Top 5 Neurology Consultation Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need a neurology consultation?

Neurology covers conditions of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. In a neurology consultation, a specialist takes a detailed history, examines your nervous system and decides whether tests or treatment are needed.

Common reasons to book include:

• Recurrent headaches or migraine, or headaches that have changed in pattern
• Seizures, blackouts, or episodes of unexplained confusion or staring
• Numbness, tingling, burning or weakness in the hands, feet or limbs
• Tremor, stiffness, slowness or other changes in movement
• Dizziness or balance problems that keep coming back
• Memory problems that are getting worse or worrying your family
• Follow-up after a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
• Ongoing care for a long-term condition such as epilepsy

Some people are referred by a general practitioner or internist after initial checks. Others book directly. A clinic appointment is for symptoms that are not an emergency.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away if you or someone with you has:

• Possible signs of stroke: sudden face drooping, weakness in an arm or leg, or slurred or confused speech, even if the symptoms pass quickly
• A sudden, severe headache that reaches its peak within seconds or minutes
• A headache with other warning signs: fever, stiff neck, rash or confusion, or a headache after a head injury
• Seizure emergencies: a seizure lasting more than five minutes, repeated seizures without waking in between, or a first-ever seizure
• Sudden changes in vision or consciousness: sudden loss of vision, new double vision, or unexplained loss of consciousness
• Rapidly spreading weakness: weakness in the legs or arms that spreads quickly, or difficulty breathing or swallowing

With a suspected stroke, every minute counts. Note the time the symptoms started and tell the emergency team.

How to choose among the doctors here

If you came looking for the best neurology consultation doctors in Jordan, remember how this list is ordered. It reflects how complete each profile is, not which doctor is more skilled. A better approach is to match what each doctor publishes to your own situation.

Match published services to your symptoms

• Stroke or TIA follow-up and prevention: Dr. Laith Maali lists post-stroke therapy and stroke check-ups for prevention, and his profile describes a focus on stroke medicine.
• Headache and migraine:
• Dr. Laith Maali lists migraine treatment.
• Dr. Amjad Bani Hani lists assessment of recurrent headaches.
• Dr. Adnan Fayez Almasri lists botulinum toxin for chronic migraine and occipital nerve injections for selected headaches. Whether a procedure is appropriate is a decision made after assessment.
• Numbness, tingling or weakness:
• Nerve conduction studies are listed by Dr. Maali, Dr. Almasri, Dr. Farah and Dr. Bani Hani.
• Dr. Almasri also lists repetitive nerve stimulation, a test used when myasthenia is suspected.
• Seizures:
• Dr. Maali lists epilepsy treatment, and Dr. Bani Hani lists seizure disorder follow-up.
• EEG appears on four of the five profiles.
• Tremor and movement symptoms: Dr. Samir Abdulrahim Farah lists assessment of tremor and movement symptoms.
• A second look at existing results or medication: Dr. Marina Al Hadidi and Dr. Farah both list review of investigations.

Think about where tests happen

If your doctor is likely to request an EEG or nerve studies, it can save trips to choose a clinic that lists the test. Ask whether the test is done on the same day or booked separately.

Hospital outpatient clinic or standalone clinic

• Dr. Farah and Dr. Bani Hani see patients at Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital Outpatient Clinics.
• Dr. Al Hadidi sees patients at the outpatient clinics of Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre.
• Dr. Maali and Dr. Almasri list their own clinics.

Hospital-based clinics can be convenient if you may need other departments. Standalone clinics may feel simpler to navigate.

Hours and published background

• Hours: Dr. Almasri's confirmed hours are three days a week. The other four profiles show six days.
• Qualifications: only some profiles publish qualifications. These are useful to read, but they do not measure outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

A first neurology consultation usually starts with a long conversation about your symptoms: when they began, how often they happen, what makes them better or worse, and your medical and family history.

The examination often checks:

• Strength, reflexes and sensation
• Coordination and walking
• Eye movements and speech

What to bring

• All previous reports: scans (with the images if you have them), blood tests, EEG or nerve study results, and discharge summaries
• A list of every medicine and supplement you take, exactly as you take it
• A symptom diary, such as a headache diary or notes on each episode, with dates
• If you have seizures or blackouts, a witness's description of an episode, or a short video filmed by a family member if this was safe to do
• Your ID, insurance card and any referral letter
• A relative or friend, especially for memory concerns or episodes you cannot remember

Questions to ask

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what else are you considering?
• Which tests do I need, and how should I prepare for them?
• What are the options for managing this, and what are the possible side effects?
• Which symptoms mean I should seek urgent care?
• When should I come back, and who do I contact if things change?

If a test is booked, ask about preparation. For example, clinics often ask you to come with clean, dry hair for an EEG, and to avoid skin creams before nerve studies.

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

Some profiles list insurers:

• Dr. Maali and Dr. Almasri list Arab Orient Insurance.
• Dr. Farah lists Jordan International Insurance (Newton).

Even so, always confirm with both the clinic and your insurer that your specific policy is accepted.

Before you go, ask:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• What do tests such as EEG or nerve conduction studies cost, and are they billed separately?
• Does my insurer need a referral or pre-approval for the visit, tests or procedures such as botulinum toxin injections?
• How long is the wait for an appointment, and what is the cancellation policy?
• For doctors with more than one branch, which branch is the appointment at? Dr. Almasri's profile notes that staff confirm the branch, appointment and service.

For the hospital outpatient clinics, booking is arranged by the doctor's name through the reception or Patient Services.

Getting there

Each profile shows its own city, district and map location, so check it before you set off.

• Allow time at hospitals: for hospital outpatient clinics, allow extra time for parking, registration and finding the clinic. Dr. Farah's consulting room, for example, is on the third floor.
• Arrive early for tests: if a test is scheduled, arrive a little early.
• Arrange a ride if needed: do not drive yourself after a recent seizure or blackout, or if a test may leave you drowsy. Ask someone to take you instead.
• Plan your route: visitors from outside the capital should plan around the confirmed clinic hours on each profile.

Checklist before you book
