Top 3 Pediatric Nephrology Specialists in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty?

Pediatric nephrology looks after children with kidney and urinary tract conditions. The profiles on this page are pediatricians with pediatric nephrology listed as a sub-specialty. They also cover broader child health care from birth up to 14 years, including growth checks, vaccination schedules, colds and flu, allergy assessment, diarrhoea and vomiting, and follow-up of premature babies. A kidney concern and a general concern can overlap, so describe all symptoms at the first contact.

Consider booking a visit if your child has:

• a fever that keeps coming back or lasts several days
• slow weight gain, poor growth or feeding problems in a baby
• a cough or breathlessness that does not settle
• swelling around the eyes, face or legs
• blood or foam in the urine, or pain when passing urine
• wetting the bed again after a period of being dry
• a rash together with fever
• a routine check every two months for babies

Urgent warning signs

Call 911 or go straight to the nearest emergency department if your child has:

• difficulty breathing, blue or grey lips, or the chest pulling in with each breath
• a convulsion (seizure)
• being very drowsy, hard to wake or floppy
• a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it, especially with fever
• passing very little or no urine for a long time
• vomiting that stops them keeping any fluids down
• any fever in a baby under three months old

These signs can mean a serious illness that needs care at once. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.

How to choose among the doctors here

The three profiles offer different practical advantages, and the order on this page does not show which doctor is the best Pediatric Nephrology Specialist in Jordan for your child. Compare them using these criteria:

• Location. Two practices are in Amman and one is in Ramtha, Irbid. Choose the one you can reach reliably, especially if your child is unwell.
• Type of visit. Check whether you need a first consultation, a review of earlier reports and tests, or follow-up after an assessment. Each profile lists these services in a different way.
• Setting. One profile is a hospital outpatient clinic. Private clinics may suit you if you prefer a smaller setting. Think about which one you would find easier.
• Hours. Published hours vary. Check the day you can attend, and reconfirm it, because hours can change.
• Information you can supply. Profiles differ in how much background they publish. Compare the detail you can read with the detail you can gather yourself, such as qualifications, and ask the clinic to confirm anything that matters to you.

A profile's completeness score is a measure of published information, not treatment quality. Use it as a starting point, not a verdict.

What to expect at the first visit

Preparation makes the first visit more useful. Bring:

• your child's health record and vaccination card
• a list of current medicines, vitamins and supplements, including doses as you give them
• earlier test results, urine tests, scans and letters from other doctors
• a written timeline of symptoms: when they started, how often they happen, and what has helped or made them worse
• birth and feeding history for babies, and notes on growth or toilet habits for older children

Write your questions down before you go. Useful ones include: what might be causing these symptoms, what tests are needed and why, which results would mean the plan changes, and when to come back. The doctor will examine your child and may recommend tests or a follow-up plan. Ask for the plan in writing if it is complicated.

Insurance, fees and booking

Before the appointment, ask the clinic:

• what the consultation fee is and whether follow-up visits are charged separately
• which health insurers they accept, if you hold a policy
• whether a referral or previous reports are needed
• whether they can review reports you send in advance
• how to cancel or change an appointment
• whether the time you have chosen is confirmed for that day

Fees are set by each clinic. Confirm the amount directly rather than relying on assumptions about what similar visits cost.

Getting there

The addresses below are the ones given in each profile:

• Samah Deeb Al Jbour Clinic: Abu Firas Al Hamdani Street, Amman
• Riham Al Mardini Clinic: Suliman Al Hadidi Street, Amman
• Dr Rola Subhi Saqan: outpatient clinics of King Abdullah University Hospital, Ramtha, Irbid

Plan extra travel time, particularly for a sick child, and check parking and access with the clinic. Confirm the exact building and entrance when you call, as hospital clinics may use a different entrance from the main hospital.
