Top 4 ENT Clinics in Fifth Circle 2026

When do you need an ENT specialist?

An ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist, also called an otolaryngologist, diagnoses and treats conditions of the ears, nose, sinuses, throat, larynx (voice box) and vocal cords. Many ENT doctors also assess head and neck problems.

Common reasons people in Amman book an ENT visit include:

• Chronic or recurring sinusitis: facial pressure, a blocked nose, thick discharge or a reduced sense of smell lasting many weeks, or returning several times a year.
• Difficulty breathing through the nose: persistent one-sided or two-sided blockage. This can be linked to a deviated septum, nasal polyps or long-standing allergy.
• Loud snoring, especially with pauses in breathing: a bed partner may notice gasping or choking during sleep. Daytime sleepiness and morning headaches are common companions and are worth checking.
• Hearing loss or tinnitus: muffled hearing, ringing or buzzing in the ears, or a feeling of fullness that does not settle.
• Hoarseness lasting more than three weeks: mainstream guidance advises getting a voice change of this length checked, particularly in people who smoke.
• Repeated tonsillitis or ear infections in children: also a child who snores heavily, breathes through the mouth or seems not to hear well.
• Dizziness or balance problems: spinning sensations or unsteadiness, sometimes linked to the inner ear.

A general practitioner can handle many simple ear and throat infections. A specialist assessment is useful when symptoms persist, keep returning or affect sleep, hearing or speech.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some ENT symptoms should not wait for a routine clinic appointment. Call 911 or go to an emergency department if you or your child has:

• Difficulty breathing, noisy high-pitched breathing (stridor) or drooling with inability to swallow
• Rapidly increasing swelling of the throat, tongue or neck
• A nosebleed that does not stop after about 20 minutes of firm pressure, or heavy bleeding after throat or nose surgery
• High fever with severe one-sided throat pain and difficulty opening the mouth
• Swelling, redness and pain behind the ear with fever
• Sudden weakness of one side of the face
• A suspected object stuck in a child's airway

Sudden hearing loss in one ear, without an obvious cause such as wax or a cold, is also treated as urgent. NHS guidance advises being seen the same day.

How to choose among the ENT clinics in Fifth Circle

All four clinics on this page are single-doctor ENT practices in the Fifth Circle area. The useful differences are in their published services, opening hours and exact buildings.

• Match services to your problem. Check whether the clinic lists your concern. If you are worried about sinusitis, a blocked nose, snoring, hearing, voice or balance, look for that in its services. Some clinics publish a long list that includes procedures; others list consultations and assessments only.
• Children or adults. Two clinics state in their descriptions that they see both children and adults. If you are booking for a child, confirm this when you call.
• Hearing tests. If you need an audiogram, ask whether testing is done on site or arranged with a partner. Ask how results will be reviewed with you.
• Surgery arrangements. For procedures such as septoplasty, sinus surgery or tonsillectomy, ask where the operation would take place and what the follow-up plan is.
• Hours that fit your week. The listed hours run from Saturday to Thursday, with shorter days on Thursday at most of these clinics. One clinic opens at 09:00, which may suit early appointments.
• Ranking is not quality. The order reflects how complete each public profile is. It does not reflect clinical skill or outcomes, so use it as a starting point rather than a verdict.

What to expect at the first visit

A first ENT consultation usually starts with questions about your symptoms, followed by an examination of the ears, nose and throat. Depending on the problem, the doctor may look inside the nose or throat with a thin camera (endoscopy) during the visit. They may also suggest a hearing test or imaging.

To get the most from the appointment:

• Write down your symptoms: when they started, how often they happen and what makes them better or worse.
• Bring a list of all medicines, including nasal sprays, allergy tablets and blood thinners.
• Bring previous results, such as hearing tests, scans or reports from other doctors.
• For snoring, ask your partner to note what they observe, or record a short audio clip.
• For children, note how many throat or ear infections they have had in the past year and how they were treated.

Useful questions to ask include:

• What do you think is causing my symptoms?
• Do I need any tests, and are they done here?
• What are the options, including non-surgical ones?
• If surgery is suggested, what are the risks, the recovery time and the follow-up?

Do not clean deep inside the ears with cotton buds before your visit. They can push wax further in.

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

None of the four profiles currently publishes a consultation fee or a list of insurers. Confirm these details directly with the clinic before you go. When you call, ask:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Are procedures such as endoscopy, ear wax removal or hearing tests charged on top of the consultation?
• Does the clinic work with your insurance company, and do you need prior approval or a referral?
• For any planned surgery, what does the quoted cost include, and where will it be done?
• How far ahead do you need to book, and what is the cancellation policy?

Keep a note of what you are told so you can compare clinics fairly.

Getting there

Fifth Circle sits in the western part of Amman, the capital and the heart of Jordan's healthcare system. It is within easy reach of neighbourhoods such as Abdoun, Sweifieh, Shmeisani, the Gardens and 7th Circle.

The area has many medical complexes close together, so note the exact building name and floor from each clinic's entry above before you set off. Traffic around the circle can be heavy at peak times, so allow extra time. Ask the clinic about nearby parking when you book.

If your symptoms turn into an emergency, call 911. Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.
