Top 6 General Practitioners in Amman 2026

When do you need a general practitioner?

A general practitioner (GP) is usually your first point of contact for health care. GPs look after people of all ages, from short-lived illnesses to the long-term follow-up of chronic conditions. When something needs a specialist, they arrange a referral.

Consider booking a GP visit for:

• New or sudden symptoms that are not an emergency, such as fever, cough, sore throat, flu-like illness, stomach upset, a rash or unexplained tiredness.
• A routine or annual check-up, especially if you have risk factors or have not had one for a while.
• Follow-up of a long-term medicine, for example for blood pressure, diabetes or asthma. Your GP can review whether the treatment still fits you.
• Injections and vaccinations, or health certificates for work, study or travel.
• A referral when you are unsure which specialist you need.
• Mental health concerns such as low mood, anxiety, poor sleep or difficulty concentrating. These are part of primary care too.

The six doctors here fall into two groups. Four are GPs at Mind Clinic Group whose published services focus on mental health assessment and talking therapy. Two run general medicine clinics in Abu Nseir, with consultations, investigation review and follow-up.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you or someone with you has:

• Chest pain or pressure, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw or back
• Sudden difficulty breathing
• Signs of stroke: a drooping face, weakness in an arm or leg, or slurred speech
• Severe bleeding, fainting or collapse, or a seizure
• A sudden, severe headache unlike any before
• High fever with a stiff neck, confusion or a rash that does not fade when pressed
• Swelling of the face or throat after a possible allergic reaction
• Thoughts of seriously harming yourself or someone else

How to choose among the doctors here

Many people search for the best general practitioners in Amman. A more useful question is which doctor fits your need, your schedule and your part of the city. These criteria can help:

• Match the services to your reason for visiting. For coughs, fevers, medication reviews or a second look at test results, the two Abu Nseir clinics list general medicine consultations and investigation review. For mood, anxiety, ADHD or other mental health concerns, the four Mind Clinic Group profiles list assessment, psychotherapy and follow-up sessions. If you need a physical check at a mental-health-focused practice, ask whether it is offered before booking.
• Check the age groups described. Dr. Sondos Dahoud's biography covers children through older adults and includes parenting therapy. Dr. Dunia Salameh describes work with children, young people and adults. Dr. Aseel Njadat describes young people and adults. Dr. Mohammad Omari describes adults and older adults, and his profile lists home visits.
• Compare confirmed hours. Mind Clinic Group lists Saturday to Wednesday, 09:00–21:00, which suits evening visits. Dr. Ludmila Nikolai Al Rimawi's clinic opens at 07:00 on Tuesdays and is open on Thursdays. Dr. Ibrahim Abu Hussein's clinic is open Saturday to Thursday, 10:00–17:00.
• Think about continuity. A GP who sees you regularly gets to know your history. Choose a clinic you can realistically return to.
• Read the qualifications listed. Where a profile shows education, it tells you where the doctor trained and when.
• Remember what the order means. The ranking reflects how complete each profile is. It does not reflect skill or outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

A first GP visit usually starts with a conversation about why you came, your medical history and any medicines you take. Depending on the problem, an examination follows. The doctor may suggest tests, a treatment plan, a follow-up visit or a referral.

What to bring

• Your ID and, if you have one, your insurance card
• A list of all medicines, vitamins and supplements you take
• Previous reports, laboratory results and imaging, on paper or on your phone
• Known allergies and your vaccination record, especially for children
• A short timeline of your symptoms: when they started, what makes them better or worse

Questions worth asking

• What could be causing this, and what else should be ruled out?
• Do I need any tests, and what will they show?
• When should I come back, and which changes mean I should seek help sooner?
• Do I need a specialist, and which kind?

If the visit is about mental health

A mental health assessment often takes longer than a routine consultation. The doctor may ask about mood, sleep, appetite, stress, relationships and family history, and may use questionnaires. A computerised ADHD test is usually one part of a wider assessment, not a diagnosis on its own. Bring someone you trust if that helps, and be as open as you can. What you share helps the doctor understand your situation.

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

Fees and insurance arrangements can change, so confirm them directly with the clinic before you go. Useful questions:

• What is the current consultation fee, and what does it include?
• Are follow-ups, therapy sessions, multi-session packages or tests charged separately?
• Do you accept my insurer, and do I need prior approval or a referral?
• For home visits: which areas do you cover, and how is the visit arranged?
• Which languages can the consultation be held in?
• What is the policy on late arrival or cancellation?

Book through the ClinicsJo profile. Before you leave home, confirm the date, time and exact service you are booking.

Getting there

Amman is home to around 5 million people, and GP clinics are spread across districts such as Abdoun, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Shmeisani, 7th Circle and Dabouq. Use the address on each profile, and when booking ask for the building name, floor and any nearby reference point. Allow extra time at peak traffic hours and check parking in advance.

If your GP refers you on, Amman's major hospitals include:

• Jordan University Hospital
• King Hussein Medical Center
• Al-Bashir Hospital
• King Hussein Cancer Center
• Specialty Hospital
• Istishari Hospital

Your doctor can advise which is appropriate for your situation. In an emergency, call 911 rather than driving yourself.
