When do you need this specialty or procedure?
Neonatology is the branch of paediatrics focused on newborns, especially babies born early, born small, or who needed extra care after birth. Very sick newborns are looked after inside hospital neonatal intensive care units. The doctors on this page mainly offer outpatient consultations, which usually means checking and following up babies after they go home.
Common reasons parents book a newborn or neonatology consultation include:
- Follow-up after a premature birth or a stay in neonatal intensive care
- Checking weight gain, feeding and growth in the first weeks and months
- Newborn jaundice that needs review after discharge
- Questions about breathing patterns, sleep, crying or reflux
- Planning the vaccination schedule and routine infant check-ups
- Concerns about movement, muscle tone or reaching early milestones
Many families searching for the best neonatology specialists in Amman simply want a doctor experienced with small babies who can take over follow-up once the birth hospital discharges them. Bringing that discharge summary to the first visit matters a great deal.
Warning signs that need urgent care
Do not wait for a clinic appointment if your baby shows any of the following. Go to the nearest emergency department or call 911:
- Difficulty breathing, very fast breathing, grunting, or pauses in breathing
- Blue, grey or very pale skin, lips or tongue
- A fever (38°C or higher) in a baby under three months, or an unusually low temperature
- Floppiness, unusual sleepiness or being hard to wake
- Fits, stiffening or jerking movements
- Refusing feeds, repeated vomiting, or green vomit
- Far fewer wet nappies than usual
- Jaundice in the first 24 hours of life, or yellowing that spreads or deepens, especially with pale stools or dark urine
How to choose among the doctors here
All seven doctors are paediatricians with neonatology listed on their profiles, but their focus differs. Some practical ways to compare them:
- Match the profile to your baby's needs. Several profiles explicitly list premature-infant follow-up or prematurity assessment. One combines newborn care with paediatric neurology and EEG testing, which may matter if developmental or neurological follow-up has been recommended.
- Read the qualifications. Look at the published training, such as the Jordanian Board in Paediatrics and any neonatal fellowships, and check that they make sense for your situation.
- Clinic or hospital outpatient setting. Some doctors work from a private clinic; others consult in hospital outpatient departments, where appointments may be arranged through patient services or reception.
- Location and hours. With a newborn, a short drive and convenient hours genuinely matter. Compare districts and confirmed opening times.
- Insurance. Check whether your insurer appears on the profile, then confirm with both the clinic and your insurer.
- Language. Where a profile lists languages, check that you can communicate comfortably.
Remember that the order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not how good the care is. A shorter profile does not mean a less capable doctor.
What to expect at the first visit
A first newborn consultation usually covers the pregnancy and birth history, feeding, weight and growth, a full physical examination, and time for your questions. For premature babies, the doctor may discuss corrected age, growth charts, and any further checks or referrals recommended at discharge.
What to bring
- The hospital discharge summary and birth details (weight, gestational age, delivery type)
- Any previous follow-up reports, test results or imaging
- The vaccination card
- A list of medicines, vitamins or supplements the baby takes
- Notes on feeding: breast or formula, frequency, amounts
- Your insurance card and national ID or passport
- Spare nappies, a change of clothes and a feed
Questions to ask
- Is my baby's weight gain on track?
- How often should we come for follow-up, and until what age?
- Are any hearing, eye or other screening checks still due?
- Which signs should make us return early or go to emergency?
- Who do we contact if we have a concern between visits?
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
Before booking, ask the clinic or hospital outpatient service:
- What the consultation fee is, and whether follow-up visits are charged differently
- Whether your specific insurer and policy are accepted, and whether prior approval is needed
- Whether tests such as EEG or blood work are billed separately
- For hospital outpatient clinics, which days the doctor actually attends
- Whether the doctor consults at more than one location, and which one your appointment is for
Insurer lists on profiles can change, so confirm coverage with your insurer as well as the clinic.
Getting there
Amman is a large city with heavy traffic at peak times, so plan extra travel time with a newborn and avoid rushing to appointments.
- Khalda: Dr. Sultan Al-Hantouli's clinic is in this west Amman district.
- Shmeisani: two clinics on this page are here. Dr. Issa Ali Khashashneh's clinic is opposite the Specialty Hospital emergency entrance, a useful landmark when giving directions to a taxi.
- Tla' Al-Ali: Dr. Kamal Al Naser consults in hospital outpatient clinics in this area.
- Istishari Hospital: Dr. Ahmad Al-Haroub's biography mentions a separate consultation location here, in addition to his listed clinic.
For the remaining doctors, check the full address on each profile and confirm parking and entrance details with reception before you set out.

Frequently asked questions
How was this list of neonatology specialists in Amman chosen?
The seven doctors come from 12 profiles on ClinicsJo with a neonatology sub-specialty in this scope. They are ordered by a 100-point score measuring how complete and checkable each profile is: platform verification, reviews, published experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, hours, fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
What is the difference between a paediatrician and a neonatology specialist?
A paediatrician cares for children from birth through adolescence. Neonatology focuses specifically on newborns, particularly premature, small or unwell babies. All the doctors listed here are paediatricians whose profiles include neonatology as a sub-specialty, so they can usually follow your baby after the newborn period too. Check each profile to see whether premature-infant follow-up is listed among the services.
When should my baby see a neonatology specialist after leaving hospital?
Follow the timing written in your discharge summary or advised by the birth hospital team. Premature babies and those who stayed in neonatal intensive care often have a scheduled follow-up within days or weeks. If no date was given, ask your paediatrician. Seek urgent care sooner if your baby has breathing difficulty, fever, poor feeding, unusual sleepiness or worsening jaundice.
Is newborn jaundice an emergency?
Mild jaundice is common in the first week and often settles, but it should always be checked by a doctor. Seek urgent care if yellowing appears within the first 24 hours, spreads or deepens, or comes with poor feeding, unusual sleepiness, pale stools or dark urine. In an emergency in Jordan, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Is there a female neonatology specialist on this list?
Yes. Dr. Reem Abdel Hay Jarad is a female consultant paediatrician with a neonatology sub-specialty. She consults at the Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics in Jabal Amman, Saturday to Thursday 10:00–17:00, in Arabic and English, with appointments arranged by Patient Services. Contact the clinic to confirm availability before your visit.
Which doctors here list insurance companies?
Dr. Issa Ali Khashashneh's profile lists 12 insurers, including Arab Orient Insurance, GlobeMed, MedNet and JOFICO. Dr. Reem Abdel Hay Jarad's profile lists Arab Orient Insurance. Insurance arrangements change, so always confirm with both the clinic and your insurer that your specific policy is accepted and whether prior approval is needed before the appointment.
What should I bring to a premature baby follow-up appointment?
Bring the hospital discharge summary, birth details such as weight and gestational age, earlier follow-up reports and test results, the vaccination card, and a list of any medicines or supplements. Notes on feeding and weight help too. Several profiles here specifically ask families to bring discharge summaries so the doctor can coordinate care.
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.
