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.

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 this specialty or procedure?
GI and endoscopic surgery covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas. This includes diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. Common services in this field include:
- gastroscopy (upper endoscopy)
- colonoscopy
- treatment of Helicobacter pylori (stomach bacteria)
- care for irritable bowel syndrome
- follow-up of fatty liver
- treatment of haemorrhoids
The surgeons listed here mostly publish surgical and assessment services. These include gallbladder, hernia, reflux, anorectal, bariatric and tumour-related assessment. Many patients reach them after first seeing a GP or a gastroenterologist.
It is reasonable to book an assessment if you have any of the following:
- Abdominal pain that keeps coming back or lasts for weeks
- A change in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhoea or narrower stools) that does not settle
- Frequent heartburn or acid reflux, especially if it wakes you at night or keeps returning despite lifestyle changes
- Difficulty swallowing, or a feeling that food sticks
- Blood in the stool, even if you think it is from haemorrhoids
- Unexplained weight loss, persistent vomiting or tiredness that may point to anaemia
Mainstream guidance treats new swallowing difficulty, rectal bleeding and unexplained weight loss as reasons to be seen promptly rather than wait.
Warning signs that need urgent care
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:
- Vomiting blood, or vomit that looks like coffee grounds
- Black, tarry stools or heavy bleeding from the back passage
- Sudden, severe abdominal pain, especially with fever, a rigid belly or repeated vomiting
- Being unable to swallow even saliva after food gets stuck
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes together with fever or severe pain
- Fainting, confusion or a racing heartbeat alongside any of the above
How to choose among the doctors here
People searching for the best GI & Endoscopic Surgery Specialists in Amman often want a single answer. In practice, the right choice depends on your problem, your insurance and your schedule. This list is ordered by profile completeness, not by clinical quality. Use these criteria instead:
- Match the published services to your problem.
- Dr. Ashraf Haddad lists advanced gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.
- Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani, Dr. Mohammad Okasha and Dr. Mohammad Awni Saadeh list haemorrhoid, fissure or fistula treatment.
- Dr. Faraj Al-Naimat lists surgical assessment of stomach and colorectal tumours.
- Dr. Mohammad Aziz Alhaijawi lists revisional bariatric surgery assessment.
- Reflux (GERD) surgery appears on the profiles of Dr. Shabani and Dr. Alhaijawi.
- Ask who performs the endoscopy and where. Some surgeons perform endoscopy themselves. Others work alongside gastroenterologists or refer you on. Knowing this in advance avoids an extra appointment.
- Read the qualifications. Each profile shows its published training, boards and fellowships. Look for training that relates to your condition, such as upper or lower GI, colorectal or bariatric surgery.
- Check the hours against your routine. The three Istiklal Hospital clinics open at 08:00. The Shmeisani clinic and Dr. Halawani's clinic run until 17:00 on most days and close early on Thursday.
- Consider follow-up. Surgery and endoscopy often need repeat visits, biopsy results and post-procedure checks. A clinic that is easy for you to reach matters more than you might expect.
- Language. Dr. Haddad lists Arabic and English. If you need a particular language, ask when you call.
What to expect at the first visit
The first appointment is usually a consultation. The doctor takes your history, examines you, reviews previous tests and decides whether you need further investigations, endoscopy or a surgical opinion. To make the most of it, bring:
- Previous endoscopy or colonoscopy reports, biopsy results and any images on disc or phone
- Blood tests, ultrasound or CT reports, and any H. pylori test results
- A full list of your medicines, including blood thinners, diabetes medicines and supplements, plus any allergies
- Records of previous abdominal operations, which are essential if you are being assessed for revisional bariatric surgery
- A short symptom diary: when the problem started, what makes it better or worse, and any bleeding or weight change
Useful questions to ask:
- Do I need an endoscopy, imaging or surgery? Are there non-surgical options?
- What are the main risks, and what does recovery look like?
- Where would the procedure be done, and will I be sedated?
- How and when will I get biopsy or test results?
If an endoscopy is planned, you will receive instructions on fasting or bowel preparation. Follow them exactly, because poor preparation can mean repeating the test. If you will be sedated, arrange for someone to accompany you home. Do not stop or change any regular medicine unless the doctor treating you tells you to.
