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.

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 hand and upper limb specialist?
Hand and upper limb surgery covers the fingers, hand, wrist, forearm, elbow and shoulder: the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves that let you grip, lift and reach. All seven doctors on this page are orthopaedic surgeons who list this area among their sub-specialties. Some also have a strong focus elsewhere, such as the knee, spine or joint replacement, so read each profile's services carefully.
Common reasons people book include:
- Nerve compression, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. It typically causes tingling, numbness or pain in the thumb, index and middle fingers. Symptoms are often worse at night or when holding a phone or steering wheel.
- Tendon problems, such as a finger that clicks or locks, pain at the base of the thumb, or tendon damage after a cut.
- Fractures and dislocations of the fingers, wrist, elbow or shoulder, including follow-up when a broken bone has healed poorly.
- Shoulder conditions, such as rotator cuff tears, repeated dislocation or instability, stiffness and arthritis.
- Sports and work injuries that limit grip, lifting or overhead movement.
Many of these conditions are first managed without an operation. This can include rest or activity changes, splints, physiotherapy or injections. Surgery is considered when symptoms persist or the structure is badly damaged. Consider booking a visit if:
- numbness or weakness lasts more than a few weeks;
- you keep dropping things;
- a finger locks or will not straighten;
- shoulder pain keeps you awake or stops you lifting your arm;
- pain or swelling after an injury is not settling.
Warning signs that need urgent care
Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you have any of the following:
- a bone pushing through the skin, or an obviously deformed limb;
- bleeding that does not stop with firm pressure;
- a finger or hand that becomes pale, blue, cold or numb after an injury;
- a deep cut after which you cannot bend or straighten a finger;
- a partly or fully severed finger;
- a high-pressure injection injury (from paint or grease guns), even if it looks small;
- rapidly spreading redness, swelling and throbbing pain in the hand, especially with fever, which can signal a serious infection.
Sudden arm pain with chest pain, sweating or breathlessness can be a heart attack. Sudden arm weakness with a drooping face or slurred speech can be a stroke. Both need 911 immediately, not a clinic appointment.
How to choose among the doctors here
People searching for the best hand & upper limb surgery specialists in Amman usually get more from matching their problem to a doctor's published services than from the list order. The order reflects profile completeness only. Practical ways to narrow the choice:
- Match the body part.
- Carpal tunnel: Dr. Saher Al-Dabba, Dr. Abdallah Masadeh and Dr. Freih Odeh Abu Hassan list carpal tunnel care.
- Shoulder: Dr. Wael Al Haddad, Dr. Asaad Ahmad and Dr. Bassam Nadim Al Nahawi describe a shoulder focus, including rotator cuff, instability or shoulder replacement.
- Tendons: Dr. Abu Hassan lists tendon injury reconstruction.
- Elbow, hand and wrist: Dr. Asaad Ahmad lists hand and wrist condition care and a shoulder and elbow fellowship.
- Fractures and dislocation: Dr. Mohammed Omar Tabaza lists shoulder dislocation and fracture treatment.
- Read the training entries. Each profile shows its listed boards and fellowships. Check whether any training relates to the upper limb.
- Check the days. Two profiles show Saturday-only hours, and others run six days a week. If you need follow-up visits or splint checks, regular availability matters.
- Language. Dr. Tabaza's profile lists Arabic, English and Italian. For the others, ask the clinic when booking.
- Ask about the share of hand work. It is reasonable to ask how often the doctor treats your specific condition. You can also ask whether hand therapy or physiotherapy is arranged afterwards.
What to expect at the first visit
The doctor will usually ask how and when the problem started and which fingers or movements are affected. They will also ask which hand you write with and what your job or sport demands. The examination often checks grip strength, sensation, range of movement and joint stability. You may be asked for an X-ray, ultrasound, MRI or nerve conduction study before any decision is made.
To prepare:
- Bring previous imaging, ideally the images on disc and the written reports.
- Bring any nerve test results and earlier operation notes.
- Bring a list of your medicines, especially blood thinners, and any conditions such as diabetes.
- Bring your ID and insurance card.
- Write down when symptoms are worse, such as at night or when typing or lifting.
- Wear a loose sleeve so the arm can be examined easily. Remove rings if your hand is swollen.
Questions worth asking:
- What is the likely diagnosis, and what else could it be?
- Which non-surgical options make sense first?
- If surgery is suggested, what type of anaesthesia is used, and how long will I need a splint or time off work?
- What are the main risks?
- Will I need hand therapy or physiotherapy afterwards?
