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

When do you need an obstetrician-gynaecologist?

Obstetrics and gynaecology covers women's health from puberty to after menopause. It includes pregnancy follow-up and childbirth, and the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, cervix and the rest of the reproductive system. Many women see an OB-GYN for routine care, not only when something feels wrong.

Common reasons to book a visit include:

• Confirming a pregnancy and planning antenatal follow-up
• Irregular, very heavy, very painful or absent periods
• Long-lasting pelvic pain
• Difficulty getting pregnant, or repeated pregnancy loss
• Advice on contraception or family planning, including IUDs
• Pre-marriage check-ups
• Routine gynaecological examination and cervical screening. Guidance on when to start and how often to repeat screening varies, so ask your doctor what applies to you.
• Questions about symptoms such as those linked to polycystic ovary syndrome or fibroids

Warning signs that need urgent care

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

• Heavy vaginal bleeding, especially during pregnancy, or bleeding with dizziness or fainting
• Severe or one-sided lower abdominal pain, particularly in early pregnancy or if you might be pregnant
• Severe headache, blurred vision or sudden swelling of the face and hands in pregnancy
• A gush or steady leak of fluid from the vagina before your due date
• Noticeably reduced or absent baby movements later in pregnancy
• High fever with pelvic pain or unusual discharge
• A seizure or loss of consciousness

If you are unsure, it is safer to be checked.

How to choose among the doctors here

All three profiles are for male obstetrician-gynaecologists with clinics in Marj Al-Hamam. Each holds the Jordanian Board in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Useful ways to narrow the choice:

• Match the service to your need. All three list pregnancy follow-up, pelvic ultrasound, hysteroscopy and contraception. Dr. Waleed Al Rai's profile includes IVF care and recurrent pregnancy loss assessment. Dr. Rafiq Adnan Barqawi's profile lists cervical screening, endometrial biopsy and laparoscopic fibroid surgery. Dr. Sabri Zaza's profile lists family planning, recurrent pregnancy loss care, laparoscopic fibroid removal and a remote gynaecology consultation option.
• Think about continuity. Pregnancy follow-up means repeated visits over many months. Choose a clinic whose hours and location you can realistically manage.
• Check the hours. Dr. Al Rai's confirmed hours end at 16:00, or 14:00 on Monday. Dr. Barqawi and Dr. Zaza list 10:00–18:00, Saturday to Thursday, which may suit those who work during the day.
• Consider insurance early. Insurer lists differ between profiles. Confirm coverage before your first visit, not after.
• Ask about delivery and procedures. If you are pregnant, ask each doctor where they deliver babies. If a procedure such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy is suggested, ask where it would be done, so you can plan transport and insurance approval.

Remember that this list is ordered by profile completeness, not by skill or outcomes. The right doctor depends on your situation, comfort and practical needs.

What to expect at the first visit

A first OB-GYN visit usually starts with a conversation about your health, periods, past pregnancies and current symptoms. Depending on the reason for the visit, the doctor may suggest an examination or a pelvic ultrasound. You can ask what each step involves. You can also ask to have a female staff member present, and you can say if you are not comfortable with something.

How to prepare

• Note the first day of your last period and how regular your cycle is.
• Write down your symptoms, when they started and what makes them better or worse.
• If you are trying to conceive, note how long you have been trying.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport and your insurance card
• Previous lab results, ultrasound reports or scans
• Records from any earlier pregnancy, surgery or fertility treatment
• A list of the medicines and supplements you take

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what tests do I need?
• What are my options, including not treating straight away?
• How often will I need follow-up, especially during pregnancy?
• Who should I contact if symptoms get worse outside clinic hours?

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

Costs and coverage are easier to sort out before the visit. When you contact a clinic, ask:

• Is my insurer accepted? Dr. Waleed Al Rai's profile lists twelve insurers, including GlobeMed, MedNet, OmniCare, Arab Orient Insurance and several NatHealth-administered plans. For any doctor, confirm that your specific policy and network are accepted, as coverage can differ between plans from the same company.
• What is the consultation fee? Ask for the fee for a first visit and for follow-ups. Ask too whether ultrasound or other tests are charged separately.
• Do I need pre-approval? Procedures such as hysteroscopy, IUD insertion or fibroid surgery may need insurer approval in advance.
• How do follow-ups work? For pregnancy care, ask whether a package or set follow-up schedule exists, and how to book the next visit.
• Is remote consultation possible? Dr. Sabri Zaza's profile lists a remote gynaecology consultation. It can help for discussing results or deciding whether you need an in-person visit. It does not replace an examination when one is needed.

Getting there

All three clinics are in Marj Al-Hamam, in Amman governorate. Amman has around 5 million residents and the kingdom's largest concentration of hospitals and specialty clinics. If you are travelling from districts such as Sweifieh, Khalda, Dabouq, Abdoun or the 7th Circle area, check the map pin on each profile before you leave. Allow extra time for traffic, especially at the start and end of the working day.

For regular pregnancy visits, a clinic that is easy to reach from home or work makes follow-up simpler. In an emergency, do not drive yourself to a clinic. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. Ask your doctor in advance which hospital they would advise for urgent problems or delivery.

Checklist before you book

• Decide the main reason for your visit and check that the doctor's profile lists a matching service

• If pregnant, ask where the doctor delivers babies and about the follow-up schedule
• Gather previous reports, scans, medicine lists and your insurance card
• Note the date of your last period and your main symptoms
