When does your child need a pediatrician?
Pediatrics covers children's health from birth until about age 14. That includes regular check-ups, growth and development monitoring, vaccinations, and the common acute illnesses children pick up at home, nursery and school. A general pediatrician is usually the first stop. Several doctors on this list also have a pediatric subspecialty (neonatology, neurology, pulmonology, or endocrinology and diabetes) for problems that need more focused follow-up.
It is worth booking a routine visit for:
- Regular infant check-ups. In the first months many families see a pediatrician about every two months to follow weight, length, head growth and feeding.
- Vaccinations. Follow the national immunisation schedule and keep your child's vaccination card up to date.
- Feeding or growth worries. Examples are poor weight gain, difficulty breastfeeding or bottle feeding, or a child who seems to be falling behind in movement, speech or play.
- Fever that keeps returning or lasts more than a few days, even if the child seems otherwise well.
- A cough, wheeze or noisy breathing that lingers or keeps coming back.
- Rashes, especially when they come with fever.
- Diarrhoea and vomiting that do not settle, or recurring tummy complaints.
- Suspected allergies, such as reactions to foods, eczema-type skin problems or seasonal symptoms.
- Follow-up for babies born prematurely.
Warning signs that need urgent care
Do not wait for a clinic appointment if your child has any of the following. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department:
- Difficulty breathing, very fast breathing, grunting, or the skin pulling in between the ribs
- Blue or grey lips, tongue or skin
- A seizure (fit), or a child who is floppy, very drowsy or hard to wake
- A rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
- Signs of dehydration, such as no wet nappy for many hours, no tears, a dry mouth or a sunken soft spot on a baby's head
- Repeated vomiting, green vomit, or blood in vomit or stool
- A stiff neck, a severe headache or unusual sensitivity to light
A baby under three months with a temperature of 38°C or higher should be assessed by a doctor the same day, even if they otherwise look well.
How to choose among the doctors here
This list is ordered by profile completeness, not by skill. So the useful question is not who ranks first. It is whose published information matches your child's needs and your family's routine.
- General or subspecialist. For check-ups, vaccinations, colds and everyday illness, a general pediatrician is the usual choice. Several profiles list newborn care, growth follow-up and vaccinations. For seizures, ADHD or autism assessment, or developmental delay, one listed doctor focuses on pediatric neurology. Two focus on asthma, chronic cough and breathing or sleep problems, and two on growth, puberty, thyroid and childhood diabetes. Many families start with a general pediatrician, who can advise whether a subspecialist is needed.
- Newborns. If you are choosing a doctor before or just after a birth, look for profiles that list neonatology or newborn and infant care.
- Distance and timing. Young children get sick at short notice, so a clinic near home or school is easier for repeat visits. Check confirmed hours too. Some clinics open at 09:00, while others run into the late afternoon.
- Insurance. The listed insurers differ a lot from one profile to the next. Check whether your insurer appears, then confirm with the clinic.
- What you can verify. Look at stated qualifications, any platform verification shown on the profile, and approved reviews where they exist. A single review tells you little on its own.
- Communication. The right pediatrician explains clearly and gives you time to ask questions. If language matters to your family, check the profile or ask when booking.
People searching for the best pediatricians in Amman often find that the most practical choice is a doctor they can reach easily and return to over the years. Continuity helps, because the same doctor gets to know your child's growth curve and history.
What to expect at the first visit
A first visit usually includes questions about pregnancy and birth, feeding, sleep, development and family history, followed by a physical examination. For babies this includes weighing and measuring. For a sick child, the doctor focuses on the current symptoms and may suggest tests if needed.
What to bring:
- The vaccination card and any birth or discharge papers, especially for babies born early
- Previous test results, imaging reports and growth records
- A list of any medicines, vitamins or supplements your child takes
- Your insurance card and ID
- For infants: a spare nappy, a change of clothes and a feed
Useful questions to ask:
- Is my child's growth on track for their age?
- Which vaccinations are due next, and when?
- What signs should make me come back or seek urgent care?
- How do I reach the clinic for follow-up questions?
It helps to write down when symptoms started, any temperature readings and how your child is eating and drinking. Small details are easy to forget once you are in the room.
