Top 4 Neurologists in Shmeisani 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

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

• chronic or recurring headaches and migraine
• epilepsy and other seizures
• Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders
• nerve problems such as numbness, tingling or weakness
• memory and thinking concerns

Neurologists commonly perform tests such as EEG (recording the brain's electrical activity) and EMG with nerve conduction studies (testing muscles and nerves). They may also assess memory and cognition.

Neurosurgery is a separate surgical specialty. It deals with conditions that may need an operation or a surgical opinion, such as spinal disc problems, spinal injuries or brain tumours. Two of the four profiles on this page describe neurosurgical, brain and spine work. Many people start with a neurologist or their family doctor and see a surgeon only if tests point to a structural problem.

Consider booking a non-urgent neurology appointment if you notice:

• headaches that are becoming more frequent, are changing in pattern, or no longer respond to the usual measures
• recurring numbness, tingling or weakness in a hand, arm or leg
• episodes that might be seizures, blackouts or unexplained staring spells
• ongoing problems with balance or unsteadiness
• memory lapses that keep happening or that family members have noticed
• tremor, stiffness or slowness of movement

Warning signs that need emergency care

Some neurological symptoms cannot wait for a clinic appointment. Call 911 straight away in these situations:

• Possible stroke: sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side; slurred or confused speech; or sudden loss of vision. Time matters in stroke, so do not wait to see whether it passes.
• Sudden, severe headache: often described as the worst headache of your life and reaching full intensity within seconds or minutes.
• Headache with other alarming signs: fever, a stiff neck, a rash, confusion, or a headache after a head injury.
• Seizures: a seizure lasting more than five minutes, repeated seizures without recovery in between, a first-ever seizure, or a seizure with injury or breathing difficulty.
• Sudden severe problems: sudden loss of balance or coordination, or sudden confusion or drowsiness.

How to choose among the doctors here

People looking for the best neurologists in Shmeisani usually need the right type of specialist, available at a workable time. A few practical points help narrow the choice:

• Match the specialty to the problem. For headaches, seizures, nerve symptoms or memory concerns, a neurology consultation is the usual first step. For disc herniation, spinal injury or postoperative review, the two surgical profiles are more relevant.
• Check the published services. If you have been asked to have an EEG, EMG or nerve conduction study, look for those exact services. Do the same for botulinum toxin treatment for chronic migraine or spasticity. Of the four profiles, only Dr. Adnan Fayez Almasri lists these.
• Look at the hours. The schedules differ noticeably. One clinic opens three days a week. The others open six days, with some starting as early as 08:00 or finishing at 18:00.
• Read the published qualifications and biography. Some profiles give much more detail than others. Ask the clinic directly about anything that matters to you.
• Think about continuity. Conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and migraine often need regular follow-up. A clinic that is easy for you to reach repeatedly is a practical advantage.

What to expect at the first visit

A first neurology appointment usually involves a detailed conversation about your symptoms, followed by a physical and neurological examination. The examination may check:

• reflexes and strength
• sensation
• coordination and walking
• vision and eye movements
• memory

The doctor may then suggest tests, such as blood tests, imaging or nerve and brain studies, or arrange a follow-up.

To get the most from the visit, prepare:

• A symptom diary. Note when symptoms started, how often they happen, how long they last, and what seems to trigger or ease them. For headaches, note what you were doing and any medicines you took. For possible seizures, ask a witness to describe what happened, or bring a short video if one was safely recorded.
• A list of all your medicines, including supplements and anything bought without a prescription.
• Previous results. Bring earlier scans (CT or MRI images and reports), EEG or EMG reports, and recent blood tests. The surgical profiles note that treatment options depend on examination and imaging, so imaging is especially useful there.
• Relevant history. Include past illnesses, operations, head injuries and any family history of neurological conditions.
• A companion, if memory or confusion is part of the concern. A relative can add important details.

Useful questions to ask include:

• What could be causing my symptoms?
• Which tests do I need, and can they be done at this clinic?
• Which symptoms should make me seek urgent care?
• How often will I need follow-up?

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

Consultation fees are set by each clinic, so ask about the cost when you call. Ask separately about the price of any tests, such as EEG or EMG, or of procedures, as these are usually charged in addition to the consultation.

On insurance, Dr. Adnan Fayez Almasri lists Arab Orient Insurance. Whatever your insurer, check before the visit:

• whether the clinic accepts your specific policy
• whether a referral or pre-approval is needed
• whether tests and procedures are covered as well as the consultation

When booking, confirm the exact clinic address and floor, and confirm that the doctor will be attending on that day. One profile specifically advises checking the consultation building and the clinician's attendance. Dr. Almasri has clinics in both Amman and Irbid, so make sure your appointment is at the Shmeisani branch if that is the one you want.

Getting there

All four clinics give Shmeisani, Amman as their location. Dr. Feras Mohammad Amin DAifallah Rawagah publishes an address at Specialty Hospital, Al-Husseini Medical Building 2, fourth floor.

Amman is home to around 5 million residents and has the largest concentration of hospitals and specialty clinics in the kingdom. That makes Shmeisani a common destination for patients coming from other districts, such as:

• Abdoun
• Jubeiha
• Sweifieh
• the Gardens
• Khalda
• Tla' Al-Ali
• 7th Circle
• Dabouq

Traffic in the capital can be heavy at peak times, so allow extra time and ask the clinic about parking or the nearest entrance when you book.

If your symptoms are an emergency, do not drive yourself to a clinic. Call 911.
