Top 3 Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Surgery Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery deals with the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas. Most people are referred after a scan, ultrasound or blood test raises a question, rather than booking this type of specialist directly. Problems discussed with these surgeons include gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder, blockage of the bile ducts, and growths or cysts in the liver or pancreas. This is general information, not a diagnosis, and only a doctor who examines you and reviews your results can say what is going on.

Consider booking a visit if you have repeated pain in the upper right or middle of the abdomen, especially after fatty meals, unexplained weight loss, persistent itching, or liver test results your doctor wants reviewed by a specialist. A referral letter from a general practitioner or gastroenterologist can help the surgeon understand your history quickly.

Some signs need emergency care now, not a clinic appointment:

• Yellow skin or yellow eyes
• Dark urine together with pale stools
• Fever with belly pain
• Severe or constant pain in the upper abdomen
• Vomiting that will not stop, or vomiting blood
• Black or tarry stools

If you notice any of these, call 911 in Jordan or go to the nearest emergency department straight away.

How to choose among the clinics here

Start with the service you need. Compare these Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Surgery Clinics in Amman by what they list, not by their order on the page. Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani Clinic lists gallbladder and bile duct surgery, and Dr Monther Abu Redan Clinic lists liver, pancreas and bile duct surgery consultations. Al Khalidi Medical Plaza lists liver and pancreatic follow-up and gastroenterology consultations, but its listed specialties do not include hepatobiliary surgery.

Check how operations are arranged. Both surgical profiles say that procedures or equipment-based care are coordinated with a hospital, so ask which hospital would be used, whether you would be admitted there, and who would perform the operation.

Consider access. Shmeisani, Jabal Amman and the 4th Circle are different parts of Amman, and travel time matters if you will need repeated follow-up visits or tests spread over several weeks.

Read the doctor details carefully. A profile may list one surgeon or several doctors across different clinics. Ask who will see you at each stage, from the first consultation to any operation and follow-up.

Finally, remember that the order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not which surgeon is more skilled. Use the list as a starting point for your own questions.

What to expect at the first visit

A first consultation usually starts with your history and an examination, followed by a review of any tests you already have. Good preparation makes that visit more useful.

Bring:

• Any scans and reports, such as ultrasound, CT or MRI results
• Recent blood test results, including liver function tests if you have them
• A list of medicines and supplements you take, with the doses you actually use, and any allergies
• Notes on when symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and any change in weight or appetite
• Your insurance card, if you plan to use insurance

Useful questions to ask include: What is the most likely cause of my symptoms, and what else needs to be ruled out? Which tests are needed next, and how long will they take? Is an operation being considered, and if so, what are the other options? Who would perform it, at which hospital, and what recovery usually involves? Do not stop prescribed medicines without asking your doctor first.

Write down the answers, or ask whether a summary can be given, so you can review them with family before deciding on the next step.

Insurance, fees and booking

Ask each clinic before you book:

• Whether it accepts your insurance provider, and what your share of the cost would be
• The consultation fee, and whether follow-up visits are charged separately
• Whether tests or scans are done in the clinic or elsewhere, and how they are billed
• Whether you need a referral or previous imaging before the first visit
• The cancellation or rescheduling policy

Use the contact options on each profile page to confirm these details, and confirm opening hours before you travel. Knowing what you will pay before the visit helps you make an informed decision and avoids surprises.

Getting there

Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani Clinic is in Shmeisani, beside Specialty Hospital. Al Khalidi Medical Plaza is in Jabal Amman, opposite Al Khalidi Hospital. Dr Monther Abu Redan Clinic is listed in the 4th Circle area, with its address in Jabal Amman.

Traffic in Amman can be heavy at busy times of day, so allow extra time for your appointment. Ask your taxi or ride-app driver to confirm the exact building before you set off. If you are visiting from outside Amman, try to arrange consultations, tests and follow-up in as few trips as possible.
