How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this country 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. Profiles marked “Featured” are shown first, in the display order set by the platform administration.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Published years of experience (up to 25)15
  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8
  • Profile photo5
  • Published services8
  • Listed insurers7
  • Confirmed opening hours6
  • Published consultation fee3
  • Map location3

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Pediatric neurology covers the diagnosis and long-term care of conditions affecting a child's brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. The most common reasons families in Jordan are referred include epilepsy and other seizures, delays in walking or talking, cerebral palsy, recurrent headaches, muscle weakness, and assessment for attention difficulties (ADHD) or autism spectrum conditions.

Many parents start with their regular pediatrician, who can examine the child and decide whether a specialist referral is needed. It is reasonable to ask about a pediatric neurology appointment if you notice:

  • Episodes of staring, jerking, stiffening or unusual movements that you suspect are seizures
  • Your child is not walking, talking or using their hands at the ages you would expect, or is losing skills they already had
  • Weakness, floppiness or stiffness in the muscles, or frequent falls
  • Headaches that keep coming back, wake the child from sleep, or come with vomiting
  • Behaviour that seems unusual for their age, such as very limited eye contact, repetitive movements or major difficulty with attention and learning

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some symptoms should not wait for a clinic appointment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if your child:

  • Has a seizure lasting more than five minutes, or several seizures without waking up in between
  • Has a first-ever seizure, especially with fever, a head injury or difficulty breathing
  • Turns blue, struggles to breathe or cannot be woken normally
  • Develops sudden weakness of one side of the body, slurred speech or a drooping face
  • Has a severe headache with fever, a stiff neck, a rash that does not fade, or confusion

During a seizure, keep the child on their side on a safe surface, do not put anything in their mouth, and note the time it started.

How to choose among the doctors here

The list is ordered by profile completeness, so treat the order as a guide to how much information you can check, not as a quality ranking. Practical points to compare:

  • Training in the sub-specialty. Several profiles publish specific pediatric neurology qualifications, such as Jordanian Board certification in pediatric neurology or fellowship training abroad. Others list general pediatrics with neurology as one of several interests. Decide whether your child needs a dedicated neurologist or a pediatrician who can do an initial review.
  • Match services to the concern. If your child may need an EEG (a recording of the brain's electrical activity), check which profiles list pediatric EEG. For autism, ADHD, learning or language concerns, look for profiles that publish developmental or neurodevelopmental assessment.
  • Continuity. Conditions like epilepsy and cerebral palsy usually need follow-up over years. Choose a clinic you can reach regularly and whose hours fit school and work.
  • Setting. Some doctors see children in a private clinic and others in hospital outpatient clinics. A hospital setting can be convenient if tests are done in the same building, but ask first.
  • Insurance. Only one profile here lists an insurer, so ask every clinic directly.

What to expect at the first visit

A first pediatric neurology appointment is mostly about history and examination. The doctor will usually ask about pregnancy and birth, developmental milestones, family history, and the exact pattern of symptoms, then check your child's movement, reflexes, coordination, vision and behaviour. Tests are not always done on the same day.

What to bring

  • Previous reports, EEG or imaging results and discharge summaries, ideally in date order
  • A list of current medicines and any past ones, including what was tried and how the child responded
  • Your child's vaccination and growth records if available
  • A short video of any episode on your phone; this can help the doctor understand what happened
  • A symptom diary: dates, times, duration, possible triggers such as fever or lack of sleep
  • Notes from school or nursery if attention, learning or behaviour is a concern

Questions worth asking

  • What might be causing these symptoms, and what else are you considering?
  • Which tests are needed, where are they done, and does my child need to sleep or fast beforehand?
  • What should I do if an episode happens at home, and when should I call 911?
  • How often will follow-up be needed, and who do I contact between visits?
  • Should the school be informed, and is therapy (physiotherapy, speech or occupational therapy) recommended?

Keep the visit calm for your child: bring a snack, a favourite toy and anything that helps them settle, especially if an EEG is planned.