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
Each profile lists the insurers it accepts. The lists differ: some profiles show twelve companies, others show one. Even when your insurer appears, confirm three things with the clinic:
- that your specific policy is valid at that clinic;
- whether imaging or surgery needs pre-approval;
- what co-payment applies.
Ask for the consultation fee when you book. Also ask what it covers, for example whether a short follow-up to review X-rays is included.
Some doctors practise at a centre or medical complex, so confirm the doctor's day there and the exact room or floor. If surgery is planned, ask where it would take place. Ask your insurer whether that facility is covered.
Getting there
Amman's clinics are spread across the city, and traffic at peak hours can add significant time. Among the listed doctors:
- one practises near the 7th Circle;
- one is in Shmeisani;
- one is in Tla' Al-Ali;
- the others' addresses and map locations appear on their profiles.
If your hand or arm is injured, in a splint, or you expect an injection, arrange for someone else to drive. Do not drive yourself after sedation.
For emergencies, use 911 or the nearest emergency department rather than a clinic. Amman's large hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital and King Hussein Medical Center.
Checklist before you book
- Check that the doctor's published services include your problem, whether hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder.
- Check the confirmed days and hours, and whether you will need repeat visits.
- Confirm your insurer, policy coverage and any pre-approval rules.
- Ask for the consultation fee and what it includes.
- Gather your X-rays, MRI or nerve test reports and your medicine list.
- Note which fingers are affected, when symptoms are worse, and your dominant hand.
- Arrange transport if your arm is injured or splinted.
- Know the urgent warning signs and call 911 if they appear.
Frequently asked questions
How was this list of hand and upper limb surgeons in Amman chosen?
The seven doctors were drawn from 13 ClinicsJo profiles in this specialty and city. They are ordered by a published 100-point score of how complete and checkable each profile is. The score counts items such as qualifications, biography, services, insurers, confirmed hours and map location. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so compare services and hours for your own needs.
Which doctors here list carpal tunnel treatment?
Dr. Saher Al-Dabba lists carpal tunnel treatment. Dr. Abdallah Masadeh lists carpal tunnel syndrome care. Dr. Freih Odeh Abu Hassan lists carpal tunnel release and carpal tunnel syndrome treatment. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often managed first with splinting at night and activity changes, and sometimes injections. Surgery is generally considered when symptoms persist or there are signs of nerve damage. Your doctor can explain which option fits your findings.
Who are the best hand & upper limb surgery specialists in Amman for shoulder problems?
This page does not rank doctors by skill. It does show who lists shoulder work. Dr. Wael Al Haddad lists rotator cuff repair, instability care and shoulder replacement. Dr. Asaad Ahmad lists shoulder tendon repair, dislocation treatment and replacement. Dr. Bassam Nadim Al Nahawi lists shoulder replacement, reverse replacement and arthroscopy. Dr. Mohammed Omar Tabaza and Dr. Saher Al-Dabba also list shoulder services.
Can I see a hand surgeon in Amman on a Saturday?
Yes. Every doctor on this list shows Saturday hours. Dr. Abdallah Masadeh, at JoSante in the 7th Circle area, and Dr. Freih Odeh Abu Hassan, near the Fifth Circle, list Saturday only. Dr. Tabaza, Dr. Al-Dabba, Dr. Al Haddad and Dr. Al Nahawi work six days, with some offering shorter Thursday hours. Dr. Asaad Ahmad works four days, including Saturday. Confirm the day with the clinic before going.
Do these clinics accept GlobeMed or MedNet?
GlobeMed and MedNet appear on the insurer lists of Dr. Mohammed Omar Tabaza, Dr. Saher Al-Dabba and Dr. Abdallah Masadeh. Dr. Wael Al Haddad and Dr. Asaad Ahmad list Arab Orient Insurance. Insurer lists can change, and coverage depends on your specific policy. Always confirm acceptance, pre-approval rules and co-payments with both the clinic and your insurer before the visit.
When is a hand injury an emergency?
Call 911 or go to an emergency department for any of these: a bone through the skin, an obvious deformity, bleeding that will not stop with pressure, or a finger that turns pale, cold or numb. The same applies to a deep cut after which you cannot move a finger, a severed fingertip, a high-pressure injection injury, or spreading redness and swelling with fever. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.
What should I bring to my first hand surgery consultation?
Bring your ID, insurance card and any referral your policy requires. Bring previous X-rays, MRI or ultrasound images with their reports, and any nerve conduction study results. Bring a list of current medicines, especially blood thinners. A short note on when symptoms started, which fingers are affected and what makes them worse helps the doctor. Wear loose sleeves so your arm can be examined easily.
