Top 3 General Surgery Clinics in Abdali 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

General surgery deals with conditions of the abdomen, such as hernias, gallbladder problems and appendix problems. It also covers thyroid surgery, breast surgery, and lumps or cysts under the skin. Vascular surgery, which the two vascular profiles in this guide focus on, deals with veins and arteries, including varicose veins and poor circulation in the legs.

Consider booking a visit when you have:

• Repeated abdominal pain with digestive symptoms such as bloating, nausea or changes in bowel habits
• A lump that has not been explained by your doctor, or one that is growing or changing
• A visible bulge in the groin or abdomen, such as a hernia
• Attacks of pain from gallstones, often in the upper right abdomen, which may come after fatty meals
• Persistent leg swelling, heavy or aching legs, or visible varicose veins

Some symptoms need urgent care rather than a booked appointment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department without delay if you have:

• Sudden, severe belly pain, especially with fever, vomiting, yellow skin or eyes, or inability to pass wind or stool
• A painful, firm swelling in the groin or belly wall that cannot be pushed back, especially with vomiting
• A sudden painful, cold, pale or numb leg or foot
• Neck swelling with difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Bleeding that will not stop

This guide does not diagnose anything. A surgeon or your family doctor is the right person to assess your symptoms.

How to choose among the clinics here

Start with the match between your concern and the profile. Dr. Layal El Asir's profile is focused on breast disease, tumours, reconstruction and general surgery. Dr. Hashem Barakat and Dr. Amir Malkawi both list vascular surgery, with descriptions covering varicose veins, circulation, leg wounds and diabetic-foot concerns. If your problem is in the abdomen, hernia or thyroid, read each profile's services carefully, because these are not described in the same detail on every profile.

Next, check the practical details: the confirmed hours, which differ slightly between profiles, the map location, and the number of doctors linked to the clinic. Each of the three profiles lists one doctor. Compare these points against your schedule and how far you need to travel.

Finally, treat the order on this page as a guide to profile completeness only. It tells you how much checkable information a profile publishes, not which clinic will suit you best. Use the profile details to prepare your questions.

What to expect at the first visit

A first consultation usually starts with a conversation about your symptoms, when they began, what makes them better or worse, and your general health. The doctor may examine the area concerned and may order tests or scans. Some profiles describe treatment-plan follow-up as a service, so ask how follow-up is arranged.

To prepare:

• Write down your symptoms, when they started and how often they occur
• Bring any previous scans, blood tests or reports, and any letters from other doctors
• Make a list of your current medicines, including doses, and any allergies
• Note your medical history, including previous operations
• Prepare a short list of questions, such as what the next steps are and how long recovery may take

One profile advises confirming the doctor's attendance and the reception location within the hospital when you book. Do this before you travel.

Insurance, fees and booking

Ask each clinic these questions before you book:

• What is the consultation fee, and what does it include?
• Are follow-up visits or scans charged separately?
• Which insurers do you work with, and do I need a referral or pre-approval?
• Is the doctor I am booking with the one who will see me on the day?
• How much notice do you need to cancel or change an appointment?

Insurance arrangements can change, so ask for the current position rather than relying on older information. Keep a note of the name of the person who confirmed your booking.

Getting there

All three profiles are located in Abdali, Amman. Use the map location on each profile, and ask the clinic for the exact entrance and parking before you travel. If you are coming from another district of Amman, such as Abdoun, Sweifieh, Shmeisani, Jubeiha, Khalda, Dabouq, the Gardens, 7th Circle or Tla' Al-Ali, allow extra time for traffic, especially at peak hours.

The platform's Abdali hospital list includes Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, King Hussein Cancer Center, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. Do not assume that any of these is the address of a clinic in this guide. Confirm the exact building before you go.
