Top 5 Endoscopy for liver Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Endoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to look at the lining of the digestive tract. Gastroscopy examines the food pipe, stomach and first part of the small bowel, while colonoscopy examines the large bowel. The doctor can often treat findings during the same session, such as removing a polyp or treating a bleeding spot.

For liver conditions, the picture is more indirect. Liver disease is usually assessed with blood tests, imaging and clinical review, and the liver itself is not normally viewed through an endoscope. Endoscopy becomes part of liver care mainly when advanced liver disease causes complications in the digestive tract. In people with cirrhosis, for example, enlarged veins in the food pipe or stomach (varices) can bleed, and endoscopy is used to check for them and to treat them. The gastroenterologists listed here also offer liver disease follow-up, so one clinic can often cover both areas.

Book a visit with a gastroenterologist if you have:

• heartburn, indigestion or upper abdominal pain that keeps coming back
• difficulty or discomfort when swallowing
• unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
• a lasting change in bowel habits, such as persistent diarrhoea or constipation
• anaemia or blood in the stool found on tests
• a known liver condition that needs regular review
• a family history of bowel or stomach cancer, or a bowel screening result your doctor wants followed up

Some symptoms need emergency care rather than a booked appointment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away if you have vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, black or bloody stools, sudden severe abdominal pain, fainting, yellowing of the skin or eyes with confusion or unusual drowsiness, or fever with belly pain.

How to choose among the doctors here

Start with the reason for your visit. Some of these doctors list upper endoscopy and colon screening as core services, while others list advanced procedures such as ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound or capsule endoscopy. If you have a specific test in mind, check that the profile names it in its services before you book.

Next, look at location and hours. All five clinics are in Amman: two in Shmeisani, one in Wadi Saqra, one in Jabal Amman and one in the 3rd Circle area. Opening hours differ, and Thursday hours are shorter for several doctors, so compare them with your own schedule and with any preparation day the clinic may ask for.

Then check the practical details each profile publishes: the consultation fee, the insurers listed, the languages spoken and the biography. These help with planning, but they do not measure how well a doctor treats patients. The order on this page follows how complete each published profile is. It is not a ranking of clinical quality, and no profile here should be read as the most skilled.

Finally, ask how the doctor works with other teams. For liver disease, ask whether the gastroenterologist coordinates with a hepatologist or liver team when needed, and who will explain the results of any procedure.

What to expect at the first visit

Your first visit is usually a history and examination, followed by a plan. Bring any previous endoscopy or colonoscopy reports, recent blood test results, scans and a full list of the medicines and supplements you take. Tell the doctor if you take blood thinners or medicines for diabetes, because these can change how a procedure is planned. Bring your ID and your insurance card if you have one.

Prepare your questions in advance. Useful ones include:

• Which test do you recommend, and what can it show or miss?
• Will I need sedation, and how long will recovery take?
• Who should drive me home afterwards?
• Do I need any fasting or preparation, and when should I start it?
• How and when will I get my results, and what happens next?
• If treatment is needed during the procedure, what does that involve?

Write the answers down. Clinic visits can feel rushed, and a short written plan makes it easier to follow up correctly.

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

The published consultation fees are 30 JOD for Dr. Raed Abu Ghosh and Dr. Mohammad Mahmoud Rashid, 25 JOD for Dr. Mustafa Ramadan, and 20 JOD for Dr. Sobhi Mahmoud Nassar and Dr. Mahmoud Khalil Al Sheikh. These are consultation fees only. Ask each clinic for the full cost of any endoscopy, anaesthesia or follow-up before you agree to a procedure.

Insurers differ from profile to profile. Each doctor lists the insurers they publicly show, and these lists vary in length. Before booking, check with your insurer that both the doctor and the clinic are covered for consultations and for endoscopy, and ask the clinic whether any pre-approval is needed.

To book, use the contact options shown on each doctor's profile on this platform. Confirm the day and time, and check the hours again if you are travelling from outside Amman. Ask whether you should arrive early for registration.

Getting there

All five clinics are in Amman. Enter the district shown on the profile into a map app, and add the clinic name if you can see it. The districts are Shmeisani, Wadi Saqra, Jabal Amman and 3rd Circle. Allow extra time for traffic at busy hours. If you may be sedated, plan your journey home in advance, because you should not drive yourself after sedation.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm that the profile lists the procedure or service you need.
• Check the clinic's confirmed hours for the day you plan to attend.
• Note the published consultation fee and ask about the full cost of any procedure.

• Tell the clinic about blood thinners, diabetes medicines and any allergies.
• Ask who will explain your results and how follow-up will be arranged.
• Arrange a driver if you may have sedation.
