Top 5 Orthopedic Doctors in Arjan 2026

When do you need an orthopaedic doctor?

Orthopaedics covers the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and diseases of the bones, joints and spine. This includes fractures, osteoarthritis (joint "wear"), torn ligaments and cartilage, slipped discs and trapped nerves. Depending on the condition, treatment can range from splints, casts and joint injections to keyhole surgery (arthroscopy) or joint replacement.

It is reasonable to book an orthopaedic appointment if you have:

• Joint pain that has lasted for weeks or keeps coming back, especially in the knee, hip, shoulder or ankle
• A suspected fracture or a hard knock that still hurts or swells after a few days
• Stiffness or grinding in the knee or back that limits walking, stairs or work
• Difficulty moving a joint, a joint that locks or gives way, or reduced grip strength
• A sports injury with a "pop", swelling and instability, which can suggest a ligament or meniscus tear
• Back or neck pain that spreads into an arm or leg with tingling or numbness
• Foot problems in people with diabetes, such as wounds that are slow to heal

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these cases. Call 911 or go to an emergency department:

• A bone pushing through the skin, an obviously deformed limb, or being unable to bear any weight after an injury
• A limb that turns cold, pale or blue, or loses feeling after an injury
• Back pain with new weakness in the legs, numbness around the groin or buttocks, or loss of bladder or bowel control
• A hot, red, swollen joint together with fever
• A foot wound in a person with diabetes that shows spreading redness, swelling, a bad smell or fever
• A serious accident, a fall from height, or any head or neck injury

How to choose among the doctors here

All five profiles on this page share the same clinic, the same confirmed hours and similar insurance listings. The real differences are in each doctor's published focus. If you are comparing the best orthopedic doctors in Arjan for your own problem, start by matching it to the services each profile lists:

• Foot and ankle, including diabetic foot care: one profile lists foot and ankle orthopaedics as a sub-specialty. It also lists wound care, orthotic assessment and small-joint injections.
• Knee sports injuries: look for profiles that list ACL (cruciate ligament) reconstruction, meniscal repair and arthroscopy.
• Shoulder problems: check for shoulder arthroscopy or shoulder replacement in the services list.
• Hip or knee arthritis that may need replacement: several profiles list hip and knee replacement. One records a fellowship in joint replacement surgery.
• Back and spine complaints: one profile lists spine assessment and describes a focus on bone, joint and spinal problems.
• Hand and upper limb: one profile lists hand and upper limb surgery as a sub-specialty.

Other practical points to weigh:

• Qualifications: read the education field on each profile. Some list board certifications and fellowships, while others focus on services instead.
• Approach to treatment: many orthopaedic problems are first managed without surgery. These options include rest, physiotherapy, splints or injections. Ask any doctor how they decide between conservative care and surgery.
• Insurance: check whether your insurer appears on the profile, then confirm with the clinic.
• Second opinions: for major surgery such as joint replacement, getting a second opinion is common and sensible.

What to expect at the first visit

A first orthopaedic consultation usually involves:

• Questions about when the problem started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects daily life
• A physical examination of the joint or spine, which tests movement, strength, stability and nerve function
• A review of any imaging you bring, or a request for new X-rays, ultrasound or an MRI
• A discussion of possible causes and treatment options, which may include physiotherapy, splinting, injections, further tests or surgery

What to bring

• Previous X-rays, MRI or CT scans (ideally on a disc or as files), plus the written reports
• A list of your current medicines and any allergies
• Recent blood test results if you have diabetes, osteoporosis or a joint condition
• Your insurance card and national ID or passport
• Loose clothing that makes it easy to examine the affected joint

Useful questions to ask

• What is the most likely cause of my symptoms?
• What non-surgical options exist, and how long should I try them?
• If surgery is suggested, what does recovery involve, and how long until I can work or drive?
• Will I need physiotherapy, and where can I get it?
• Which warning signs should make me come back sooner?

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

None of these five profiles publishes a consultation fee. Ask the clinic about the fee directly when you book. Four of the five profiles list Arab Orient Insurance. Even so, coverage depends on your specific policy, so before your appointment ask:

• Is the consultation covered under my plan, and is there a co-payment?
• Do I need a referral or prior approval from my insurer?
• Are imaging, injections or splints covered separately?
• For planned surgery, what pre-approval is needed, and what costs are not covered?

All profiles show confirmed hours from Saturday to Thursday, 08:00–16:00. One biography notes that consultation times are confirmed through the clinic's reception. Book ahead and confirm which day each doctor is available, because shared outpatient clinics often run set days for each consultant.

Getting there

All five doctors see patients in Arjan, in Amman, the capital and the main hub of Jordan's healthcare system. Each profile shows the clinic address and a map location. One profile specifies consulting rooms on the third floor, so check the floor before you arrive.

If you are travelling from other parts of the city, such as Sweifieh, Khalda, Jubeiha, Shmeisani or Tla' Al-Ali, allow extra time for traffic at peak hours. If you have a leg, knee or foot injury, arrange a drop-off as close to the entrance as possible and bring someone to help you. Ask whether a wheelchair is available on arrival.

Checklist before you book
