How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this area was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Published years of experience (up to 25)15
  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8
  • Profile photo5

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need a general internal medicine specialist?

General internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases in adults. It is especially useful for conditions that affect several body systems at once. Internists commonly:

  • follow diabetes and high blood pressure
  • carry out comprehensive annual check-ups
  • assess digestive complaints
  • monitor thyroid disorders
  • investigate anaemia
  • organise long-term medicines so they work together safely

Consider booking a visit if you have:

  • Vague, persistent symptoms: for example tiredness, unexplained weight loss, poor appetite or night sweats lasting more than a few weeks
  • A new diagnosis or high readings: a new diagnosis of diabetes or high blood pressure, or readings that stay high at home
  • Several long-term conditions: a growing list of medicines that you want reviewed as a whole
  • Ongoing digestive symptoms: recurrent heartburn, stomach pain or bloating, or a change in bowel habit
  • A planned operation: one that needs a pre-operative medical assessment
  • No recent check-up: particularly after age 40, when checking blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol becomes more important

An internist can also help you work out whether you need a subspecialist, such as a cardiologist, endocrinologist or gastroenterologist. They can then help coordinate your care between doctors.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you, or someone with you, has any of the following:

  • Chest pain, pressure or tightness, especially if it spreads to the arm, jaw or back, or comes with sweating or breathlessness
  • Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, slurred speech or sudden confusion
  • Severe difficulty breathing
  • Vomiting blood, or black, tarry stools
  • Fainting
  • A person with diabetes who becomes confused, very drowsy or hard to wake
  • High fever with a stiff neck, a new rash or confusion

In these situations, call 911, Jordan's emergency number, or go straight to the nearest emergency department.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best general internal medicine specialists in Amman usually need someone they can reach easily, who deals with their specific concern, and whose clinic fits their insurance and timetable. The seven profiles differ in several practical ways.

  • Match services to your need. All seven profiles list chronic disease follow-up, but some also list tests done in the clinic:
  • Dr. Mohammad Talat Al Bitar and Dr. Ahmad Jamal Al Dawod list ECG, echocardiography and abdominal ultrasound.
  • Dr. Al Dawod also lists spirometry.
  • Dr. Amy Fawzi Khoury lists ECG, audiometry and pulmonary function testing.

Having a test at the same visit can save you a second trip. - Look at each profile's focus. The profiles emphasise different areas: - Dr. Bandar Jamaldien Ghazal: cardiovascular risk and lipid disorders - Dr. Mazen Asayreh: fatigue, anaemia and chronic disease in older adults - Dr. Mohammad Khader Abu El-Haija: fever, cough and infectious disease consultation - Dr. Khoury: pre-travel care and immigration medical examinations - Dr. Ahmad Ababneh: preventive care and health risk assessment - Read the qualifications. Each profile shows its published degrees and boards, such as the Jordanian Board in Internal Medicine, the American Board of Internal Medicine or Fellowship of the American College of Physicians. - Fit the hours to your life. Opening times vary: - Dr. Al Bitar and Dr. Al Dawod see patients from mid-afternoon into the evening, which suits people who work during the day. - Dr. Khoury's clinic opens early in the morning. - The hospital outpatient clinics open from late morning. - Think about continuity. Diabetes, blood pressure and thyroid conditions are best followed by the same doctor over time. Choose a clinic you can realistically return to every few months.

Remember that the list order reflects how complete each profile is, not treatment quality or outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

A first visit with an internist is usually longer than a follow-up. Expect:

  • a detailed history of your symptoms, past illnesses, family history and medicines
  • an examination, including blood pressure and weight
  • possibly blood tests or other investigations

Ask the clinic in advance whether you should fast before any blood tests. Do not stop or change your regular medicines unless a doctor advises you to.

What to bring

  • Your ID and insurance card
  • All current medicines in their original packs, including supplements and herbal products
  • Recent lab results, imaging reports, ECGs and hospital discharge summaries
  • A log of home blood pressure or blood sugar readings, if you keep one
  • Any referral letter or surgeon's request for a pre-operative assessment

Questions worth asking

  • What could be causing my symptoms, and which tests do I need?
  • What blood pressure or blood sugar targets suit me?
  • Do any of my medicines overlap or interact?
  • When should I come back, and what should make me seek help sooner?
  • Do I need to see a subspecialist?

