Top 3 OB-GYN Clinics in Marj Al-Hamam 2026

When do you need an OB-GYN?

Obstetrics and gynecology covers women's health from puberty through menopause and beyond: pregnancy follow-up and birth, menstrual problems, and conditions affecting the reproductive organs. Common reasons to book a visit include:

• Confirming a pregnancy and starting antenatal care. Early visits help date the pregnancy and plan routine checks.
• Period problems: cycles that are irregular, very heavy, very painful, or bleeding between periods or after sex.
• Chronic pelvic pain that keeps coming back or affects daily life.
• Difficulty conceiving: mainstream guidance suggests seeing a doctor after about 12 months of regular unprotected sex without pregnancy, or after 6 months if you are 35 or older, or sooner if you have known cycle or health concerns.
• Contraception and family planning, including advice on IUDs.
• Routine gynecological checks, including cervical screening. Guidelines generally begin screening in the early-to-mid twenties; your doctor will advise on timing and intervals.
• Premarital checks and pre-pregnancy advice.
• Menopause symptoms. Any bleeding after menopause should be checked promptly.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

• heavy vaginal bleeding, especially during pregnancy
• severe or one-sided abdominal pain in early pregnancy, particularly with dizziness, fainting or shoulder-tip pain
• a severe headache, blurred vision or sudden swelling of the face or hands during pregnancy
• fluid leaking from the vagina before term, or your baby moving less than usual
• fever with pregnancy, a seizure, or fainting
• sudden, severe pelvic pain at any time

How to choose among the clinics here

All three clinics on this page list obstetrics and gynecology and are located in Marj Al-Hamam. Each profile links to one doctor. These practical points can help you decide which one to contact:

• Match the listed services to your need. All three list pregnancy follow-up, pelvic ultrasound, hysteroscopy and contraception. Recurrent pregnancy loss care appears on Dr. Sabri Zaza's and Dr. Waleed Al Rai's profiles. Polycystic ovary syndrome care is listed by Dr. Rafiq Barqawi and Dr. Waleed Al Rai. IVF care appears only on Dr. Waleed Al Rai's profile. Remote consultations are mentioned only by Dr. Sabri Zaza's clinic.
• Check the hours against your routine. Two clinics confirm hours until 18:00 from Saturday to Thursday, which may suit people who work during the day. The third closes at 16:00 on most days and at 14:00 on Mondays.
• Ask where procedures and births take place. Surgery, laparoscopy and delivery are usually done in a hospital or day-surgery facility. Dr. Zaza's profile says surgery is coordinated with the appropriate facility. Ask any clinic which facility it uses before you commit to a pregnancy plan.
• Think about continuity. For pregnancy follow-up, it helps to see the same doctor throughout. Ask how follow-ups, ultrasound visits and out-of-hours questions are handled.
• Consider your comfort. Ask whether a chaperone is present during examinations, and raise any personal preferences when booking.

The order on this page reflects profile completeness only. It does not mean one clinic is more suitable or more skilled than another.

What to expect at the first visit

A first gynecology or pregnancy visit usually begins with a conversation about your history. This may be followed by an examination and, where needed, an ultrasound, which may be abdominal or transvaginal. Some ultrasounds need a full bladder, so ask when you book.

Prepare and bring:

• the date of your last period and notes on your cycle (length, flow, pain)
• details of past pregnancies, miscarriages, births and any surgery
• a list of current medicines, supplements and allergies
• previous lab results, ultrasound reports and cervical screening results
• for fertility visits, any earlier test results for both partners
• your ID and insurance card, if you have one

If you are booking cervical screening, it is commonly advised to schedule it outside your period. Check with the clinic.

Questions you might ask:

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what tests do I need?
• What are the options, including not treating, and their risks?
• For pregnancy: how often will I be seen, and where would the birth take place?
• Who do I contact if something worries me between visits?

Your doctor will advise on any treatment. Do not start or stop medicines based on general information online.

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

Costs in obstetrics and gynecology often include more than the consultation itself. Before you go, ask the clinic:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Are ultrasound, cervical screening, lab tests or procedures billed in addition?
• For pregnancy care, how are routine visits charged across the pregnancy?
• Do you accept my insurer, and does my policy need prior approval or a referral?

Dr. Waleed Al Rai's profile indicates that the clinic accepts insurance. Confirm that your specific insurer and plan are covered. For the other clinics, ask about insurance directly when you call.

When booking, confirm the appointment is with the doctor named on the profile. Dr. Barqawi's clinic specifically asks patients to do this. Also ask about waiting times and the cancellation policy.

Getting there

All three clinics are in Marj Al-Hamam, within Amman governorate. If you are coming from other parts of Amman, such as Sweifieh, Khalda, Dabouq, Abdoun or Tla' Al-Ali, allow extra time for traffic, especially at rush hour. Each profile on this page shows the clinic's building and map location. Check it before you set off, and ask the clinic for directions or parking tips if you are unsure.

If your care later needs a hospital, for example for delivery or surgery, ask your doctor which facility they work with. Amman hosts many hospitals, including Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. In an emergency, call 911 rather than travelling to a clinic.

Checklist before you book

• Check whether your insurer is accepted and if prior approval is needed.
• Ask where procedures or births would take place.
• Gather your period dates, medicines, allergies and previous reports.
• Ask whether a full bladder is needed for any ultrasound.
• Know the urgent warning signs, and call 911 if they occur.
