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. Profiles marked “Featured” are shown first, in the display order set by the platform administration.

  • 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
  • Published services8
  • Listed insurers7
  • Confirmed opening hours6
  • Published consultation fee3
  • Map location3

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 surgeon?

General surgeons assess and operate on a wide range of conditions: abdominal problems such as gallstones, appendicitis and hernias, thyroid and breast lumps, bowel and anal conditions, skin lumps such as lipomas and cysts, and, for some surgeons, blood vessel problems. Many visits do not end in an operation; a large part of the work is deciding whether surgery is needed at all, and when.

It is reasonable to book a planned visit if you have:

  • Recurring upper or right-sided abdominal pain, especially after meals, with nausea or bloating, or gallstones already seen on a scan
  • A bulge in the groin, around the navel or at an old scar that appears on standing or coughing
  • A lump in the neck, breast or under the skin that you cannot explain, or that is growing
  • Bleeding from the back passage, persistent anal pain, or a change in bowel habit lasting several weeks
  • Visible varicose veins with aching, swelling or skin changes on the legs
  • A referral from your family doctor after tests or a scan

A new breast lump, a lump that grows, or rectal bleeding with a change in bowel habit should be checked promptly rather than watched for months, even though most turn out to be benign.

Warning signs that need urgent care

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

  • Sudden, severe or worsening abdominal pain, particularly pain that moves to the lower right side with fever or vomiting
  • A hernia that becomes painful, hard or discoloured and cannot be pushed back, especially with vomiting or no passing of wind or stool
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes with fever, shivering or abdominal pain
  • Vomiting blood, or black, tarry stools
  • A leg that suddenly becomes cold, pale, numb or very painful
  • Fever, spreading redness or discharge from a recent surgical wound

How to choose among the surgeons here

If you searched for the best general surgeons in Jabal Amman, keep in mind that no listing can measure surgical skill. This page orders profiles by how complete their published information is. Use it to narrow your options, then judge fit during the consultation.

  • Match the subspecialty to your problem. General surgery is broad. The profiles here list different focus areas: bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, colorectal and anal conditions, breast and endocrine surgery, liver, pancreas and bile duct surgery, and vascular surgery. A surgeon whose published services include your exact concern is a sensible starting point.
  • Check qualifications on the profile. Several profiles list the Jordanian Board, and some list the Arab Board, the American Board of Surgery or overseas fellowships. Read the education section rather than relying on titles alone.
  • Ask where operations take place. The clinic and the hospital where surgery happens are often different. Ask which hospital, how admission works and who handles follow-up.
  • Consider timing. Clinics here share similar Saturday-to-Thursday patterns, but Thursday hours differ: some close in the early afternoon and others stay open until 17:00.
  • Read reviews with care. A single review says little; use reviews as one input among many.
  • Look at verification. Each profile shows its own platform verification status.

What to expect at the first visit

A first surgical consultation is usually about history, examination and a plan. The surgeon will ask about your symptoms, past operations, other conditions and medicines, and will examine the area of concern. You may be asked for blood tests, an ultrasound or other imaging before any decision.

What to bring

  • Any previous scans, reports and blood test results, ideally the images as well as the written reports
  • A list of all medicines and supplements, especially blood thinners, diabetes medicines and hormones
  • Your insurance card and ID, and any referral letter
  • A short written timeline of your symptoms

Questions worth asking

  • Do I need surgery now, later, or not at all? What happens if I wait?
  • Which approach would be used, keyhole (laparoscopic) or open, and why?
  • What are the main risks and the recovery time for someone like me?
  • Where would the operation take place, and how long is the hospital stay?
  • What follow-up is included, and who do I contact if a problem appears after discharge?

For weight-loss surgery in particular, expect a longer assessment covering medical history, nutrition and lifestyle, and ask about the long-term follow-up programme.

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

One profile on this page publishes a consultation fee: Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud lists 25 JOD. Two profiles list Arab Orient Insurance. Insurer lists change, so confirm directly even if your insurer appears.

