Top 5 ENT Consultation Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need an ENT consultation?

An ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist, also called an otolaryngologist, assesses problems of the ears, nose, sinuses, throat and voice box, as well as related areas of the head and neck. They see both adults and children. A consultation is usually the first step. The doctor takes your history, examines you and then decides what to discuss next: tests, medicine, watchful waiting or a procedure.

Common reasons to book, based on what the doctors on this page publish:

• A blocked nose or sinus symptoms that keep coming back, or that last more than about 12 weeks
• A suspected deviated septum or nasal polyps
• Ear pain, ear discharge or repeated ear infections, especially in children
• Earwax that blocks hearing (the NHS advises against cotton buds, which can push wax deeper)
• Gradual hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or recurring dizziness
• Hoarseness lasting more than three weeks, trouble swallowing, or a lump in the neck that does not settle
• Loud snoring, especially with pauses in breathing during sleep
• Repeated tonsillitis, or large adenoids in a child who snores or breathes through the mouth

Many sore throats, colds and short sinus infections improve on their own within one to three weeks. A family doctor or pharmacist can usually help first. An ENT visit makes sense when symptoms persist or keep returning, or when they affect your sleep, hearing or voice.

When to seek urgent care instead

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you or your child has:

• Difficulty breathing, noisy high-pitched breathing (stridor), or drooling with an inability to swallow
• A severe sore throat with trouble opening the mouth, or swelling that is spreading in the neck
• A nosebleed that does not stop after 15–20 minutes of firm pressure
• Bleeding after a recent tonsil or nose operation
• Swelling, redness and pain behind the ear with fever
• Sudden weakness on one side of the face
• Sudden severe dizziness with slurred speech, double vision or weakness in a limb
• A button battery or magnet in the ear or nose, or any object that may have been inhaled

Sudden hearing loss in one ear also needs medical assessment the same day, because early treatment may matter.

How to choose among the doctors here

All five profiles publish an ENT consultation, and all five doctors practise in Amman. The differences are therefore mostly practical.

• Match services to your concern. Every profile covers broad ENT care, but the published emphases differ:
• Paediatric ENT appears in the profiles of Dr. Majdi Abdul Kareem and Dr. Khaled Hassan Badran.
• Dr. Marwan Al Halalmeh lists a children's hearing examination.
• Hearing and balance disorders is a listed sub-specialty for Dr. Imad Abu Romeh.
• Snoring care appears for Dr. Sultan Saad Jaber, Dr. Marwan Al Halalmeh and Dr. Imad Abu Romeh.
• Rhinoplasty appears for Dr. Sultan Saad Jaber and Dr. Khaled Hassan Badran.
• Read the qualifications on each profile. The listed degrees, boards and fellowships show where each doctor trained. They do not, by themselves, predict how a treatment will go for you.
• Check the hours against your schedule. Some clinics run full days, others open only in the late afternoon, and two list Friday hours.
• Check your insurer. The insurer lists range from a single company to twelve.
• Think about follow-up. Ear, sinus and post-operative care often need more than one visit, so a clinic you can reach easily matters.

There is no single answer to who the best ENT consultation doctors in Jordan are. The right choice for you is a doctor whose services, location, hours and insurance fit your situation, confirmed directly with the clinic.

What to expect at the first visit

A typical ENT consultation starts with questions about your symptoms, followed by an examination of the ears, nose, throat and neck. Depending on the complaint, the doctor may look inside the nose or throat with a thin endoscope, usually after a numbing or decongestant spray. They may also arrange a hearing test. Further tests, such as imaging, are decided case by case.

How to prepare

• Write down when your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and what you have already tried.
• For snoring, ask a partner to note any pauses in breathing, or to record a short clip.
• For dizziness, note how long episodes last and whether the room seems to spin.
• For a child, note how many ear or throat infections they have had in the past year. Also note any concerns about their hearing, speech or sleep.

What to bring

• Your ID and insurance card
• A list of your current medicines, including nasal sprays and blood thinners, and any allergies
• Previous hearing tests, scans or reports, and discharge summaries from any earlier ENT surgery
• A referral or approval letter, if your insurer requires one

Questions to ask

• What is the likely cause, and what else could it be?
• Do I need any tests, and what will they show?
• What are my options, including not treating for now?
• If a procedure is suggested, what are the risks, the recovery time and the alternatives?
• When should I come back, and which signs mean I should come sooner?

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

Most profiles list the insurers they accept, but coverage depends on your specific policy. Before you go, ask the clinic and your insurer:

• Is this doctor in my insurer's network for my plan level, and is an ENT consultation covered directly?
• Do I need a referral from a general practitioner, or prior approval?
• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit within a set period charged separately?
• Are endoscopy, hearing tests or earwax removal billed on top of the consultation?
• For a planned procedure, which facility would be used, and what approval is needed?

When booking, confirm the exact address and floor, that the doctor will be attending that day, and how early to arrive. Dr. Sultan Saad Jaber's profile specifically advises confirming his attendance when booking. Dr. Majdi Abdul Kareem's consultations are arranged in advance.

Getting there

All five doctors on this page practise in Amman, at locations spread across the city. According to their profiles, these are:

• Jabal Amman (Al Khalidi Medical Plaza)
• 7th Circle (JoSante Healthcare Center)
• Marj Al-Hamam
• Shmeisani
• Fifth Circle

Dr. Marwan Al Halalmeh's biography also mentions seeing patients in Al Wehdat, so ask which location applies to your appointment.

If you are travelling from another part of Jordan, choose an appointment time that leaves room for traffic, and ask the clinic about parking. Check the address shown on the profile before you set off. It also helps to bring a companion if a child is being seen, or if a minor procedure under local anaesthetic is possible.
