Top 3 Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Paediatric endocrinology looks at the hormone system in children, including growth and height, the timing of puberty, thyroid function and blood sugar control. Paediatric diabetes care follows children with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, including insulin use and glucose monitoring. General child health, covering routine checks, vaccinations and common illnesses, is usually handled by a paediatrician, and some clinics offer both.

Book a visit, or contact your child's doctor, if you notice:

• A fever that continues for several days
• Slow growth, a child falling across height centiles, or feeding difficulty or poor weight gain in a baby
• A cough or breathlessness that does not settle
• A rash together with fever
• Early or late signs of puberty, or unexplained tiredness or weight change
• For infants, a routine check about every two months, following the growth and vaccination schedule your doctor gives you

Seek urgent care now, and call 911 in Jordan, if your child:

• Is struggling to breathe, has blue or grey lips, or pauses in breathing
• Is very drowsy, hard to wake, or having a seizure
• Is a newborn or under three months old with a fever
• Has a rash that does not fade when pressed, together with fever
• Has diabetes and is very thirsty, passing a lot of urine, vomiting repeatedly, or breathing deeply and fast with a sweet or fruity breath, which can be signs of dangerously high blood sugar

This is general information, not a diagnosis. A doctor needs to assess your child in person.

How to choose among the clinics here

Start with your child's need rather than the order of the list. If you searched for the best Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes Clinics in Amman, note that this page does not name a best clinic. The order reflects how complete each profile's published information is, not clinical quality or outcomes.

Compare the following for each clinic:

• Listed services. Does the profile describe care for your child's concern, such as growth, puberty, thyroid or diabetes? Only one of the three does.
• Doctors. Check the named specialty of the doctor you will see.
• Hours. Confirmed hours differ: Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics runs 08:00 to 16:00, Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics runs 10:00 to 17:00, and Dr. Marlin Nino Nawas Clinic runs 10:30 to 15:30, all Saturday to Thursday. Check which suits your school and work schedule.
• Area and travel. Each clinic's area in Amman is given in its entry above. Allow time for traffic, especially at peak hours.
• Insurance. All three list Arab Orient Insurance.

What to expect at the first visit

Before the visit, confirm the doctor's name, the building and floor, and the time. Ask whether a referral is needed and whether a parent should attend.

Bring:

• Your child's identity document or birth certificate
• Your insurance card, if you plan to use insurance
• The vaccination record
• Any previous height and weight records or growth charts
• A list of current medicines, supplements and allergies
• Previous laboratory or imaging results
• For diabetes: the glucose meter log, insulin or device details, and recent readings
• A short family medical history, including any hormone, thyroid or diabetes conditions

Write down your questions in advance. The doctor will usually take a history, measure height and weight, and may order tests. Ask what each test is for, where it will be done, how long results take, and when the next follow-up is due.

Insurance, fees and booking

All three profiles list Arab Orient Insurance. Coverage can differ by plan, so confirm with your insurer and the clinic before you book. Ask each clinic for its consultation fee and the likely cost of any tests or follow-up visits before the appointment, so there are no surprises.

Use the contact options shown on each profile to book. Confirm the hours for the day you plan to attend, since they vary by clinic. If your child's condition needs urgent attention, do not wait for an appointment. Go to the nearest emergency department or call 911.

Getting there

Each clinic's area is listed in its entry above. If you are travelling from elsewhere in Amman, such as Abdoun, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Shmeisani, Khalda or Dabouq, compare the journey to each clinic before you choose. Ask the clinic for the building name and floor on the day you book, because some clinics share buildings with other practices.
