Top 4 Gastroenterologists in Jabal Amman 2026

When do you need a gastroenterologist?

Gastroenterology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas. It includes endoscopy, which can be used both to diagnose and to treat. People in Amman commonly book for reflux and indigestion, Helicobacter pylori (stomach bacteria), irritable bowel syndrome, fatty liver follow-up, haemorrhoids and screening colonoscopy.

Consider a routine appointment if you have:

• abdominal pain that keeps returning or has lasted weeks
• a lasting change in bowel habits, such as new diarrhoea, constipation or both
• frequent heartburn, or heartburn that keeps coming back
• difficulty swallowing, or a feeling that food sticks on the way down
• blood in the stool, even small amounts
• unexplained weight loss, ongoing nausea, or abnormal liver results from a routine blood test

Mainstream guidance, including the NHS, advises adults to be seen promptly, not to wait and watch, if they have difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss or a persistent change in bowel habit.

Warning signs that need urgent care: call 911

• vomiting blood, or vomit that looks like coffee grounds
• black, tarry stools or heavy bleeding from the back passage
• sudden, severe abdominal pain, especially with a hard, tender belly
• yellowing of the skin or eyes together with fever, drowsiness or confusion
• food stuck so that you cannot swallow your own saliva
• fainting, dizziness or a racing heartbeat alongside any of the above

Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.

How to choose among the doctors here

People looking for the best gastroenterologists in Jabal Amman usually need something specific: a procedure, a diagnosis or long-term follow-up. These points help you match a profile to that need.

• Match the listed services to your problem. Dr. Ashraf Mohammad Sabri Ali and Dr. Sobhi Mahmoud Nassar both list gastroscopy, colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy.
• Dr. Ali also lists colorectal cancer screening, oesophageal and gastric pH monitoring, biliary endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound.
• Dr. Nassar also lists polyp removal, swallowing and stricture assessment, and intragastric balloon assessment.
• Dr. Osama Younis Tabeel and Dr. Tariq Mazzawi describe consultation, review of investigations and follow-up. Dr. Tabeel also assesses whether endoscopy is needed.
• Ask where procedures take place. Dr. Ali's profile says procedures are arranged in hospital facilities. For any endoscopy, ask where it will be done, whether sedation is used, and who reads any biopsy.
• Read the training entries. Each profile with education details shows where the doctor studied and trained. You can ask the clinic about anything you want to confirm.
• Plan for continuity. Inflammatory bowel disease, chronic liver disease and fatty liver need regular reviews. A clinic you can reach easily and whose hours suit you matters over time.
• Check your insurer against the insurers listed on the profile, then confirm with both sides.
• Remember what the order means. The list reflects how complete each profile is, not how skilled a doctor is or what results to expect.

What to expect at the first visit

Before you go

• Write a short timeline of your symptoms: when they started, what makes them better or worse, and any link to meals.
• Bring earlier reports: endoscopy or colonoscopy results, ultrasound reports, blood tests (including liver tests) and any H. pylori test.
• List every medicine and supplement you take, especially blood thinners, diabetes medicines, iron and painkillers. Do not stop any medicine unless a doctor tells you to.
• Note your family history of bowel cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or liver disease.

During the consultation

Expect questions about your history and an abdominal examination. The doctor may suggest blood or stool tests, an ultrasound, or an endoscopy at a later appointment. An endoscopy of the stomach usually needs a period of fasting. A colonoscopy needs bowel preparation the day before. Follow the clinic's written instructions exactly, because poor preparation can mean repeating the test. If you are sedated, bring an adult companion and do not drive for the rest of the day.

Useful questions

• What are the likely causes of my symptoms?
• Which tests do I need, and is an endoscopy necessary now?
• Where will the procedure be done, and will I be sedated?
• How and when will I get the results, including any biopsy?
• When should I come back, and what should prompt an earlier visit?

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

• Fees: ask for the consultation fee, and separately for the cost of any procedure, sedation and laboratory examination of biopsies.
• Insurance: Dr. Ali lists Arab Orient Insurance, Euro Arab Insurance Group, Bupa, GlobeMed and NatHealth. Dr. Tabeel lists Arab Orient Insurance. Confirm with both the clinic and your insurer that your specific policy is accepted.
• Pre-approval and referrals: many policies need approval before an endoscopy or a referral before a specialist visit. Ask about this before you book.
• Booking details: confirm the day, the time and the exact floor.
• Dr. Tabeel's profile says Patient Services confirms the clinic location and the appointment.
• Dr. Mazzawi's profile advises checking reception hours before visiting.

Use the contact options shown on each profile page to book.