Before booking, ask:

  • Is my insurance accepted for the consultation, and separately for any operation and hospital stay?
  • Does my policy need prior approval for surgery or imaging?
  • What does the consultation fee include, such as a follow-up visit or reviewing scans?
  • If surgery is advised, will I receive a written estimate covering the surgeon, anaesthesia, hospital and any devices?
  • Is the appointment at the listed clinic address, and on which days does this surgeon attend?

Getting there

All eight listed clinics are in Jabal Amman, within Amman, a city of around 5 million residents and the centre of Jordan's healthcare system. Patients often come from across the capital, including Abdoun, Sweifieh, Shmeisani, the 7th Circle, Gardens, Khalda, Dabouq, Jubeiha and Tla' Al-Ali.

  • Check the exact building and floor on each profile; several of the listed surgeons consult in the same medical building on different floors.
  • Allow extra time for traffic and parking, particularly at the start and end of the working day.
  • If surgery is planned at a hospital, confirm which one and plan that route separately. Amman's large hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, King Hussein Cancer Center, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.
  • In an emergency, call 911 rather than driving yourself.

Checklist before you book

  • Your symptoms match the surgeon's published services or subspecialty
  • You have read the education and experience on the profile
  • Insurance acceptance is confirmed for the consultation and any procedure
  • You know the consultation fee and what it covers
  • The clinic address, floor, day and time are confirmed
  • Previous scans, reports and a medicine list are ready
  • Your questions about options, risks, recovery and follow-up are written down
  • You know the urgent warning signs and to call 911 if they appear

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of general surgeons in Jabal Amman chosen?
ClinicsJo has 19 general surgery profiles for this area. The 8 shown are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable each profile is: platform verification, approved reviews, published experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, fee and map location. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Which surgeons on this page focus on weight-loss (bariatric) surgery?
Bariatric surgery appears on three profiles. Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud lists gastric sleeve and gastric bypass (mini and classic), Dr. Ashraf Haddad lists bariatric surgical assessment and bariatric surgery, and Dr. Moath Rabah lists bariatric surgery. Suitability depends on a full assessment of your health, so discuss options, risks and long-term follow-up with the surgeon.
Who lists laparoscopic gallbladder removal?
Laparoscopic gallbladder removal is listed by Dr. Mohammad Sami Al-Muhtaseb, Dr. Mahmoud Bals, Dr. Mohammad Abu Hilal and Dr. Moath Rabah. Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud lists gallbladder treatment. Gallstones that cause no symptoms do not always need surgery, so a consultation helps decide whether and when an operation makes sense for you.
Which listed surgeons accept insurance?
Arab Orient Insurance is listed on the profiles of Dr. Ashraf Haddad and Dr. Imad Mustafa, who both consult at Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics. Insurance agreements change, so call the clinic and your insurer before the visit, and ask separately whether any operation, hospital stay and imaging are covered and need prior approval.
How much does a consultation with a general surgeon in Jabal Amman cost?
The only published fee on this page is 25 JOD for a consultation with Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud. For any surgeon, ask the clinic what the fee includes, such as a follow-up visit or reviewing your scans, and request a written estimate before agreeing to any procedure.
Is a hernia an emergency?
Most hernias are not emergencies and can be assessed at a planned visit. Seek urgent care by calling 911 or going to an emergency department if a hernia becomes painful, firm or discoloured, cannot be pushed back, or comes with vomiting or being unable to pass wind or stool, as these can be signs of a trapped hernia.
Which clinics are open on Thursday afternoon?
Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud lists Thursday hours until 17:00, and Dr. Ashraf Haddad and Dr. Imad Mustafa also list Thursday until 17:00. The four surgeons at Al Khalidi Medical Plaza list Thursday until 13:30, and Dr. Ousama Jamil Masannat until 14:00. Confirm the specific surgeon's attendance when booking.
Why do some profiles appear first?
Profiles marked “Featured” appear first, in the display order set by the platform administration. They are a featured placement, not a measure of clinical quality; the rest of the list follows the published profile score. A featured profile shown on a district page may practise elsewhere in Amman — check the address on its card.
