Top 4 Neurology Consultation Clinics in Jordan 2026

When do you need a neurology consultation?

Neurologists assess and treat conditions of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Common reasons for a referral or self-booked visit include recurrent or changing headaches and migraine, seizures or blackouts, numbness, tingling or weakness in the limbs, tremor and other movement problems, memory or concentration changes, dizziness and balance problems, and follow-up after a stroke or a transient ischaemic attack (TIA, often called a mini-stroke).

It is reasonable to book a neurology appointment if:

• Headaches are becoming more frequent, are disturbing sleep or work, or are not settling with the usual measures your doctor advised
• You have had an unexplained faint, a possible seizure or episodes of lost awareness
• Numbness, pins and needles or weakness has lasted more than a few days or keeps returning
• You or your family notice memory changes that affect daily life
• Your GP or another specialist has asked for a neurological opinion, an EEG or nerve conduction studies

Warning signs that need emergency care, not a clinic booking

Call 911 immediately if someone has:

• Sudden face drooping, arm or leg weakness, or slurred or confused speech (stroke signs, even if they pass quickly)
• A sudden, severe headache that feels like the worst ever, or a headache with fever, stiff neck, confusion or after a head injury
• A seizure lasting more than five minutes, repeated seizures without recovery in between, or a first seizure
• Sudden loss of vision, sudden severe imbalance, or new weakness spreading over hours

With stroke, every minute matters; do not wait to see whether symptoms improve.

How to choose among the clinics here

If you are comparing the best neurology consultation clinics in Jordan for your own situation, it helps to match the clinic's published focus to your symptoms:

• Hospital outpatient clinics versus a neurologist's own clinic. Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre and Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital list many specialties under one roof, which can be practical if you also see a cardiologist, kidney specialist or diabetes doctor. The two single-doctor clinics publish a narrower neurology focus.
• Tests on offer. Three profiles mention EEG and nerve or muscle studies (Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital, Dr Laith Maali and Dr Adnan Almasri). If your doctor has requested one of these, ask whether it can be done during the same visit or needs a separate appointment.
• Specific services. Dr Laith Maali's profile lists stroke follow-up, epilepsy, migraine and memory disorders. Dr Adnan Almasri's profile lists botulinum toxin injections for chronic migraine and spasticity, occipital nerve injections and repetitive nerve stimulation. Whether any treatment is right for you is decided only after a neurologist assesses you.
• Choice of doctor. Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital lists two neurologists; Jordan Hospital lists one among its 12 doctors.
• Days and hours. The hospital clinics publish Saturday to Thursday hours, Dr Maali's clinic publishes Saturday to Thursday with shorter Thursday hours, and Dr Almasri's Amman clinic publishes Saturday, Monday and Wednesday only.

The order on this page reflects profile completeness, so treat it as a starting point rather than a recommendation.

What to expect at the first visit

A neurology consultation usually starts with a detailed history: when symptoms began, how often they happen, what makes them better or worse, and how they affect your daily life. This is followed by a neurological examination, which may check strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination, walking, vision and memory. The doctor then explains whether any investigations are needed and discusses next steps.

How to prepare

• Keep a short symptom diary for a week or two if possible, especially for headaches, seizures or dizziness: date, time, duration, triggers and what you took
• If someone has witnessed your episodes, bring them along or ask them to write down what they saw; a phone video of an episode can also help
• Write down your questions in advance

What to bring

• Your ID and insurance card
• A list of all current medicines and supplements, with doses as written on the packs
• Previous scans (MRI, CT) on disc or as reports, plus earlier EEG or nerve study reports and recent blood tests
• Any referral letter from your GP or another specialist

Useful questions to ask

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what else needs ruling out?
• Do I need any tests, and where will they be done?
• What are the options, and what are their possible side effects?
• Which symptoms mean I should seek urgent help?
• When should I come back for follow-up?

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

None of the four profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly when you call. Three profiles (Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre, Dr Laith Maali and Dr Adnan Almasri) list Arab Orient Insurance. Insurance acceptance can depend on your specific policy, so check with both the clinic and your insurer.

Before you book, ask:

• Is my insurance policy accepted for neurology consultations, and is pre-approval or a referral needed?
• Are tests such as EEG or nerve conduction studies covered, and are they billed separately from the consultation?
• Which doctor will I see, and on which day and session?
• For hospital clinics: which building, floor and clinic should I go to? Both hospital profiles say this is confirmed at booking.
• For Dr Almasri: is the appointment at the Amman or the Irbid practice?
• How early should I arrive, and should I avoid anything before an EEG?

Getting there

This is a kingdom-wide list, but all four clinics state addresses in Amman:

• Jabal Amman: Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics. The hospital is on Queen Noor Street, beside its medical centre on Adeeb Wahbeh Street; confirm which building your clinic is in.
• Tla' Al Ali: Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital Outpatient Clinics, on Al-Madina Al-Monawara Street.
• Abdali: Dr Laith Maali's clinic, at Abdali Hospital.
• Shmeisani: Dr Adnan Almasri's clinic, on the ground floor of Al Hussaini Complex 1. The doctor also practises in Irbid.

If your condition affects driving, such as seizures, recent stroke, sudden vision changes or episodes of lost awareness, arrange for someone else to drive you or use a taxi.

Checklist before you book

• Check your symptoms against the emergency warning signs above; call 911 if any apply

• Confirm your insurance policy is accepted and whether pre-approval is needed
• Gather previous scans, test reports, your medicine list and any referral letter
• Prepare a symptom diary and a written list of questions