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

None of the seven profiles currently publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic when you book. Useful questions:

  • What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged differently?
  • Are tests such as EEG charged separately, and can they be done on the same day?
  • Do you accept my insurer, and do I need a referral or pre-approval?
  • How long is the first appointment, and is there a waiting list?
  • What documents or previous results should I bring?

Dr. Saleh Fakhri Al Ajlouni's profile lists Arab Orient Insurance; for all other doctors, confirm coverage directly. If your child is covered through a workplace or government scheme, check the rules on specialist referrals before the visit.

Getting there

All seven profiles give an Amman address, and each profile shows its district and clinic name. Before you leave:

  • Confirm the exact building, floor and entrance with reception, especially for clinics inside hospitals or medical complexes
  • Allow extra time for traffic and parking, particularly around school pick-up hours
  • Ask whether there is lift access if you are bringing a stroller or wheelchair
  • If you are travelling from outside Amman, try to combine the consultation with any tests on the same day
  • Arrive a little early so your child has time to settle before the examination

Checklist before you book

  • Note your child's main symptoms, when they started and how often they happen
  • Record a video of any episode if it is safe to do so
  • Gather all previous reports, scans, EEG results and medicine lists
  • Check that the doctor's published services match your concern (seizures, EEG, development, behaviour)
  • Confirm the consultation fee and any test costs
  • Confirm insurance acceptance and referral requirements
  • Check the confirmed hours and the exact clinic location
  • Write down your questions in advance
  • Know the urgent warning signs and keep 911 in mind for emergencies

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of pediatric neurology specialists in Jordan chosen?
Profiles are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable their published information is, including platform verification, approved reviews, experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, fee and map location. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so it is not a list of the best pediatric neurology specialists in Jordan, only the most fully documented profiles.
What is the difference between a pediatrician and a pediatric neurologist?
A pediatrician looks after children's general health, growth and common illnesses, and is often the first doctor to notice a developmental or neurological concern. A pediatric neurologist has further training focused on the brain, nerves and muscles in children, and typically manages conditions such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy and complex developmental delay. Many families see their pediatrician first, who can advise whether a specialist visit is needed.
What is an EEG and does my child need one?
An EEG records the brain's electrical activity through small sensors placed on the scalp. It is painless and is commonly used when seizures or epilepsy are suspected. Not every child who has an episode needs one; the doctor decides based on the history and examination. Some clinics ask for the child to be tired or to sleep during the test, so ask about preparation when booking.
When is a seizure an emergency?
Call 911 if a seizure lasts more than five minutes, if seizures repeat without the child recovering in between, if it is a first seizure, or if there is difficulty breathing, a head injury or the child cannot be woken. Keep the child on their side on a safe surface, do not put anything in their mouth, and note the time the seizure started.
Can a pediatric neurologist assess autism or ADHD?
Yes, several doctors on this list publish autism spectrum and ADHD assessment among their services. Assessment usually involves a detailed history, observation of the child, and input from parents and school. Diagnosis can take more than one visit, and the doctor may recommend support from speech, occupational or behavioural therapists. Bring school reports and notes on your concerns to the first appointment.
Do I need a referral to see a pediatric neurologist in Jordan?
Many private clinics accept direct bookings, but insurers and some schemes require a referral or pre-approval before covering a specialist visit. Ask both the clinic and your insurer before booking. Even without a formal referral, a letter or report from your child's pediatrician is useful because it summarises the history and any tests already done.
How much does a pediatric neurology consultation cost?
None of the seven profiles on this page currently publishes a consultation fee. Call the clinic to ask about the first visit, follow-up visits and the cost of any tests such as EEG, which may be charged separately. Also confirm whether your insurance covers the visit and what share you will need to pay yourself.
Why do some profiles appear first?
Profiles marked “Featured” appear first, in the display order set by the platform administration. They are a featured placement, not a measure of clinical quality; the rest of the list follows the published profile score. A featured profile shown on a district page may practise elsewhere in Amman — check the address on its card.
