Top 4 Internists in Zarqa Autostrad 2026

When do you need an internal medicine specialist?

Internal medicine covers the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of adult illnesses that affect the whole body. An internist is often the doctor who connects the picture together when symptoms do not point clearly to one organ. Common reasons to see one include:

• Ongoing care of diabetes and high blood pressure
• A thorough yearly check-up
• Digestive complaints such as persistent indigestion, changes in bowel habit or abdominal discomfort
• Follow-up of thyroid conditions
• Investigation and treatment of anaemia
• A review of several long-term medicines, to check that they still suit you and work well together

Signs it is time to book a visit

• Vague symptoms that do not go away, such as unusual tiredness or weight loss you cannot explain
• A new diagnosis of diabetes or high blood pressure, or readings that stay high at home
• A request from a surgeon for a medical assessment before an operation
• Regular check-ups, especially after the age of 40, when screening for blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol becomes more important

Warning signs that need emergency care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you or someone with you has any of the following. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department:

• Chest pain or pressure, especially if it spreads to the arm, jaw or back
• Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, a drooping face or slurred speech
• Severe shortness of breath
• Vomiting blood, or black, tar-like stools
• Confusion, fainting or severe drowsiness, including in someone with diabetes
• A sudden, very severe headache

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best internists in Zarqa Autostrad usually want someone they can see regularly. The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, so use it as a starting point and match the doctor to your own situation.

• Match the concern to the published background. Dr. Ahmad Basem Al Kharouf's profile focuses on gastroenterology, liver disease and endoscopy alongside internal medicine, which may matter if your main complaint is digestive. Dr. Amjad Abdel Elah Al Kiswani lists Jordanian boards in both internal medicine and neurology. Dr. Feras Rahaimeh and Dr. Mohammad Abu Rahmeh list general internal medicine.
• Think long term. Diabetes, blood pressure and thyroid conditions need regular follow-up. Pick a clinic whose hours and location you can manage again and again, not just once.
• Check the hours. Only Dr. Al Kiswani's profile shows confirmed hours: Saturday to Wednesday 09:00–18:00 and Thursday 09:00–14:00. For the other doctors, ask the clinic about clinic days before you plan your visit.
• Consider the building. Three of the four doctors practise at the Al Hikma Modern Hospital clinics. That can be convenient if you need tests or another specialist in the same place, but always confirm what is available on the day.
• Read the published qualifications. Where a profile lists boards or training, you can see the doctor's stated background. Ask the clinic directly about anything you want clarified.

What to expect at the first visit

A first internal medicine appointment is usually longer than a follow-up. The doctor will take a detailed history, examine you and may request blood tests or other investigations. Several profiles on this page give specific advice, and it applies to any internist:

What to bring

• A written list of every medicine you take, including doses as printed on the pack, supplements and herbal products
• Previous laboratory results, especially recent blood sugar, HbA1c, kidney function, thyroid or blood count tests
• Earlier reports, such as endoscopy findings, scans or hospital discharge letters
• Your home blood pressure or blood sugar readings, if you keep them
• Your national ID or passport and your insurance card

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what tests do I need?
• How often should I come back for follow-up?
• Are any of my current medicines no longer needed, or likely to interact?
• What changes in my symptoms should make me seek urgent care?
• Will you share results with me, and how?

If a blood test needs fasting, the clinic should tell you when you book. Do not stop or change any prescribed medicine before the visit unless a doctor has told you to.

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

Dr. Al Kiswani's profile lists two insurers: Arab Orient Insurance and Al-Nisr Al-Arabi Insurance Company. For the other doctors, or if your insurer is different, ask the clinic directly whether your policy is accepted. Ask before you go:

• Is a referral or pre-approval from my insurer needed for a specialist visit?
• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Are blood tests or investigations done on site, and are they covered?
• How far ahead do I need to book, and is there a waiting time on the day?

The profiles on this page do not publish consultation fees, so confirm the cost when you book. Dr. Abu Rahmeh's profile specifically advises confirming the appointment time and fee in advance. For a visit at hospital clinics, reception can usually direct your call to the right clinic.

Getting there

All four doctors list Zarqa Autostrad in Zarqa as their location. Zarqa is Jordan's third most populous governorate, with around 1.7 million residents, so plan for traffic at busy times. Patients may travel from areas across the governorate, including New Zarqa, Zawahreh, Russeifa, Hashemiyah, Dhlail and Azraq. Confirm the exact building and floor with the clinic before you leave. Several profiles state the floor of the clinic.

The governorate is also served by Zarqa Government Hospital, Prince Faisal bin Al-Hussein Hospital and Prince Hashem bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital. In an emergency, call 911 rather than travelling to a clinic appointment.

Checklist before you book

• Decide your main reason for the visit, such as diabetes, blood pressure, digestive symptoms, thyroid, tiredness or a pre-operation check
• Choose a doctor whose published background matches that concern
• Confirm clinic days and times, especially for doctors without published hours
• Ask whether your insurer is accepted and whether you need approval
• Ask for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges
• Prepare your medication list, previous lab results and reports
• Write down your questions
• Confirm the building and floor
• Know the warning signs that need 911, not a clinic visit
