Top 3 Neurologists in Karak 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Neurology deals with diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system: the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. Common reasons people see a neurologist include:

• Chronic or recurrent headaches, including migraine
• Epilepsy and seizures
• Parkinson's disease and tremor
• Dizziness and balance problems
• Numbness, tingling or weakness in a limb
• Memory and thinking concerns

Neurosurgery is a related but separate field. It covers surgical assessment and treatment of the brain and spine. Two of the profiles on this page list neurosurgery as a sub-specialty, so check which kind of visit you need.

Signs that are worth booking a visit

• Headaches that are becoming more frequent, are changing pattern, or disturb sleep and work
• Numbness or weakness in an arm or leg that comes and goes
• A seizure that has already been assessed in an emergency department and now needs specialist follow-up
• Repeated unsteadiness or loss of balance
• Memory lapses that are frequent or getting worse, especially if family members notice them
• Back or neck pain that spreads into a limb with tingling or weakness

Warning signs that need urgent care

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

• Signs of stroke: sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg (especially on one side), drooping of the face, slurred or confused speech, sudden loss of vision, or sudden severe dizziness
• Sudden, severe headache: a "worst ever" headache that peaks within seconds or minutes
• Headache with other danger signs: fever, a stiff neck, confusion, or a headache that follows a head injury
• Seizure emergencies: 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
• Collapse: loss of consciousness that has no clear cause
• Spinal warning signs: new loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin, together with back pain

With stroke, time matters. Do not drive yourself, and do not wait to see whether symptoms settle.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best neurologists in Karak usually want someone suited to their specific problem who is easy to reach. The list here is short, so practical fit matters most.

Match the profile to your concern

• Headache, dizziness, sleep or nerve symptoms: Dr. Dima Obeidat's biography names these areas directly.
• General neurology consultation and follow-up: Dr. Qatada Al Saoub's profile lists neurology consultation, assessment and follow-up. Neurosurgery is listed as a sub-specialty.
• Spine problems or a possible surgical question: Dr. Mohammad Ahmad Al Tarawneh's profile focuses on neurosurgical consultation and spine assessment. His biography mentions endoscopic spine surgery.

If you are unsure whether you need a neurologist or a neurosurgeon, your family doctor can help you decide. Many neurological problems are managed without surgery.

Consider location and follow-up

Conditions such as epilepsy, migraine and Parkinson's disease often need repeated visits. A clinic that is easy to reach from your home in Karak city, Mutah, Al-Qasr or elsewhere in the governorate makes regular follow-up more realistic.

Ask about tests

Neurology often relies on investigations such as EEG (brain wave recording) or EMG (nerve and muscle testing). These are not listed on these profiles. Ask the clinic whether such tests are available on site or would be arranged elsewhere.

What to expect at the first visit

A first neurology appointment usually centres on a detailed history and a physical examination of nerves, reflexes, strength, coordination and balance. The doctor may then suggest tests or a follow-up plan.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport, and your insurance card if you have one
• A list of all your medicines, including doses as written on the packs
• Any previous scans, test results, discharge summaries or referral letters
• For headaches: a diary showing dates, duration, triggers and what you took
• For seizures or blackouts: a description from a witness, or a short video if one was safely recorded

Questions to ask

• What could be causing my symptoms, and what are the next steps?
• Which tests do I need, and where will they be done?
• What warning signs should make me seek urgent care?
• How often should I come back for follow-up?

It helps to bring a relative, especially if your symptoms involve memory, confusion or episodes you do not remember.

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

None of these three profiles publishes an insurer list or a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly before you go. Useful questions include:

• What is the fee for a first consultation, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Do you accept my insurance, and do I need a referral or prior approval?
• Are tests such as EEG, EMG or scans charged separately, and where are they done?
• For a possible procedure: where would surgery take place, and what would it involve?

All three profiles list opening hours for every day of the week, around the clock. Even so, the published biographies advise confirming that the doctor will be present and booking the appointment time before you travel. Use the contact options on each profile page.

Getting there

Karak Governorate serves central-south Jordan, with nearly 400,000 residents spread across Karak city, Mutah, Al-Mazar Al-Janubi, Al-Qasr, Ghor Al-Safi and Faqou.

I Clinic Medical Center Karak

Dr. Qatada Al Saoub and Dr. Dima Obeidat both practise here, in Al Thaniyah. According to the published biography, reception is at the college junction, in the Labour Office building on the second floor.

Amad Medical Center

Dr. Mohammad Ahmad Al Tarawneh practises here, in Al Mazar Al Janubi. Residents of Mutah and the southern parts of the governorate may find it convenient.

Hospitals in the governorate

The hospitals in the governorate include Karak Government Hospital, Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital, the Italian Hospital and Ghor Al-Safi Government Hospital. In an emergency, call 911 rather than travelling to a clinic. If you live in Ghor Al-Safi or Faqou, allow extra travel time for a planned appointment in the clinics above.