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
Costs in this field go beyond the consultation. Before you book, ask the clinic:
- What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
- If an endoscopy or operation is advised, what are the separate charges for the procedure, sedation, pathology (biopsy) and any hospital stay?
- Does my insurer cover this doctor and this procedure, and is prior approval needed?
Dr. Haddad's profile lists Arab Orient Insurance. Even so, confirm that your specific policy and plan are accepted. For clinics inside hospitals, ask whether booking goes through outpatient reception or patient services. For Dr. Halawani's clinic, his profile advises booking directly with the clinic.
Getting there
Amman is home to around 5 million residents, and traffic at peak times can turn a short distance into a long drive. Dr. Shabani's clinic is in Shmeisani. The other doctors' addresses are shown on their profiles, so check them before you set off.
If you are travelling from Abdoun, Dabouq, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Sweifieh, the Gardens, Jubeiha or the 7th Circle, allow extra time for traffic and parking. Morning appointments, especially before an endoscopy, can be affected by rush hour.
If you are sedated for a procedure, do not drive afterwards. Arrange a lift.
You may later be referred for scans, tests or a second opinion at one of the city's major hospitals:
- Jordan University Hospital
- King Hussein Medical Center
- Al-Bashir Hospital
- King Hussein Cancer Center
- Specialty Hospital
- Istishari Hospital
Checklist before you book
- Confirm the doctor's published services match your problem (endoscopy, reflux, gallbladder, anorectal, tumour assessment or bariatric)
- Ask whether endoscopy is performed by this doctor and at which facility
- Check the clinic's days and hours against your schedule
- Ask the consultation fee and the likely extra charges
- Confirm your insurer, policy and any prior-approval steps
- Gather previous reports, scans, biopsy results and a medicine list
- Write down your symptoms and your questions
- Arrange someone to accompany you if sedation is likely
- Know the urgent warning signs, and call 911 if they appear
Frequently asked questions
How was this list of GI and endoscopic surgery specialists in Amman chosen?
Profiles are ranked by a published 100-point score for how complete and checkable their information is. The score covers items such as platform verification, approved reviews, experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, hours, fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes. It simply helps you compare clearly published details.
Do I need a gastroenterologist or a GI surgeon?
Gastroenterologists usually manage conditions such as H. pylori, irritable bowel syndrome and fatty liver, and they perform many diagnostic endoscopies. GI surgeons assess problems that may need an operation, such as gallbladder disease, hernias, reflux surgery, haemorrhoids, fistulas, tumours and bariatric procedures. If you are unsure, start with your GP. Or ask the clinic whether your symptoms fit the doctor's published services.
Which doctor on this list publishes endoscopic procedures?
Dr. Ashraf Haddad lists advanced gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures among his services at Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics in Jabal Amman. Several other listed surgeons include GI and endoscopic surgery in their subspecialties. Ask each clinic directly whether the doctor performs the endoscopy personally, and where.
Is blood in the stool always an emergency?
Not always, but it should never be ignored. Small amounts of bright blood can come from haemorrhoids or a fissure, yet blood can also signal conditions that need investigation, so book an assessment. Call 911 or go to an emergency department for heavy bleeding, black tarry stools, dizziness, fainting or severe abdominal pain.
How should I prepare for a gastroscopy or colonoscopy?
The clinic will give you specific fasting or bowel-preparation instructions; follow them exactly. Tell the doctor about all your medicines, especially blood thinners and diabetes treatment, and do not stop any medicine unless the doctor treating you advises it. If sedation is used, bring a companion and do not drive afterwards.
Which listed surgeons treat haemorrhoids, fissures or fistulas in Amman?
Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani in Shmeisani lists hemorrhoid and fistula treatment. Dr. Mohammad Okasha and Dr. Mohammad Awni Saadeh, both at Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics in Arjan, list treatment for haemorrhoids, anal fissure and anal fistula. Compare their hours and locations, and ask about the consultation fee and insurance when you call.
Does the top-ranked doctor mean the best GI & Endoscopic Surgery Specialists in Amman?
No. The ranking reflects how complete each profile is, not skill, experience or results. A doctor lower on the list may suit you better because of their services, location, hours or insurance. Use the comparison and the checklist on this page to decide, and talk to your GP if you need guidance.
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.
