How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this area 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.

  • 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
  • Published services8
  • Listed insurers7
  • Confirmed opening hours6
  • Published consultation fee3
  • Map location3

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 a neurologist?

Neurology covers the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. That includes the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. Common reasons to see a neurologist include:

  • chronic or recurrent headache and migraine
  • epilepsy and seizures
  • Parkinson's disease and other tremor or movement problems
  • memory and thinking difficulties
  • numbness, tingling or weakness
  • dizziness and balance problems
  • follow-up after a stroke

Neurologists also run tests such as EEG (recording the brain's electrical activity) and nerve conduction studies with EMG (testing nerves and muscles).

Consider booking a visit if you notice any of the following:

  • headaches that are new, changing in pattern, or happening more often
  • numbness, tingling or weakness in an arm, leg or the face that comes and goes
  • episodes that might be seizures, blackouts or unexplained "absences"
  • unsteadiness, frequent falls or a tremor that affects daily tasks
  • repeated memory lapses that worry you or your family

A neurologist is not the same as a neurosurgeon. Neurologists diagnose and treat with medicines, tests and follow-up. Neurosurgeons assess and perform operations on the brain and spine. Three doctors on this list practise neurosurgery, so check which kind of doctor you need. Many people see a neurologist first, and a neurologist can advise if a surgical opinion is needed.

Warning signs that need emergency care now

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

  • Possible stroke: sudden face drooping, arm or leg weakness, slurred or confused speech, sudden loss of vision, or sudden severe loss of balance. Treatment works best when started quickly, so note the time symptoms began.
  • Sudden severe headache: a very severe headache that peaks within seconds or minutes, or a headache with fever, stiff neck, rash, confusion or drowsiness.
  • Headache after a head injury, especially with vomiting or drowsiness.
  • Serious seizures: a seizure lasting more than five minutes, repeated seizures without recovery in between, a first-ever seizure, or a seizure in pregnancy or with injury.

How to choose among the doctors here

The list is ordered by profile completeness, not by quality. So use your own needs to narrow it down rather than reading the order as a ranking. People looking for the best neurologists in Amman usually get further by matching the doctor to the problem.

  • Start with your main symptom. The published services differ. Stroke follow-up and prevention appear on Dr. Laith Maali's profile. Botulinum toxin for chronic migraine and limb spasticity, and occipital nerve injections, appear on Dr. Adnan Almasri's. Tremor and movement symptoms appear on Dr. Samir Farah's. Recurrent headache, numbness and seizure follow-up appear on Dr. Amjad Bani Hani's.
  • Check whether tests are done on site. If you are likely to need an EEG or nerve conduction studies, you may prefer a clinic that lists them. That can save a second appointment elsewhere.
  • Decide between neurology and neurosurgery. If you have already been told you may need an operation for a pituitary, aneurysm, tumour, disc or spine problem, the neurosurgeons on this list may be relevant. For diagnosis and medical treatment, start with a neurologist.
  • Think about the setting. Some doctors work in private clinics. Others work in hospital outpatient clinics or at King Hussein Cancer Center, where booking routes and referral rules may differ.
  • Match days and location to your routine. Neurological conditions often need repeated follow-up. Choose a clinic whose days and district you can manage over months, not just once.

What to expect at the first visit

A first neurology consultation usually involves a detailed history and a physical examination. The doctor will check reflexes, strength, sensation, coordination, walking and eye movements. Tests are then chosen based on what the doctor finds.

What to bring

  • A list of all your medicines and supplements, with doses as written on the packs.
  • Previous reports, blood tests, and any MRI or CT scans (bring the images on disc as well as the written reports).
  • A symptom diary: dates, how long each episode lasted, possible triggers, and what helped.
  • For suspected seizures, a short video of an episode if someone safely recorded one. Bring a witness if possible, since you may not remember the event.
  • For memory concerns, a family member who knows how things have changed.
  • Your ID and insurance card.

Questions worth asking

  • What are the possible causes of my symptoms, and which tests do you recommend?
  • Can the tests be done here, and how should I prepare for them?
  • Which symptoms should make me seek urgent care?
  • When should I come back, and who do I contact if things get worse?

Do not stop or change prescribed medicines before a test unless the doctor tells you to. This matters especially for epilepsy medicines. Ask the clinic in advance about any preparation for an EEG, such as arriving with clean, dry hair.

