How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this country was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Published years of experience (up to 25)15
  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8
  • Profile photo5
  • Published services8
  • Listed insurers7
  • Confirmed opening hours6
  • Published consultation fee3
  • Map location3

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 this specialty or procedure?

Endocrinologists diagnose and manage conditions of the hormone-producing glands and metabolism. In Jordan, most visits concern diabetes. Endocrinologists also treat thyroid disorders, pituitary and adrenal conditions, problems with calcium, the parathyroid glands and bone strength such as osteoporosis, high cholesterol linked to metabolic disease, hormonal aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and growth or puberty concerns in children.

Your family doctor or internist can handle many of these problems. Referral to an endocrinologist is common when:

  • Blood sugar stays high despite treatment, or you are starting insulin, an insulin pump or a continuous glucose monitor
  • Diabetes is diagnosed during pregnancy, or you already have diabetes and are planning a pregnancy
  • Thyroid blood tests are abnormal, or you notice a lump or swelling in the neck
  • You have unexplained weight gain or loss, persistent tiredness, feeling unusually hot or cold, palpitations, or changes in hair and skin
  • Periods are irregular together with excess hair growth or acne, which can suggest PCOS
  • A fracture happens after a minor fall, or a bone density scan shows thinning bones
  • A child is growing noticeably more slowly than peers, or puberty starts very early or very late
  • A scan for another reason has picked up an incidental finding on the adrenal or pituitary gland

Some hormone-related situations cannot wait for a clinic appointment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if someone with diabetes has vomiting, deep or fast breathing, fruity-smelling breath, severe abdominal pain, drowsiness or confusion. These can be signs of diabetic ketoacidosis. Also seek emergency help for low blood sugar that causes confusion, seizures or unconsciousness, or that does not improve after taking sugar. Other urgent signs are very high fever with agitation and racing heart in someone with an overactive thyroid, and severe weakness, low blood pressure or collapse in someone known to have adrenal insufficiency.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best endocrinologists in Jordan are usually looking for a good fit rather than a single winner. The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not treatment quality. These practical points can help you narrow the list:

  • Match the services to your problem. Thyroid nodules may need ultrasound and needle biopsy. Some profiles list these, while others list thyroid assessment and treatment. If you use an insulin pump or glucose sensor, look for profiles that mention them.
  • Children and pregnancy. Some profiles state that they assess growth, short stature or puberty in children, or follow gestational diabetes. Confirm the age range when booking.
  • Diabetes complications. If you have foot ulcers or numbness, a profile that lists diabetic foot assessment and wound care may save you an extra referral.
  • Hospital clinic or private clinic. Hospital outpatient clinics can make on-site tests and admissions simpler. Independent clinics may offer more flexible scheduling.
  • Hours that fit your routine. Diabetes and thyroid care involves repeat visits. Check whether a clinic opens on Thursdays, Fridays, mornings or late afternoons.
  • Insurance. Each profile shows the insurers it lists. Confirm coverage directly, because contracts change.
  • Qualifications. Published boards and fellowships tell you about training. Use them to understand a doctor's background rather than to rank doctors.

What to expect at the first visit

A first endocrinology consultation usually takes longer than a routine appointment. The doctor will ask about your symptoms, past illnesses, medicines, family history (diabetes and thyroid disease often run in families), diet, activity and, for women, menstrual and pregnancy history. A physical examination follows. This may include weight, blood pressure, a neck examination, and checks of the feet in diabetes.

Many hormone conditions are diagnosed through blood tests. Some must be taken at a set time of day or after fasting, so ask when booking whether you should arrive fasting.

Bring with you:

  • All previous laboratory results, especially HbA1c, glucose, thyroid function, cholesterol and kidney tests, with dates
  • Scan reports and images, such as thyroid ultrasound or bone density scans
  • A list of every medicine and supplement you take, or the boxes themselves. Biotin supplements can affect some hormone test results, so mention them.
  • Your glucose meter, sensor readings or a written log if you have diabetes
  • Your insurance card and national ID or passport
  • For a child, growth records or vaccination booklets with recorded heights

Useful questions to ask: What do you think is causing my results? Which tests do I need, and do they require fasting? How often should I come for follow-up? What should I do if my readings become very high or very low? Who do I contact between visits?

