Top 7 OB-GYN Clinics in Karak 2026

When do you need an OB-GYN?

Obstetrics and gynecology covers women's health from puberty to after menopause. That includes pregnancy and birth care and conditions of the reproductive system. Common reasons to book a visit include:

• Confirming a pregnancy and starting antenatal follow-up early. Your doctor can explain the visit and scan schedule.
• Period problems: cycles that are very irregular, very painful, very heavy, or that suddenly change.
• Pelvic pain that keeps returning or lasts for months.
• Difficulty conceiving. Mainstream guidance suggests seeing a doctor after 12 months of regular unprotected sex without pregnancy. See one after 6 months if you are 35 or older, or sooner if you already know of a problem, such as very irregular periods.
• Pre-marital check-ups and questions about contraception or planning a pregnancy.
• Regular check-ups and cervical screening. Many health systems start cervical screening in a woman's twenties, some from age 21. Ask your doctor which schedule applies to you.
• Menopause symptoms or bleeding after menopause. Bleeding after menopause should always be checked promptly.

Warning signs that need urgent care

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

• Heavy vaginal bleeding, especially during pregnancy
• Severe abdominal pain or shoulder-tip pain in early pregnancy, which can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy
• Severe headache, blurred vision or sudden swelling of the face or hands in pregnancy
• Fluid leaking from the vagina, or regular contractions, before 37 weeks
• Your baby moving less than usual
• Fainting, a seizure, or high fever with pelvic pain

How to choose among the clinics here

The seven profiles fall into two groups.

• Dedicated OB-GYN practices: Dr Amani Naji Al Saoub, Dr Omar Abu Azzam Al Dabbas, Dr Marcel Masarweh and Dr. Rufeida Al Hamaydeh.
• Multi-specialty centres: I Clinic Medical Center Karak, Olga Clinic Center and Tahreer Medical Center. Olga Clinic Center names an OB-GYN doctor. At I Clinic and Tahreer, gynecology is listed as an appointment enquiry, so ask who attends.

Useful criteria for this specialty in Karak:

• Match the listed areas to your need. Dr Amani's profile lists pregnancy care and infertility & IVF. Dr Omar's lists infertility & IVF, gynecologic surgery, gynecologic endoscopy and gynecologic oncology. A specialty on a profile does not guarantee a procedure is available on site, and both clinics ask you to confirm this.
• Hours that fit your routine. Dr Omar's confirmed hours are mornings to 14:00, Saturday to Thursday. Olga Clinic Center, Dr Marcel and Dr Rufeida are open 10:00–17:00, Saturday to Thursday. I Clinic and Dr Amani's clinic show 24-hour hours. Confirm when the doctor actually sees patients.
• Pregnancy planning. If you are pregnant, ask early where the doctor delivers babies and how emergencies are handled outside clinic hours.
• Continuity. Antenatal care and fertility work go more smoothly with one doctor who knows your history. Ask how follow-up appointments are booked.
• Distance. Regular pregnancy visits add up, so a clinic in your own district can make a real difference.

What to expect at the first visit

The doctor will usually take a full history. Depending on why you came, they may examine your abdomen, do a pelvic examination or an ultrasound, or request blood tests. You can ask for an explanation before any examination, ask for a chaperone, and ask to pause at any point.

What to bring:

• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one
• The date your last period started, plus notes on your cycle length and any bleeding between periods
• A list of medicines and supplements you take
• Previous results: ultrasound reports, blood tests, cervical screening results, and any fertility tests for you or your partner
• Details of past pregnancies, births, miscarriages or surgery

Questions worth asking:

• What do you think is going on, and what are the options?
• Which tests do I need, and can they be done here?
• How often should I come back?
• Who do I contact if symptoms get worse after hours?

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

None of these profiles publishes a consultation fee. Ask reception to quote the following separately:

• The consultation
• Follow-up visits
• Ultrasound
• Laboratory tests

Two profiles list insurers:

• Dr Amani Naji Al Saoub Clinic lists 12, including MedGulf, MetLife Alico, Newton Insurance, The Islamic Insurance Company and NatHealth-administered plans.
• I Clinic Medical Center Karak lists Med Service — The Specialized Company.

Even where your insurer appears, ask:

• Is your plan accepted for gynecology and pregnancy follow-up?
• Do you need pre-approval or a referral?
• Are ultrasound and lab work covered at the same rate?

For the other clinics, raise insurance directly when you call. Several practices on this list ask patients to confirm the doctor's attendance before visiting, so confirm the day and time the day before.

Getting there

The listed clinics sit in four parts of the governorate:

• Al Thaniyah: I Clinic Medical Center Karak, and Dr Amani's clinic at the college junction in the Jordan Kuwait Bank building
• Downtown Karak: Dr Omar on Italian Hospital Street, Dr Marcel at Al Midan in the Italian Hospital Street area, and Dr Rufeida on Al Manshiyah main street near the military hospital junction
• Mutah: Olga Clinic Center
• Al-Qasr: Tahreer Medical Center

None of the seven is in Al-Mazar Al-Janubi, Faqou or Ghor Al-Safi. Residents there will usually travel to Karak city, Mutah or Al-Qasr. Factor that travel into a schedule of regular pregnancy visits.

Hospitals in the governorate include:

• Karak Government Hospital
• Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital
• the Italian Hospital
• Ghor Al-Safi Government Hospital

Know in advance which one is closest to your home, especially later in pregnancy. Save each clinic's written address details from its profile before you set off.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm the gynecologist's name and the days they attend, especially at multi-specialty centres
• Check that the clinic's hours match when you can travel
• Ask whether the service you need (pregnancy follow-up, ultrasound, fertility assessment, procedures) is available on site
• Ask for the consultation, follow-up and ultrasound fees
• Check your insurer, pre-approval rules and what is covered
• Gather previous results, your last period date and your medication list
• For pregnancy, ask where the doctor delivers and who to call out of hours
• Know your nearest hospital and keep 911 in mind for warning signs
