How we chose this list
Every matching clinic profile in this area was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call.

When do you need this specialty or procedure?
Paediatric gastroenterology deals with the digestive system, liver and nutrition of babies, children and teenagers. Most tummy troubles in children are short-lived and are handled well by a general paediatrician or family doctor. A specialist opinion is usually considered when symptoms persist, keep coming back, or affect growth.
Common reasons families are referred include:
- Long-standing constipation, especially with pain, soiling or no improvement despite your doctor's advice
- Frequent vomiting or reflux that affects feeding, sleep or weight
- Diarrhoea lasting more than two weeks, or diarrhoea that keeps returning
- Recurrent abdominal pain that disrupts school or daily life
- Poor weight gain, slowed growth or feeding difficulties
- Suspected food intolerance or allergy affecting the gut
- Abnormal liver tests, or jaundice in a newborn lasting beyond about two weeks (three weeks in babies born early)
Warning signs that need urgent care
Do not wait for a clinic appointment if your child has any of the following. Go to an emergency department, or call 911:
- Green or yellow-green vomit, or vomit containing blood
- Blood in the stool, or black, tar-like stools
- Signs of dehydration, such as very few wet nappies, no tears, a dry mouth, sunken eyes or unusual drowsiness
- Severe or worsening abdominal pain, or a swollen, hard tummy
- Vomiting so persistent that the child cannot keep fluids down
- A swallowed button battery or magnets
- A jaundiced baby passing pale, chalky stools or dark urine
- Fever in a baby under three months old
How to choose among the clinics here
The four profiles differ a lot in how closely they match children's digestive care, so read each entry rather than relying on its position.
- Check for a paediatric match. Only one profile lists Pediatric Gastroenterology, Pediatric Hepatology and Pediatric Nutrition as specialties. The two general hospital outpatient departments list paediatrics and, in one case, adult gastroenterology. Ask who would actually see a child.
- Match the service to the problem. Look at the published services. Constipation, growth and nutrition concerns fit a clinic that lists them. Inflammatory bowel disease or liver questions may lead you to a profile that lists hepatology or IBD assessment.
- Consider the setting. A hospital outpatient department may make it easier to coordinate tests and other specialists under one roof. Confirm what is done on site before you go.
- Think about context. A cancer centre is relevant mainly for children with a cancer diagnosis or under cancer treatment.
- Check hours against school and work. All four profiles show Saturday to Thursday hours, but start and finish times differ.
- Insurance and distance. Check the listed insurers, and consider travel time across Amman with a child who may be unwell.
Searching for the best pediatric gastroenterology clinics in Amman usually comes down to fit: the right specialist, a convenient location and clear booking.
What to expect at the first visit
A first consultation usually starts with a detailed history and a physical examination, including your child's weight and height. The doctor may suggest tests depending on what they find.
Preparation
- Keep a symptom diary for one to two weeks. Note bowel habits, stool appearance, vomiting, pain episodes, meals and drinks.
- A clear photo of an unusual stool or vomit can help the doctor; just ask before showing it.
- Write down when the problem started and what has already been tried.
What to bring
- Previous test results, scans and discharge summaries
- The child's growth record or vaccination card, if available
- A list of current medicines and supplements, including over-the-counter products
- Feeding details for babies: type of milk, amounts and frequency
- Your insurance card and ID
Questions to ask
- What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests do you recommend?
- Are there changes to diet or routine we should make at home?
- What signs mean we should come back sooner or seek emergency care?
- When should we have a follow-up visit?
Do not change your child's diet drastically, or remove whole food groups, without medical advice. This can affect growth.
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
Two of the profiles list Arab Orient Insurance. For any clinic, call ahead and confirm the following:
- Whether your specific policy is accepted for a paediatric specialist consultation
- Whether you need a referral or prior approval from your insurer
- The consultation fee, and whether tests or procedures are charged separately
- How to book: some hospitals book by physician name through a patient services or reception desk, while the private clinic arranges assessments directly
- Which records the clinic wants you to bring
- How follow-up visits and test results are handled
Ask for the exact building, floor and clinic number when booking. This matters at large hospitals.
Getting there
Amman's clinics are spread across many districts, so plan your route from areas such as Abdoun, Sweifieh, Khalda, Dabouq, Tla' Al-Ali or the Gardens with traffic in mind.
- Shmeisani: Dr Mohannad Al Mhairat Clinic is inside Specialty Hospital, in outpatient building A on the second floor (clinic 7).
- Jubeiha: King Hussein Cancer Center is in this area. New patients should arrange their visit through Patient Affairs before arriving.
- The two hospital outpatient departments: check the street addresses in their entries above. Ask reception which entrance to use and where to park.
Arrive 15–20 minutes early for registration. Bring snacks, water and something to keep your child occupied, and allow extra time at busy hours.
Checklist before you book
- Confirm the clinic sees children for digestive, liver or nutrition problems
- Ask which doctor your child will see and their specialty
- Check opening hours and appointment availability
- Confirm your insurance is accepted and whether pre-approval is needed
- Ask the consultation fee and what it includes
- Get the exact building, floor and clinic number
- Gather previous results, the medicine list and the growth record
- Prepare a symptom and food diary
- Write down your questions
- Know the warning signs that mean going to emergency or calling 911
What do Pediatric Gastroenterology clinics in Amman charge?
No Pediatric Gastroenterology clinic or centre in Amman has published a price for a Pediatric Gastroenterology service on ClinicsJo yet, so we do not quote an estimated figure.