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

Insurer names on a profile are a starting point, not a guarantee. Before you go, ask the clinic:

  • Is my specific insurance plan accepted for consultations, and does it also cover laboratory tests, ultrasound or biopsy?
  • Do I need a referral or pre-approval from my insurer?
  • What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged differently?
  • Can blood tests be done on site the same day, or should I arrive with recent results?
  • How far ahead do I need to book, and is there a cancellation policy?

If you are visiting Jordan, ask whether the clinic accepts international insurance or self-paying patients, and request an itemised receipt for reimbursement.

Getting there

This is a kingdom-wide list, and each profile states its own city and district. All nine providers listed here give Amman addresses, spread across several districts, so check the district on each card and the map location where it is shown. Amman traffic can be heavy at peak hours. Allow extra time, particularly for fasting blood tests early in the morning. If a clinic is inside a hospital or medical building, ask for the floor or room number when you book. Bring someone with you if you may have a biopsy or feel unwell after fasting.

Checklist before you book

  • The doctor's listed services match your condition (diabetes, thyroid, pituitary, bone, PCOS, child growth)
  • The clinic sees your age group, including children if relevant
  • Your insurer and plan are confirmed directly with the clinic
  • You have asked the consultation fee and whether tests cost extra
  • The confirmed hours suit repeat follow-up visits
  • You know whether to arrive fasting
  • Previous results, scans and your medicine list are gathered
  • Glucose meter or sensor data are downloaded or written down
  • You know the warning signs that need emergency care and the number 911

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of endocrinologists in Jordan chosen?
The nine profiles come from 21 endocrinology and diabetes profiles on ClinicsJo. They are ordered by a published 100-point score for how complete and checkable each profile is. The score covers verification, reviews, years of experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, opening hours, fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Is this a list of the best endocrinologists in Jordan?
No. The page answers searches for the best endocrinologists in Jordan by showing profiles you can compare openly, but it does not rank doctors by skill or results. Choose based on your condition, the services each profile lists, your insurer, the clinic location and the hours. Talk to your family doctor if you are unsure which specialist fits your situation.
Do I need a referral to see an endocrinologist in Amman?
Many private clinics in Amman accept direct bookings. However, some insurance plans require a referral or pre-approval before they cover a specialist visit. Check with your insurer and the clinic before booking. A referral letter from your family doctor, with recent test results, also helps the endocrinologist understand your history quickly.
Which of these doctors see children with growth or puberty problems?
Several profiles list paediatric endocrine services. Dr. Saher Sadeq Al Safarini states he sees patients from one year of age and lists short stature and delayed growth assessment. Dr. Duaa Okkeh lists growth and puberty assessment. Dr. Ali Oqil Al-Zubi lists growth and short stature assessment. Confirm age ranges with the clinic when booking.
Should I fast before my first endocrinology appointment?
It depends on the tests the doctor plans to order. Fasting glucose and some cholesterol tests need fasting, while many thyroid tests do not. Ask the clinic when you book. If you take insulin or certain diabetes medicines, do not skip meals or doses on your own, because this can cause low blood sugar. Ask your doctor for instructions first.
When is a diabetes or thyroid problem an emergency?
Call 911 or go to an emergency department for vomiting with fast breathing, drowsiness or confusion in someone with diabetes. Do the same for low blood sugar that causes confusion, seizures or unconsciousness. A racing heart with high fever and agitation in someone with an overactive thyroid also needs urgent care. So does sudden severe weakness or collapse in someone with adrenal insufficiency.
Which listed clinics open on Fridays?
Among these nine profiles, only Dr. Bassam Mohammad Taher at JoSante Healthcare Center — Amman Branch lists confirmed Friday hours, from 09:00 to 17:00. The other profiles list working days within Saturday to Thursday, with some closing earlier on Thursday or not opening that day. Confirm the hours with the clinic before travelling, as schedules can change on public holidays.
