Top 6 Gastroenterology Follow Up Clinics in Jordan 2026

When do you need gastroenterology follow-up?

Gastroenterology covers the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas. A follow-up visit is a planned review after a first assessment, an endoscopy, a hospital stay or a new diagnosis. It is also routine for long-term digestive conditions.

Common reasons for regular follow-up include:

• Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis): checking symptoms, blood or stool tests and how treatment is working
• Chronic liver conditions, including hepatitis and fatty liver: reviewing liver tests and imaging over time
• Reflux and dyspepsia that come back or do not settle as expected
• H. pylori infection or stomach ulcers: confirming the outcome of treatment when your doctor advises a re-test
• Coeliac disease or irritable bowel syndrome: reviewing diet, symptoms and any new changes
• Results from gastroscopy or colonoscopy, such as biopsy findings or polyps that need a planned repeat examination

Book a review sooner than planned if you notice ongoing changes in bowel habit, new or worsening tummy pain, persistent heartburn, bloating that does not settle, unexplained weight loss, or tiredness with possible anaemia. Also book if a long-term condition seems to be flaring. Do not stop or change prescribed medicines on your own; discuss any change with your doctor first.

Seek urgent care or call 911 if you have any of the following:

• Vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds
• Black, tarry stools, or heavy bleeding from the back passage
• Severe or sudden abdominal pain
• A hard, swollen abdomen
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes with confusion or drowsiness
• Food stuck in the throat so that you cannot swallow saliva
• Signs of dehydration, such as very little urine or dizziness on standing
• High fever during a bowel disease flare

How to choose among the clinics here

All six profiles publish gastroenterology follow-up, so compare the practical details that matter for ongoing care.

### Continuity with one doctor Follow-up works best when the same doctor sees you over time. Three profiles are single-doctor gastroenterology clinics. The hospital-based clinics and the medical plaza link one or two gastroenterologists among many specialists. If you choose a multi-specialty setting, book by the doctor's name each time.

### Match the services to your condition Read each profile's service list. Some focus on liver and hepatitis follow-up. Others list inflammatory bowel disease, H. pylori and ulcer care, reflux or irritable bowel syndrome. One lists more specialised tests, such as manometry and capsule endoscopy. If your follow-up may lead to an endoscopy, ask where it would take place.

### Location and hours Regular reviews are easier when the clinic is close to home or work. Check the Thursday hours, because several clinics close earlier that day.

### Other specialties under one roof If you also see a kidney, heart, endocrine or rheumatology specialist, a multi-specialty setting may make it easier to coordinate visits and tests.

What to expect at the first visit

A first follow-up visit with a new gastroenterologist usually starts with a review of your history so far. The doctor will ask about your symptoms since the last assessment and your current medicines, and may examine your abdomen. Depending on your condition, they may request blood tests, stool tests, imaging or an endoscopy. They will also agree on a follow-up schedule with you.

### What to bring - Previous endoscopy and colonoscopy reports, plus biopsy results - Recent blood tests, especially liver tests and blood counts - Imaging reports and discharge summaries - A list of all medicines and supplements, with doses as written on the packs - Your insurance card and ID - A short diary of symptoms, bowel habits and any trigger foods

### Questions worth asking - What do my latest results show, and what is the plan if things change? - How often should I be reviewed, and which tests are due before each visit? - Which symptoms mean I should call the clinic sooner? - If I need an endoscopy, how do I prepare, and where will it be done?

If an endoscopy is planned, the clinic will give you preparation instructions, such as fasting or bowel preparation. Follow those instructions rather than general advice from elsewhere.

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

Four of the six profiles list Arab Orient Insurance. Even so, check your own policy before every visit, because cover can differ by plan. When you call, ask:

• Is the consultation covered, and is a referral or pre-approval needed?
• Are endoscopy, laboratory tests and capsule studies covered separately?
• What is the consultation fee, and is there a reduced fee for a follow-up within a set period?
• Will a procedure be billed by the clinic or by the facility where it takes place?

For hospital outpatient clinics, book by the doctor's name. Confirm that the doctor will be in clinic that day and which floor to go to. Hospitals that run around the clock do not necessarily offer walk-in specialist appointments.

Getting there

All six listed profiles give addresses in Amman, in different districts. Each entry above states its own district, building and floor.

If you are travelling from another governorate, try to book a late-morning slot. This leaves time for traffic and parking, and for any blood tests requested on the day. Ask the clinic whether fasting is needed before same-day tests. If you are having sedation for an endoscopy, arrange for someone to drive you home.

Large medical complexes and hospital buildings can be confusing to navigate. Note the building name, floor and room number when you book, and allow extra time to find the clinic.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm the clinic lists the follow-up you need, such as liver, IBD, H. pylori, reflux or post-endoscopy review
• Book by the gastroenterologist's name, especially at multi-specialty centres
• Check the opening hours for your preferred day, including Thursday
• Ask whether your insurer and plan are accepted, and whether pre-approval is needed
• Ask about the consultation fee and any separate procedure or lab charges
• Confirm the building, floor and room
• Gather previous reports, results and your medicine list
• Ask about preparation if tests or endoscopy may be done
• Know the warning signs that need urgent care, and that the emergency number is 911
