone?
No. People searching for the best endocrinologists in Amman usually need the right match rather than a single name. A pregnancy-related diabetes case, a thyroid nodule, a child's growth concern and an adrenal condition each call for different services. Compare the listed services, location, insurer and hours on each profile. Then ask the clinic whether your specific problem is something they regularly assess.
Do I need a referral to see an endocrinologist in Jordan?
Many patients book directly at private clinics. However, some insurance policies require a referral or pre-approval before they cover a specialist visit, tests or procedures. Check with your insurer before booking. Even without a formal referral, bring any letter or test results from your family doctor or internist. This helps the endocrinologist avoid repeating tests and understand why you were sent.
Which doctors on this list see children with growth or hormone problems?
Dr. Saher Sadeq Al Safarini's profile states that he sees adults and children aged one year and older. It lists short stature and delayed growth assessment. Dr. Ali Oqil Al-Zubi's profile lists growth and short stature assessment. Before booking, call the clinic to confirm the age range they see. Bring the child's growth records, any previous X-rays or blood tests, and the parents' heights if known.
Where can I get a thyroid ultrasound or thyroid biopsy among these clinics?
Dr. Renad Awad's profile lists thyroid ultrasound and thyroid needle biopsy at her Shmeisani clinic. Dr. Rami Abdullah Salameh's biography lists thyroid nodules and fine-needle biopsy, with procedures following assessment at his practice. Whether a biopsy is needed depends on the doctor's examination and the ultrasound findings. Bring any earlier ultrasound reports and images to your first visit.
What should I bring to my first diabetes appointment?
Bring recent blood results, including HbA1c, kidney function and cholesterol tests, with their dates. Also bring a full list or photos of your medicines and your glucose meter or sensor readings. Add earlier doctors' reports and your insurance card. Write down any low-sugar episodes, foot problems or vision changes. Ask the clinic in advance whether you should fast before blood tests, but do not stop or change medicines on your own.
When is a hormone or diabetes problem an emergency?
Call 911 for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep breathing, confusion or drowsiness. Also call for low blood sugar causing confusion, seizures or unconsciousness. Other emergencies include a racing heart with fever and agitation in someone with thyroid disease, and sudden severe weakness or fainting in someone with an adrenal condition. A neck swelling that affects breathing, or an infected foot wound with spreading redness, also needs urgent care.
