Top 4 ENT Clinics in Shmeisani 2026

When do you need an ENT specialist?

An ENT specialist (otolaryngologist) diagnoses and treats conditions of the ear, nose, sinuses, throat, voice box and vocal cords. Common reasons to see one include:

• Long-lasting sinus inflammation
• Recurring tonsil problems
• Snoring and suspected sleep apnoea
• Hearing assessment
• Nasal polyps
• Breathing problems linked to the structure of the nose

Many sore throats, colds and mild ear infections settle on their own or with your family doctor's care. A specialist visit makes sense when symptoms last, keep coming back or affect daily life.

Signs it is worth booking an appointment

• Sinus symptoms such as a blocked nose, facial pressure or reduced smell that last for weeks or keep returning
• Ongoing difficulty breathing through the nose, or mouth-breathing in a child
• Loud, disruptive snoring, especially if someone notices pauses in your breathing or you feel very tired during the day
• Hearing loss or ringing in the ear (tinnitus) that does not go away
• Hoarseness that lasts more than about three weeks; book promptly if you smoke
• Repeated ear infections, ear discharge, or recurring dizziness and balance problems
• Frequent tonsillitis that disrupts school or work

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away for:

• Difficulty breathing, noisy breathing (stridor), drooling, or being unable to swallow saliva
• Rapidly growing swelling in the neck or under the tongue
• A nosebleed that does not stop after about 20 minutes of firm pressure, or heavy bleeding after throat or nose surgery
• Swelling or redness around the eye, double vision or reduced vision with a sinus infection
• Severe headache, stiff neck, confusion or high fever alongside ear or sinus symptoms
• Sudden facial weakness
• An object stuck in a child's nose, ear or throat that is causing distress or breathing problems

Sudden hearing loss in one ear also needs prompt medical assessment, ideally within a day or two.

How to choose among the clinics here

All four profiles are single-doctor ENT clinics in Shmeisani. Their published details differ, and these differences can help you decide.

• Match the services to your concern. Dr. Khaled Hassan Badran's profile has the most detailed service list. It covers paediatric ENT, sinus and nasal obstruction, hearing, dizziness and balance, voice and throat symptoms, and rhinoplasty consultations. Dr. Zaid Al Tamimi's description mentions ear infections, hearing, tonsils and snoring in adults and children. The profiles of Dr. Anas Hammad and Dr. Amjed Adnan Tarifi list general ENT consultation, review of symptoms and investigations, and follow-up. If you have a specific problem, such as a hearing test or snoring, ask whether the clinic handles it in-house.
• Check the hours against your schedule. Dr. Anas Hammad lists 09:00–17:00 and Dr. Amjed Tarifi 10:00–17:00, both Saturday to Thursday. Dr. Zaid Al Tamimi works mainly late morning to afternoon. Dr. Khaled Badran's hours are mostly afternoon and evening, and he is the only one of the four with Friday hours.
• Children. Two profiles mention children's ENT concerns in their published details. If you are booking for a child, say so when you call, so the clinic can allow enough time for the visit.
• Insurance. Only one profile lists an insurer. If you plan to use insurance, confirm coverage with the clinic and your insurer before the visit.
• Surgery questions. If you are being assessed for a procedure such as tonsil removal, polyp removal or nasal surgery, ask where it would be performed and what follow-up involves. Treatment decisions are made only after an examination.

What to expect at the first visit

A first ENT visit usually starts with your history and an examination of the ears, nose and throat. Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may look inside the nose or throat with a small camera (endoscope). They may also request a hearing test, imaging or other investigations.

What to bring

• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one
• A list of your current medicines, including nasal sprays and supplements, plus any allergies
• Previous reports: CT scans, hearing test results, lab work or letters from other doctors
• A short symptom timeline: when symptoms started, how often they occur and what makes them better or worse
• For snoring, notes or a short recording from a partner or family member describing your breathing at night
• For children, their medical history and how often infections have occurred

Questions worth asking

• What is the likely cause, and which tests do you recommend?
• What are the non-surgical options, and when would surgery be considered?
• What are the risks and the recovery time of any proposed procedure?
• When should I come back, and which symptoms mean I should seek care sooner?

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

None of the four profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly when you book. Useful questions:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Are tests such as a hearing assessment or endoscopy included, or billed separately?
• Dr. Khaled Hassan Badran's clinic lists Arab Orient Insurance. Check that your specific policy is accepted and whether you need a referral or prior approval.
• For the other clinics, ask whether they accept your insurer before you go.
• Will the doctor be present at the time you are booked? Several of these clinics themselves advise confirming the doctor's appointment in advance.
• For any planned procedure, ask what insurer pre-approval is needed and how long it usually takes.

Getting there

Shmeisani is one of Amman's central districts and has a high concentration of medical clinics. Two of the clinics on this page describe their location in relation to Specialty Hospital, a well-known reference point in the area. Patients coming from other parts of Amman, such as Abdoun, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, the 7th Circle or Dabouq, can use their usual route into central Amman. Parking can be busy during daytime clinic hours, so allow extra time. Ask the clinic for directions to the right building and floor when you confirm your booking.

• Confirm whether your insurer and policy are accepted
• Confirm the doctor will be present on your appointment day
• Gather previous scans, hearing tests and a list of your medicines
