Top 6 General Surgeons in Jubaiha 2026

When do you need a general surgeon?

General surgery covers operations on the abdomen and its organs, hernias, the thyroid, the gallbladder, blood vessels, and lumps in or under the skin. Common procedures in the specialty include keyhole (laparoscopic) gallbladder removal, hernia repair, thyroid surgery, appendix removal, breast surgery, and removal of fatty lumps and cysts.

All five surgeons on this page work in surgical oncology, the branch that deals with operations for tumours. Some also have further focus areas, such as colorectal, liver and pancreas, breast, or endocrine surgery. That makes this list most relevant if a family doctor or specialist has raised the possibility of a tumour, or has found something that needs a surgical opinion.

It is reasonable to ask for a surgical assessment, usually after seeing your GP or a specialist first, if you notice:

• Recurrent abdominal pain together with digestive symptoms
• A lump anywhere on the body that has no clear explanation, including in the breast or the neck
• A visible bulge in the groin or abdominal wall that may be a hernia
• Known gallstones with repeated attacks of pain
• Lasting changes in bowel habits, or blood in the stool

Warning signs that need emergency care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if any of the following happens. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department:

• Severe or rapidly worsening abdominal pain, especially pain that moves to the lower right side, with fever or vomiting
• A hernia that becomes painful, firm or discoloured and can no longer be pushed back, particularly with vomiting or inability to pass wind
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes together with fever, shivering or severe upper abdominal pain
• Vomiting blood, or black, tarry stools
• A swollen abdomen with inability to pass stool or wind

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best general surgeons in Jubaiha usually want to know who fits their particular problem. On this list, every surgeon is based at King Hussein Cancer Center and lists surgical oncology. The main differences between them are their focus areas:

• Basim Aljalabneh serves at King Hussein Cancer Center as consultant, Surgical Oncology.
• Amro Mureb serves at King Hussein Cancer Center as consultant, Surgical Oncology.
• Ali Dabous serves at King Hussein Cancer Center as consultant Transplant & Oncosurgery.
• Ali Al-Ebous serves at King Hussein Cancer Center as consultant Oncosurgery and Breast Surgery.
• Mohammad Al-Qaisi serves at King Hussein Cancer Center as consultant Surgical Oncologist and Endocrine Surgeon.

Practical points to weigh:

• Match the focus area to your referral. If your doctor has written a referral letter, it usually names the organ or problem. Use that to pick the most relevant profile.
• Consider whether a cancer centre is the right setting. For a routine hernia or uncomplicated gallstones, ask whether these surgeons see such cases. General surgery is also offered at other hospitals across Amman.
• Confirm appointments with King Hussein Cancer Center before visiting; a verified schedule is not available for each physician. Consult the current physician profile to arrange a visit.
• Read the ranking correctly. The order reflects profile completeness only. It says nothing about surgical outcomes, so it should not decide your choice on its own.

What to expect at the first visit

A first surgical consultation is mainly about understanding the problem and deciding on the next step. An operation is not always the outcome. The surgeon will usually take a history, examine the relevant area, review previous tests, and may order more imaging, blood tests or a biopsy.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport and your insurance card
• Any referral letter from your GP or specialist
• Previous scan reports and images (ultrasound, CT, MRI, mammogram), on a disc or digital copy if available
• Pathology or biopsy reports and recent blood test results
• A list of your current medicines and allergies, including blood thinners
• Notes on past operations and any chronic conditions

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what further tests are needed?
• Is surgery recommended, and what are the alternatives, including watching and waiting?
• If surgery is needed, is it keyhole or open, and what are the main risks?
• How long is the hospital stay and recovery, and when can I return to work?
• Who handles follow-up, and whom should I contact if symptoms worsen?

It often helps to bring a family member to take notes, especially when a tumour is being discussed.

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

Costs and coverage for surgical care can vary a lot, so confirm the details before your visit rather than at the reception desk. When you call to book, ask:

• The consultation fee, and whether follow-up visits cost the same amount
• Insurance acceptance: whether your insurer and your specific policy are accepted, and whether prior approval is needed for the consultation, tests or surgery
• Referral requirements: whether a referral letter or previous reports are needed before an appointment can be given
• Waiting time for a first appointment, and whether earlier slots exist for urgent referrals
• Estimated costs if surgery is recommended, including the operation, anaesthesia, hospital stay and pathology

Keep written confirmation of any insurance approval and bring it on the day.

Getting there

All five surgeons list their clinic as King Hussein Cancer Center, with Jubaiha, Amman as the location. Jubaiha is also commonly spelled Jubeiha. Amman is the capital and the centre of Jordan's healthcare system, with around 5 million residents and the kingdom's largest concentration of hospitals and specialty clinics. Patients reach Jubaiha from across the city, including Abdoun, Sweifieh, Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Shmeisani, 7th Circle and Dabouq.

Tips for the day:

• Leave extra time for traffic and parking, especially for morning appointments.
• Confirm the exact clinic or department within the centre when you book.
• Arrive early enough to complete registration and insurance checks before your appointment time.

• Confirm whether a referral letter or previous reports are required.
• Ask the consultation fee and whether your insurer and policy are accepted.
• Confirm appointments with King Hussein Cancer Center before visiting; a verified schedule is not available for each physician. Consult the current physician profile to arrange a visit.

• Write down your questions and consider bringing a companion.
