Top 3 Internists in Tla' Al Ali 2026

When do you need an internist?

Internal medicine covers the diagnosis and ongoing care of adult conditions affecting the body's internal organs and systems, from diabetes and high blood pressure to digestive problems, thyroid disorders and anaemia. An internist is often the doctor who looks at several problems together, makes sense of test results and keeps long-term medicines organised.

Common reasons to book a visit include:

• Vague symptoms that do not settle, such as persistent tiredness or unexplained weight loss
• A new diagnosis of diabetes or high blood pressure, or home readings that keep coming back high
• A pre-operative assessment before planned surgery
• A regular check-up, especially after age 40, when checking blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol becomes more important
• Long-term follow-up of thyroid conditions, anaemia or digestive complaints
• A review of several medicines prescribed by different doctors

When not to wait for a clinic appointment

Some symptoms need emergency care, not a booked visit. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you or someone with you has:

• Chest pain or pressure, especially if it spreads to the arm, jaw or back, or comes with sweating or breathlessness
• Sudden difficulty breathing
• Signs of stroke: face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech, sudden confusion or loss of vision
• Fainting or collapse
• Vomiting blood or passing black, tarry stools
• Very high or very low blood sugar with drowsiness, confusion or repeated vomiting
• A sudden, severe headache unlike any before

One profile here lists palpitation and chest pain assessment as a service. That is for planned evaluation. New, severe or worsening chest pain is an emergency first.

How to choose among the doctors here

All three internists practise in Tla' Al-Ali and confirm opening hours from Saturday to Thursday. The useful differences are in published focus, background and insurance.

• Match the services to your need. Dr. Bandar Ghazal's published services lean towards cardiovascular risk: blood pressure, lipid disorders, and palpitation and chest pain assessment, alongside diabetes care. Dr. Mazen Asayreh lists fatigue and anaemia assessment and chronic disease follow-up in older adults, as well as diabetes and blood pressure. Dr. Salah Faddah's profile focuses on general consultation, review of symptoms and investigations, and treatment-plan follow-up.
• Read the qualifications yourself. Two profiles publish degrees and board or fellowship credentials. Open each profile and check what is listed rather than relying on titles alone.
• Check insurance early. The insurer lists differ from profile to profile, and only one insurer (NatHealth) appears on more than one. If you rely on insurance, this may narrow your choice quickly.
• Think about timing. Two doctors confirm 10:00–17:00. Dr. Faddah's clinic confirms 09:00–17:00, which may suit an appointment before work.
• Plan for continuity. Diabetes, high blood pressure and thyroid conditions need repeated follow-up. Choose someone you can realistically return to every few months.
• Remember what the order means. The ranking reflects how complete each profile is, not treatment quality. Anyone looking for the best internists in Tla' Al-Ali should treat the list as a starting point for comparison.

What to expect at the first visit

A first internal medicine appointment usually involves a detailed history, a physical examination including blood pressure, and a discussion of whether blood tests or other investigations are needed. Sometimes a referral to another specialist follows.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport and insurance card
• A list of all your medicines, including supplements, or the actual packets
• Previous lab results, imaging reports and hospital discharge letters
• Home blood pressure or blood sugar readings, if you take them
• A short written note of your symptoms: when they started, how often they happen and what makes them better or worse

Ask the clinic when booking whether blood tests might be requested and whether you should come fasting. Do not stop or change any regular medicine before the visit unless a doctor has told you to.

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what tests are needed?
• What do my results mean, and what are the target numbers for me?
• Are any of my medicines overlapping or interacting?
• How often should I come back for follow-up?
• Which warning signs mean I should seek urgent care?

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

Each profile shows the insurers the doctor lists. A listed insurer does not guarantee that your specific plan is accepted, so confirm before you go. Useful questions:

• Is my exact policy accepted at this clinic, and does it need prior approval or a referral?
• What co-payment or percentage will I pay?
• If I pay myself, what is the consultation fee?
• Is a follow-up visit within a set period charged separately?
• Are blood tests done on site, or will I be sent to a laboratory? Are tests covered by my plan?
• How far ahead do I need to book, and is there a waiting list?

Book through the contact options on each profile and confirm the appointment time directly with the clinic.

Getting there

All three clinics are in Tla' Al-Ali in Amman. Patients from other Amman districts such as Khalda, Gardens, Jubeiha or Sweifieh may also find them practical, depending on traffic. Two of the doctors work from the same outpatient clinics building, in neighbouring rooms on the first floor, which helps if you want to compare. Dr. Faddah's clinic is in the eastern part of Tla' Al-Ali. Use the map location on each profile and allow extra time at peak traffic hours.

If your internist decides you need hospital care, Amman has major hospitals including Jordan University Hospital, Istishari Hospital and Specialty Hospital. Your doctor will advise which is appropriate. In an emergency, call 911.

Checklist before you book

• Make sure your symptoms are not an emergency. If they are, call 911.
• Compare published services with your main concern.
• Read each doctor's listed qualifications on the profile.
• Confirm your exact insurance plan is accepted and whether approval is needed.
• Ask about the consultation fee and follow-up charges if paying yourself.
• Check the confirmed hours and choose a time that avoids rush traffic.
• Ask whether you should come fasting for possible blood tests.
• Gather your medicines list, previous results and home readings.
• Write down your symptoms and questions.