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

Insurance details vary by profile. Arab Orient Insurance is listed for Dr. Laith Maali and Dr. Adnan Almasri. Jordan International Insurance (Newton) is listed for Dr. Samir Farah. For every doctor, confirm cover directly before you go.

  • Is the consultation covered under my policy, and do I need prior approval or a referral?
  • Are EEG, EMG or nerve conduction studies covered separately, and do they need pre-authorisation?
  • What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
  • If tests are needed on the same day, how much time should I allow?

For hospital outpatient clinics, ask whether you book through a central patient services desk. Also ask the doctor's name to use when booking. Several profiles say that staff confirm the session and location, so check this a day before.

Getting there

Amman has the largest concentration of hospitals and specialty clinics in the kingdom. Clinic locations are spread across the city:

  • Shmeisani: two of the listed practices.
  • Tla' Al-Ali: two neurologists.
  • Jubeiha: King Hussein Cancer Center, where two listed doctors practise.
  • Other areas: the remaining practices are elsewhere in the city. Check each profile's address and map before setting off.

Traffic in a city of around 5 million residents can make travel times hard to predict, especially at peak hours. Allow extra time, and plan for parking near hospital-based clinics.

If your condition affects your vision, alertness or ability to drive, arrange for someone to drive you. After some procedures, such as botulinum toxin injections or nerve tests, ask the clinic whether driving afterwards is advised.

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm whether you need a neurologist or a neurosurgeon.
  • Check that the doctor's published services match your main symptom.
  • Ask whether EEG or nerve conduction and EMG tests are done at the same clinic.
  • Confirm the branch, building and floor, especially for doctors with more than one clinic.
  • Verify that the doctor will be there on the day and time you book.
  • Check insurance cover, pre-approval and any referral requirement.
  • Ask for the consultation fee and any test costs.
  • Gather your medicine list, previous reports, scans and a symptom diary.
  • Know the emergency warning signs and call 911 if they appear.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of neurologists in Amman chosen?
The nine profiles are ordered by a published 100-point score for how complete and checkable each profile is. The score covers platform verification, approved reviews, experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, published fee and map location. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes. People searching for the best neurologists in Amman should compare services, location and insurance against their own needs.
What is the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?
A neurologist diagnoses and treats nervous system conditions with examination, tests, medicines and follow-up. Examples are migraine, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, nerve problems and stroke recovery. A neurosurgeon assesses and performs operations on the brain, spine and nerves. Most people with headaches, numbness or seizures start with a neurologist, who can refer them for a surgical opinion if needed. Three doctors on this page practise neurosurgery.
Which doctors on this list offer EEG or nerve conduction tests?
EEG appears in the published services of Dr. Laith Maali, Dr. Adnan Almasri, Dr. Samir Farah and Dr. Amjad Bani Hani. Nerve conduction studies are also listed by all four. Dr. Maali, Dr. Almasri and Dr. Bani Hani also list EMG. Dr. Almasri lists repetitive nerve stimulation. Ask the clinic how to prepare and whether the test can be done on the same day as the consultation.
When is a headache an emergency?
Seek urgent care by calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency department in these situations: a sudden, very severe headache that peaks within seconds or minutes; a headache with fever, stiff neck, rash, confusion or drowsiness; a headache after a head injury; or a headache with weakness, speech problems or vision loss. Recurrent or changing headaches without these signs are a reason to book a neurology appointment.
Do the listed clinics accept my insurance?
Arab Orient Insurance is listed on the profiles of Dr. Laith Maali and Dr. Adnan Almasri. Jordan International Insurance (Newton) is listed for Dr. Samir Farah. Insurer lists can change, so always confirm cover with both the clinic and your insurer. Also ask whether tests such as EEG or EMG need pre-approval.
Do I need a referral to see a neurologist in Amman?
It depends on your insurer and on where the doctor practises. Many private clinics accept direct bookings. Some insurance policies, however, need a referral or prior approval before a specialist visit or a test. Hospital-based clinics, including those at King Hussein Cancer Center, may have their own appointment and referral routes. Ask the clinic and your insurer before booking.
What should I bring to my first neurology appointment?
Bring the following: - a full list of your medicines - previous reports, blood tests, and MRI or CT scans on disc - a symptom diary with dates and how long episodes lasted - your ID and insurance card For seizures, a witness or a safely recorded video can help the doctor. For memory concerns, bring a family member. Do not stop prescribed medicines before the visit unless a doctor advises it.