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

  • Check your policy, not just the company name. Several profiles list accepted insurers. Dr. Abu El-Haija's profile lists eleven, Dr. Ghazal's seven and Dr. Ababneh's five. Even so, call your insurer or the clinic to confirm that your specific policy and network are accepted.
  • Ask about pre-approval. Tests such as echocardiography or ultrasound may need approval from your insurer before they are done.
  • Ask about costs up front. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and the cost of any tests. Also ask whether a follow-up visit within a set period is charged separately.
  • Understand the booking route. Dr. Ababneh's appointments are coordinated through the hospital booking service. For other clinics, ask whether they take same-day or walk-in patients.
  • Ask about results. Ask how test results are shared and whether reviewing them needs another visit.

Getting there

Amman has around 5 million residents, and traffic can make a short distance slow at rush hour. Allow extra time, especially for afternoon appointments.

  • Tla' Al-Ali: Dr. Ghazal (room 107) and Dr. Asayreh (room 106) see patients at the same hospital outpatient clinics, on the first floor.
  • Shmeisani: Dr. Abu El-Haija's clinic.
  • Abdoun: Dr. Khoury's clinic.
  • Other areas: The remaining clinics are in the areas shown on their profiles and in the comparison table.

Use the map location on each profile, and ask the clinic about parking, lift access and the exact floor before you go. If you are later referred for hospital care, Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.

Checklist before you book

  • The doctor's listed services match your main concern
  • The clinic's hours fit your work or family schedule
  • Your specific insurance policy is confirmed with the clinic or insurer
  • You have asked about the consultation fee and any test costs
  • You know whether to fast before blood tests
  • Your medicines, reports and home readings are packed
  • You have the clinic's area, floor and room
  • You know the warning signs that mean calling 911 instead of waiting for an appointment

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of internal medicine specialists in Amman chosen?
The seven doctors come from 13 general internal medicine profiles on ClinicsJo for Amman. They are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable each profile is. The score covers verification, reviews, published experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, fee and map location. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
What is the difference between an internist and a general practitioner?
An internist has completed postgraduate specialist training in internal medicine and focuses on adults. Internists often manage complex or multiple long-term conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and anaemia. A general practitioner or family doctor offers broad first-contact care, often for all ages. Both can be a sensible first stop, and either can refer you on when a subspecialist is needed.
Do I need a referral to see an internist in Amman?
Private internal medicine clinics in Amman generally let you book directly. However, some insurance policies require a referral or pre-approval before they cover a specialist visit or tests. Before booking, check your policy terms with your insurer and ask the clinic how it handles approvals.
Which internists on this list see patients in the evening?
Dr. Ahmad Jamal Al Dawod's confirmed hours in Tabarbour are Saturday to Thursday, 15:00–21:00. Dr. Mohammad Talat Al Bitar's clinic in Marka opens from 15:00 and closes between 19:30 and 20:30 depending on the day. These suit people who cannot attend during working hours. Confirm the day's schedule with the clinic before you go.
Can an internist do my check-up before surgery?
Pre-operative assessment is a common reason to see an internist. It is particularly useful if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or other long-term conditions. Bring your surgeon's request, your medicines and recent results. Ask the clinic in advance which tests are usually needed, and whether you need to fast.
Which doctor here offers travel vaccines or immigration medicals?
Dr. Amy Fawzi Khoury's profile lists pre-travel care and immunisation, immigration medical examinations and a Diploma in Travel Medicine from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Her clinic is in Abdoun and sees patients aged 16 and above. Book well ahead of your travel date, because some vaccines need time or more than one dose.
How often should I have a check-up after age 40?
Mainstream guidance recommends regular blood pressure checks for adults. It also recommends screening for diabetes and cholesterol, with frequency based on your age, weight, family history and other risks. Many people searching for the best general internal medicine specialists in Amman want an annual review. Ask your doctor what schedule suits your situation, since the right interval varies from person to person.
