Top 5 OB-GYN Doctors in Jabal Al Hussein 2026

When do you need an obstetrician-gynaecologist?

Obstetrics and gynaecology covers women's health from puberty to the years after menopause. That includes pregnancy care and delivery, menstrual problems, contraception, fertility concerns and conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries and cervix. Many women see a gynaecologist for routine check-ups as well as for specific symptoms. A first appointment is often the simplest way to find out whether further tests are needed.

Common reasons to book a visit

• Confirming a pregnancy and starting regular antenatal follow-up.
• Period problems: cycles that are very heavy, very painful or irregular, or that have stopped without a clear reason.
• Pelvic symptoms: chronic pelvic pain, pain during sex, or bleeding between periods or after sex.
• Difficulty conceiving: mainstream guidance suggests seeking advice after about 12 months of trying, or after about 6 months if you are 35 or older. Seek advice sooner if you have known conditions or irregular cycles.
• Premarital check-ups and contraception: pre-marriage screening and advice on contraception, including after childbirth.
• Menopause: symptoms that affect sleep, mood or daily life.
• Routine cervical screening: guidelines usually start screening in your twenties or thirties, and the interval depends on the test used. Ask your doctor which schedule applies to you.

Warning signs that need urgent care

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

• Heavy vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, or soaking through a pad in an hour at any time.
• In early pregnancy, severe pain on one side of the lower abdomen, shoulder-tip pain, dizziness or fainting. These can be signs of an ectopic pregnancy.
• In later pregnancy, a severe headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling of the face or hands, or pain under the ribs.
• Fluid leaking from the vagina before 37 weeks, or the baby moving less than usual.
• Fever, foul-smelling discharge or heavy bleeding after birth or miscarriage.
• Sudden, severe pelvic pain with vomiting.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best OB-GYN doctors in Jabal Al Hussein usually want someone whose services match their situation. Start with the published details on each profile.

• Fertility care: Dr. Najeeb Layyous and Dr. Maha Alsaid both list IVF, ICSI and IUI. Dr. Najeeb Layyous also lists ovulation induction. Dr. Asma Al Momani lists a fertility and delayed-conception consultation. If you are early in the process, a consultation-focused visit may be enough to begin. Ask whether tests for both partners can be arranged.
• Pregnancy and delivery: Dr. Najeeb Layyous lists pregnancy follow-up and ultrasound, high-risk pregnancy care and delivery care. Dr. Maha Alsaid lists high-risk pregnancy care, vaginal and caesarean delivery, and postnatal care. Dr. Raed Falah Khalifeh lists pregnancy follow-up as part of his consultations. If you plan to have the same doctor at the birth, ask early which hospital they deliver at.
• Reviewing results or a treatment plan: Dr. Wael Falah Khalifeh and Dr. Raed Falah Khalifeh both list a review of symptoms and investigations and follow-up of a treatment plan. This is useful if you already have scans or lab results.
• Procedures: hysteroscopy and laparoscopy appear on the profiles of Dr. Najeeb Layyous and Dr. Maha Alsaid. Dr. Najeeb Layyous also lists fibroid and endometriosis treatment. Whether any procedure is right for you can only be decided after assessment.
• A female doctor: the profiles of Dr. Maha Alsaid and Dr. Asma Al Momani are listed as female doctors.
• Qualifications: Dr. Najeeb Layyous's profile sets out his degree and board qualifications. With any doctor, it is reasonable to ask about their training and their experience with your specific concern.
• Hours: all five publish confirmed hours from Saturday to Thursday. Dr. Maha Alsaid's longer days run until 17:00, which may help if you work during the day.

Remember that the order of this list reflects how complete each profile is, not treatment quality.

What to expect at the first visit

A first gynaecology or pregnancy visit usually starts with a conversation about your symptoms, your menstrual history, any previous pregnancies and your general health. The doctor may then suggest an examination or an ultrasound, depending on why you came. You can ask for a female chaperone or bring someone with you.

What to bring

• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one.
• The date your last period started, and a note of your cycle pattern if it is irregular.
• Previous scans, lab results and reports. Several profiles here specifically mention reviewing reports and investigations.
• A list of the medicines and supplements you take, and any allergies.
• For fertility visits: previous test results for both partners, and details of any earlier treatments.

Questions worth asking

• What could be causing my symptoms, and which tests do you recommend?
• Which tests can be done at the clinic, and which need a lab or hospital?
• For pregnancy: how often will follow-up visits be, and where would delivery take place?
• For fertility: what are the first steps, and what does each stage involve?
• What should make me call you, or seek emergency care, between visits?

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

Arab Orient Insurance is listed on the profiles of Dr. Najeeb Layyous, Dr. Maha Alsaid and Dr. Asma Al Momani. Even when an insurer is listed, coverage depends on your specific policy. Before you go, check these points:

• Is the consultation covered under my policy, or do I pay first and claim back?
• Do I need a referral or prior approval, especially for ultrasound, lab tests or procedures?
• Are fertility treatments covered? Many policies treat them differently from standard gynaecology care.
• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• If a procedure or delivery is planned, what is included, and where will it take place?

When booking, mention the reason for your visit. A pregnancy scan, a fertility consultation and a results review may need different appointment lengths. The profiles of Dr. Wael Falah Khalifeh and Dr. Raed Falah Khalifeh both advise confirming services and the doctor's attendance with the clinic in advance.

Getting there

All five clinics are listed in Jabal Al Hussein, in central Amman. Check the exact address on each profile before you leave. If you are coming from other parts of the city, such as Abdoun, Dabouq, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Sweifieh, the 7th Circle or Jubeiha, allow extra time for traffic and parking, especially at the start of the working day.

If your care later involves hospital admission or delivery, ask your doctor which hospital they work with. Larger hospitals in Amman include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. In an emergency, do not drive yourself if you are bleeding heavily or feeling faint. Call 911.

Checklist before you book

• Check that the doctor's published services match your need: pregnancy, fertility, a procedure or a results review.
• Decide whether you prefer a female doctor.
• Confirm the clinic's hours and the doctor's attendance on the day you plan to visit.
• Ask about the consultation fee and what it includes.
• Confirm your insurance coverage, and whether you need approval or a referral.
• For pregnancy care, ask where delivery would take place.
• Gather previous scans, lab results and your last period date.
• Write down your questions in advance.
