Top 3 Pediatric Clinics in Khalda 2026

When do you need a pediatrician?

Pediatrics covers the health of children from birth to around 14 years. It includes routine check-ups, vaccinations, growth and feeding follow-up, and the treatment of common acute illnesses. A pediatrician is usually the first doctor to see for a child. They can also refer you to a sub-specialist, for example in breathing problems or neurology, when that is needed.

Common reasons families book a pediatric visit include:

• Regular follow-up for babies, often around every two months in the first year, alongside the vaccination schedule
• Growth and development checks, including weight, feeding, speech and movement milestones
• Colds, flu and other respiratory infections that are not improving
• A cough that lingers, or noisy or difficult breathing that keeps coming back
• Suspected allergies, such as recurring rashes or symptoms linked to certain foods or seasons
• Diarrhoea and vomiting
• Follow-up for babies born early (premature babies)
• A fever that keeps returning or lasts more than a few days
• Slow weight gain or difficulty feeding

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if your child shows any of the following. Go to the nearest emergency department or call 911 in Jordan.

• Difficulty breathing, fast or laboured breathing, grunting, or the skin pulling in between the ribs
• Blue or grey lips, tongue or skin
• A fever in a baby under 3 months old
• A rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it, especially with fever
• A fit (seizure), unusual floppiness, or a child who is very hard to wake
• A stiff neck, or a child who is unusually sensitive to light
• Signs of dehydration, such as far fewer wet nappies, no tears when crying, a dry mouth or a sunken soft spot in a baby
• Green vomit, blood in vomit or stool, or severe tummy pain

Trust your instinct as a parent. If your child seems very unwell or is getting worse quickly, seek urgent care.

How to choose among the clinics here

All three clinics on this page are in Khalda, and each lists general pediatrics. Each also lists different extra interests and services. Match the clinic to what your child needs right now.

• Routine care for babies: If you mainly need vaccinations, newborn screening or growth checks, look at clinics that publish those services. Dr. Sultan Al-Hantouli Clinic lists routine vaccination, newborn screening, and growth and development checks.
• Breathing and allergy concerns: If your child has a recurring cough or wheeze, or you need allergy follow-up, a profile that lists pediatric pulmonology and respiratory follow-up may be relevant. Dr. Rasha Qaqish's clinic lists these.
• Neurology or reviewing earlier results: If a doctor has already raised a concern about development, movement or another neurological issue, and you have reports to discuss, Dr. Hanan Atwan's profile lists pediatric neurology and review of previous reports and investigations.
• Opening hours: The confirmed hours differ between clinics. Check them against school, nursery and work hours. Only two of the three list Sunday hours, and none list Friday hours.
• Remote follow-up: If a short follow-up from home would help, note that one profile lists teleconsultation.

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not which doctor is more suitable for your child. If you are searching for the best pediatric clinics in Khalda, use the services and hours above as your practical guide. For a specific, ongoing condition, ask your current doctor whether a referral to a sub-specialist makes sense.

What to expect at the first visit

A first pediatric visit usually starts with questions about your child's health history, followed by an examination. The doctor typically measures weight, length or height and, for babies, head size. They then explain what they found and agree a plan with you.

What to bring

• Your child's vaccination card or record
• Any previous medical reports, test results, X-rays or scans, ideally in date order
• Birth details for babies, including whether the baby was born early and any newborn screening results
• A list of any medicines your child takes, including over-the-counter remedies and supplements
• Your insurance card, if you plan to use insurance
• For babies: spare nappies, a change of clothes and a feed

Prepare your questions

Write down when the symptoms started, how often they happen and what makes them better or worse. For fevers, note the readings and times. Short phone videos can help too, for example of a cough, an unusual breathing pattern or a movement that worries you. Useful questions include:

• What do you think is causing this, and what else could it be?
• Are any tests needed, and what will they show?
• Which warning signs mean I should come back sooner or seek emergency care?
• When should we book a follow-up visit?

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

None of the profiles here publishes a consultation fee, so ask about the cost when you call. Also ask whether follow-up visits, vaccinations or procedures such as nebuliser sessions are charged separately. Dr. Sultan Al-Hantouli Clinic's profile states that it accepts insurance. Even so, confirm that your specific insurer and plan are covered, and whether you need prior approval.

Before booking, ask:

• Is the doctor seeing patients on the day you plan to come?
• Are walk-ins accepted, or is an appointment needed?
• How long is the usual wait?
• What should you bring for the service you need, such as a vaccination record or earlier reports?

Two of the clinics advise confirming details by phone before visiting. Use the contact options on each profile page.

Getting there

All three clinics are in Khalda, in western Amman. That makes them practical options for families living in Khalda itself, and in nearby areas such as Tla' Al-Ali, Dabouq and Sweifieh. Check the address on each profile carefully. Two of the clinics are inside larger buildings, with floor or level details given in their descriptions. Allow extra time for parking and for finding the right entrance, especially with a pushchair. If your child needs ongoing hospital-based care, Amman has major hospitals such as Jordan University Hospital and King Hussein Medical Center. Your pediatrician can advise if a referral is needed.

Checklist before you book

• Match your child's main need (routine check, vaccination, breathing, allergy or neurology) to the clinic's published services
• Check the confirmed opening hours, and confirm Sunday and Thursday times by phone
• Ask about the consultation fee and any extra charges
• Confirm that your insurer and plan are accepted, if you are using insurance
• Gather the vaccination record, previous reports and a list of current medicines
• Write down symptoms, fever readings and your questions
• Confirm the exact floor or level and the parking arrangements
• Know the urgent warning signs, and call 911 if your child seems seriously unwell
