How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this country 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.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Published years of experience (up to 25)15
  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8
  • Profile photo5

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?

A laparotomy is an operation in which the surgeon makes an incision through the abdominal wall to see and treat organs inside the belly, such as the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, spleen or the abdominal lining. Surgeons generally use it when a problem cannot be safely treated through small keyhole incisions, or when they need to examine the abdomen directly. The platform notes that every doctor on this list publishes laparotomy among their services, but whether you need one is decided after assessment, not by choosing a name from a list.

General surgeons assess many conditions that can lead to abdominal operations, including gallbladder disease, hernias, bowel blockage, appendicitis, haemorrhoids, anal fistulas and some problems of the stomach, spleen or liver. Book a visit with a general surgeon if you have persistent abdominal pain, a painful or growing lump in the groin or belly, repeated pain after fatty meals, changes in bowel habits, blood in your stool, or unexplained weight loss.

Some symptoms need emergency care, not a clinic appointment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department right away if you have sudden severe belly pain, a belly that is hard and swollen, vomiting that will not stop or looks like blood or coffee grounds, black or bloody stools, fever with belly pain, yellow skin or eyes, chest pain, fainting or confusion.

How to choose among the doctors here

Start with the match between your condition and the doctor's listed services. Several profiles focus on particular areas: Dr. Dawoud lists bariatric, hernia and gallbladder work, Mohammad Sami Al-Muhtaseb lists colorectal and anal conditions, and Tariq Almunaizel lists liver, pancreatic and biliary care. Dr. Emad Alaeddin lists laparotomy by name, which may help if you want to ask about open surgery directly.

Next, check location and hours. Profiles are in Amman (Jabal Amman, Arjan, Abu Nseir and Tla' Al Ali) and in Zarqa (Sa'Ada Street and Downtown Zarqa). Opening hours differ: some clinics open six days a week, while Tariq Almunaizel lists three days.

Published details are also useful, but read them carefully. Only one profile on this list is verified by the platform, and only Dr. Dawoud publishes a years-of-experience figure, 18 years. That profile has one approved review averaging 5 out of 5, which is too few to judge a surgeon's results. Published consultation fees are 20 JOD for Rabee Walid Afaneh and Huthaifa Mohammad Asmar, 25 JOD for Dawoud, Haitham Hamdan and Emad Alaeddin, and 30 JOD for Mohammad Sami Al-Muhtaseb and Tariq Almunaizel. None of these details tells you how well a surgeon operates, so use them to organise your questions rather than as a measure of quality.

What to expect at the first visit

The first visit is usually a consultation. The surgeon will ask about your symptoms, past operations, other illnesses, allergies and current medicines, then examine you. They may order blood tests or imaging before deciding on any treatment. Do not stop or change any medicine unless the surgeon tells you to.

Bring your previous reports, scan images or discs, laboratory results, a list of medicines, and any operation notes. If you have had surgery before, bring details of the procedure and the hospital.

Prepare questions in advance. Useful ones include: What do you think is causing my symptoms? Is surgery needed now, or can it wait? If surgery is recommended, would it be open or keyhole, and why? What are the main risks and alternatives? How long is recovery usually, and what follow-up is needed? Who will perform the operation, and what are the costs?

Insurance, fees and booking

Before you book, confirm whether your insurer is accepted. Where a profile lists insurers, the lists differ widely, and some companies appear under a corporate or NatHealth arrangement. Check your own policy and ask the clinic to confirm in writing if coverage matters for your decision.

Ask about the consultation fee, which is published on each profile at 20, 25 or 30 JOD, depending on the doctor. Ask whether the fee covers the consultation only, and what additional costs may arise for tests, imaging, hospital stays or surgery. Do not assume that a consultation fee includes an operation.

Confirm the day and time of your appointment against the published hours, since these can change. If your symptoms are urgent, do not wait for a clinic appointment; use the emergency number 911.

Getting there

Use the clinic address shown on each profile and a map app to plan your route, and allow extra time for traffic in Amman and Zarqa. The profiles on this list are located in Jabal Amman, Amman; Arjan, Amman; Abu Nseir, Amman; Tla' Al Ali, Amman; Sa'Ada Street, Zarqa; and Downtown Zarqa, Zarqa. Confirm the exact building with the clinic before you travel, particularly if you plan to visit a hospital outpatient clinic.

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm that the doctor's listed services match your condition.
  • Check the clinic's location and whether it suits your travel time.
  • Confirm the consultation hours for the day you plan to attend.
  • Ask about the consultation fee and what it does not include.
  • Check that your insurer is accepted, in writing if needed.
  • Bring previous reports, scans, medicine lists and allergy details.
  • Write down your questions about diagnosis, options, risks and recovery.
  • Keep 911 in mind for any sudden or severe warning sign.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of laparotomy doctors chosen?
The order follows a 100-point score of how complete and checkable each profile's published information is. Points come from platform verification, approved reviews, published years of experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, consultation fee and map location. The score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, and featured placement does not change the score.
What is a laparotomy?
A laparotomy is an operation that opens the abdominal wall so the surgeon can see and treat the organs inside the belly. It is used when a condition cannot be treated safely through small keyhole incisions, or when the surgeon needs direct access to examine the abdomen. Whether it is needed depends on a proper assessment by a surgeon.
When should I call 911 instead of booking a clinic visit?
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have sudden severe belly pain, a hard and swollen belly, vomiting that will not stop or looks like blood, black or bloody stools, fever with belly pain, yellow skin or eyes, chest pain, fainting or confusion. Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.
Which doctors on this list are verified by the platform?
At the time of writing, Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud is the only profile on this list verified by the platform. Verification is one of several factors in the completeness score, so it indicates that the profile's information has been checked, not how well a surgeon performs.
How much do consultations cost with these doctors?
Each profile publishes its own consultation fee: 20 JOD for Rabee Walid Afaneh and Huthaifa Mohammad Asmar, 25 JOD for Dawoud, Haitham Hamdan and Emad Alaeddin, and 30 JOD for Mohammad Sami Al-Muhtaseb and Tariq Almunaizel. Confirm with the clinic what the fee covers before your visit.
Can I compare which doctors accept my insurance?
Some profiles publish a list of insurers, and the lists vary. Because insurance arrangements can change, check your own policy and ask the clinic to confirm your insurer before booking. Do not rely on a profile list alone when deciding on a consultation or treatment.
Where are these doctors located?
The profiles are located in Jabal Amman, Arjan, Abu Nseir and Tla' Al Ali in Amman, and on Sa'Ada Street and in Downtown Zarqa in Zarqa. Use the clinic address on each profile and a map app to plan the journey, and confirm the exact building with the clinic before you travel.
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. A featured profile shown on a district page may practise elsewhere in Amman — check the address on its card.