The clinic or doctor sets the price after assessing your case, and it varies between clinics for the reasons below.
What sets the price at Pediatric Gastroenterology clinics?

- Tests and investigations needed
- The chosen treatment approach and its duration
- Medicines or supplies

How to ask about the price

Frequently asked questions
How was this list of clinics chosen and ordered?
The list includes the four profiles on ClinicsJo for paediatric gastroenterology in Amman. They are ordered by a 100-point score for how complete and checkable each profile's published information is. The score covers verification, reviews, description, photos, services, linked doctors, insurers, hours, map location, years established and an official website. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
What is the difference between a paediatrician and a paediatric gastroenterologist?
A general paediatrician looks after children's overall health, including common stomach bugs, mild constipation and routine growth checks. A paediatric gastroenterologist focuses on the digestive system, liver and nutrition in children. They are usually seen when symptoms persist, are complex or affect growth. Many families start with their paediatrician, who can advise whether a specialist opinion is needed.
When should I worry about my child's constipation?
See a doctor if constipation lasts several weeks, causes significant pain or soiling, or does not improve with the advice you have been given. Seek urgent care if there is a swollen, hard tummy, green vomiting, blood in the stool or severe pain. In babies, constipation from birth or very early in life should also be checked by a doctor.
Do I need a referral to see a paediatric gastroenterologist in Amman?
It depends on the clinic and your insurance. Some private clinics accept direct bookings, while some insurers require a referral or pre-approval before covering a specialist visit. Call both the clinic and your insurer before booking. A referral letter from your child's paediatrician is also useful because it summarises the history and previous tests.
Which pediatric gastroenterology clinics in Amman accept insurance?
On this page, Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics and Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics list Arab Orient Insurance. Coverage varies by policy, so confirm with your insurer whether a paediatric specialist consultation is included and whether approval is needed. For other clinics, ask directly when booking which insurers they work with.
What should I bring to my child's first digestive health appointment?
Bring previous test results, scans and hospital summaries, along with a list of medicines and supplements. Add your child's growth or vaccination record if you have it, plus your insurance card and ID. A one- to two-week diary of bowel habits, meals, pain and vomiting is very helpful. For babies, note the type and amount of milk.
When should I go to the emergency department instead of a clinic?
Go to emergency or call 911 for any of these: green or bloody vomit, blood or black stools in the nappy or toilet, or signs of dehydration such as no wet nappies or drowsiness. The same applies to severe or worsening tummy pain, a swallowed button battery or magnets, or a jaundiced baby with pale stools. These need prompt assessment, not a routine appointment.