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
No consultation fee is shown here unless a doctor has published one. Ask the clinic directly before you go. Useful questions:
- Do you accept my insurer, and is a referral or pre-approval needed?
- What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit within a set period charged separately?
- Are vaccinations, tests or procedures (such as EEG or bronchoscopy at subspecialty clinics) billed separately?
- How much notice do you need for an appointment, and can a sick child be seen the same day?
- Is booking through the clinic directly, or through a hospital's patient services office?
Some listed doctors practise in hospital outpatient clinics, where appointments go through a central booking service. Others run their own clinics.
Getting there
Amman is spread out, and afternoon traffic can turn a short trip into a long one. Each profile shows the clinic's neighbourhood, so pick a time that fits your route. Among the districts named on this page, the list includes a clinic in Khalda and two in Shmeisani. One of the Shmeisani clinics sits opposite the Specialty Hospital emergency entrance. Other doctors practise in further neighbourhoods shown on their cards, and three of them share the same hospital outpatient clinics. That can be convenient if your child needs both a general pediatrician and a subspecialist.
Allow extra time for parking in busy medical areas, and bring a stroller or carrier for babies. For any emergency, call 911 rather than driving across the city to a particular clinic.
Checklist before you book
- Decide whether you need a general pediatrician or a subspecialist
- Check the clinic's area and confirmed hours against your routine
- Confirm that your insurer is accepted and whether pre-approval is needed
- Ask about the consultation fee and any separate charges
- Gather the vaccination card, past reports and a medicine list
- Write down symptoms, dates and your questions
- Know the urgent warning signs, and remember that the emergency number is 911
Frequently asked questions
How was this list of pediatricians in Amman chosen?
Profiles are ordered by a published 100-point score for how complete and checkable their information is. The score covers platform verification, approved reviews, years of experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, consultation fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge but keep the same score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so use it to compare information, not to judge skill.
Should my child see a general pediatrician or a subspecialist?
For check-ups, vaccinations, growth follow-up and everyday illnesses, a general pediatrician is usually the right start. Subspecialists on this list focus on areas such as neurology (seizures, ADHD, developmental delay), pulmonology (asthma, chronic cough, sleep-related breathing) and endocrinology (growth, puberty, diabetes). If you are unsure, start with a general pediatrician, who can advise whether a referral makes sense.
When should I call 911 instead of booking a clinic visit?
Call 911 or go to an emergency department if your child has trouble breathing, blue lips, a seizure, or is floppy or hard to wake. The same applies to a rash that does not fade under pressure, signs of dehydration, a stiff neck, or repeated or green vomiting. A baby under three months with a temperature of 38°C or higher needs same-day medical assessment.
Which pediatricians here list insurance companies?
Most profiles list at least one insurer, and Arab Orient Insurance appears frequently. Dr. Suzan Abdelrahim and Dr. Issa Khashashneh each list 12 insurers, and Dr. Ahmad Al Khabbas lists eight. Dr. Khashashneh's list includes GlobeMed and MedNet. Insurer lists can change, so always confirm coverage and any pre-approval rules with the clinic and your insurer before the visit.
How much does a pediatric consultation cost in Amman?
This page only shows a fee where a doctor has published one in their profile, and it does not estimate prices. Fees can depend on the type of visit and on whether tests, vaccines or procedures are involved. Ask the clinic for the consultation and follow-up fees when you book, and check what your insurance covers.
Which listed clinics open early or stay open later?
Dr. Issa Khashashneh in Shmeisani and Dr. Saleh Al Ajlouni both open at 09:00. Dr. Ahmad Al Khabbas in Tabarbour has the latest confirmed closing time, 18:00. All the confirmed schedules here run Saturday to Thursday, so for a Friday illness plan ahead or seek urgent care if warning signs appear.
Which doctors here focus on newborns and premature babies?
Dr. Sultan Al-Hantouli and Dr. Issa Khashashneh have neonatology listed as a subspecialty, and Dr. Sultan's biography mentions premature baby follow-up. Dr. Reem Jarad lists neonatal care and follow-up. Dr. Suzan Abdelrahim and Dr. Ahmad Al Khabbas also list newborn and infant care among their services. Check each profile and ask the clinic how early it can see a newborn.
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.
