Top 5 Orthopedic Surgery Specialists in Fifth Circle 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Orthopedic surgery diagnoses and treats injuries and conditions of the bones, joints, ligaments and spine. People usually look for an orthopedic specialist for:

• Long-lasting joint pain
• A fall, twist or blow that leaves a bone or joint painful or swollen
• Knee or spine wear and tear that limits daily activity
• Difficulty moving a joint or walking normally
• A torn ligament or cartilage, often after sport or a fall

Common services that orthopedic teams offer include fracture casting and treatment, joint injections, shoulder and knee arthroscopy, joint replacement, treatment of a slipped disc, and treatment of compressed nerves such as in the carpal tunnel. Not every problem needs surgery. Many people first have an examination, imaging and a discussion of non-surgical options.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you have any of these: severe pain after an accident; a bone that looks out of place; a limb you cannot put weight on; numbness, weakness or loss of feeling in a leg or arm; loss of bladder or bowel control with back pain; fever with a hot, very swollen joint; or an open wound with bone visible. Call 911 or go straight to the nearest emergency department.

How to choose among the doctors here

The five doctors on this page are all listed in Fifth Circle, Amman. Use these criteria to narrow the list before you contact anyone:

• Match the focus to your problem. Dr. Bassam Nadim Al Nahawi's listed services centre on shoulder and knee surgery and sports injuries. Dr. Freih Odeh Abu Hassan's profile covers spine, pediatric, limb lengthening and complex fracture work. Dr. Mohannad Al Zoubi lists fractures, sports injuries and pediatric consultations. Dr. Basel Balbisi focuses on back pain and spinal and joint consultations. Dr. Tareq Tawfeeq Al Khetan lists bone injuries, fractures and joint pain.
• Check the hours. Three profiles list six days a week, while Dr. Abu Hassan's profile lists Saturday only, from 11:00 to 15:00. Confirm opening hours with the clinic before each visit, since they vary.
• Read the training you can check. Several profiles mention the Jordanian Board in Orthopedic Surgery, and some list hospital posts the doctor has held.
• Ask about the procedure you may need. If surgery is possible, ask what it involves, what recovery looks like and how rehabilitation is planned.

The order on this page comes from a profile-completeness score. It shows how much checkable detail a profile publishes. It does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so treat it as a starting point when you look for the best orthopedic surgery specialists in Fifth Circle.

What to expect at the first visit

A first consultation usually focuses on your history and an examination. Before you go, write down:

• When the problem started, and whether it followed a specific injury
• What makes it better or worse, such as stairs, sitting or night pain
• Any treatments you have already tried, including physiotherapy or injections, and how they went
• A current list of the medicines you take, and any allergies

Bring any earlier imaging, such as X-rays, MRI or ultrasound reports, and the images themselves if you have them. One clinic on this page asks patients to bring previous imaging reports and investigations. The doctor will review the examination, imaging and your needs before discussing options.

Useful questions include: What do you think is causing this? Do I need imaging or tests? What are the non-surgical options, and what would surgery involve? What should I avoid until the next visit, and when should I come back?

Insurance, fees and booking

Fees and accepted insurance are the details people most often need before booking. Use the facts each profile publishes, and ask the clinic about the rest:

• Dr. Bassam Nadim Al Nahawi's profile publishes a consultation fee of 34 JOD. For the other doctors, ask the clinic for the current consultation fee before you book.
• Ask each clinic which insurance plans it accepts, and whether your plan needs a referral or pre-approval for a specialist visit.
• Contact the clinic directly to confirm the hours and the service you need. Do not rely on an opening time from memory.
• Ask whether a consultation includes review of existing scans, or whether any imaging is charged separately.
• Keep copies of your reports and receipts for your primary care doctor and for any follow-up.

A service listed on a profile tells you what the clinic publishes. It is not a guarantee that the service is available for your case.
