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.

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 a pediatrician?
Pediatrics covers the health of children from birth up to about 14 years. A general pediatrician handles routine follow-up, vaccinations and acute illness, while subspecialists focus on one area such as the newborn period, the nervous system, hormones and growth, or the lungs.
Common reasons families book a visit include:
- Routine growth checks for babies; many families follow up roughly every two months in the first months of life, alongside the national vaccination schedule
- Vaccinations and catch-up doses
- Colds, flu and other respiratory infections
- Suspected allergies
- Diarrhoea and vomiting
- Follow-up for babies born prematurely
- A fever that keeps coming back or lasts several days
- Feeding difficulties, poor weight gain or concerns about development
- Cough or noisy, fast breathing
- A rash that appears together with fever
Warning signs that need urgent care
Do not wait for a clinic appointment if your child shows any of the following. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department:
- Difficulty breathing, very fast breathing, grunting, or the skin sucking in between the ribs
- Blue, grey or very pale 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 clear glass against it
- A baby under 3 months with a temperature of 38°C or higher
- Signs of dehydration: no wet nappy for many hours, no tears, a sunken soft spot on a baby's head
- Stiff neck, severe headache or unusual sensitivity to light
- Vomiting that will not stop, or green or bloody vomit
Trust your instinct: if your child seems seriously unwell, seek emergency help.
How to choose among the doctors here
This list mixes general pediatricians with subspecialists, so start by matching the doctor's focus to your child's need.
- General care, vaccines and newborn follow-up: several profiles list newborn care, vaccinations and routine check-ups as core services.
- Premature babies and newborns: look for a registered neonatology subspecialty or an Arab Board in Pediatrics and Neonatology.
- Seizures, developmental delay, ADHD or autism concerns: a pediatric neurology profile listing EEG and developmental assessment is relevant. Often your general pediatrician will suggest this step first.
- Growth, puberty, thyroid or diabetes: a pediatric endocrinology profile is the right fit.
- Asthma, chronic cough or sleep-related breathing problems: two profiles here focus on pediatric pulmonology, one also listing sleep assessment and bronchoscopy.
Then consider the practical side. Most of these pediatricians in Jordan practise in Amman, across areas such as Khalda, Hashmi Shamali, Tabarbour, Shmeisani, Jabal Amman and Radwan, with one clinic in Zarqa. For a child who may need frequent visits, a clinic near home or school matters more than you might expect. Compare confirmed hours too: some clinics open at 09:00, others stay open until 18:00, and one closes early on Thursday.
Finally, read each profile's qualifications and biography, and remember the list order reflects how complete a profile is, not how good the care is.
What to expect at the first visit
A first pediatric visit usually includes a history, a physical examination, and measurement of weight, length or height and, for babies, head circumference, plotted on a growth chart. Subspecialty visits may involve more detailed history and, where the doctor judges it necessary, tests.
What to bring
- Your child's vaccination card
- Any previous growth records, lab results, imaging reports or discharge summaries (especially for premature babies)
- A list of medicines, vitamins and supplements your child takes
- Your insurance card and ID
- For babies: a spare nappy, a change of clothes and a feed
Questions worth asking
- What do you think is causing the symptoms, and what else could it be?
- Which signs at home mean I should come back sooner or go to emergency?
- When should we follow up, and how do I reach the clinic with questions?
- Are any tests needed, and where are they done?
Write down symptoms beforehand: when they started, temperatures measured, feeding and nappy changes. This helps the doctor more than memory alone.
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
None of the profiles on this page publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly when you book. Most profiles list accepted insurers, and Arab Orient Insurance appears on many of them, but insurer lists change and coverage depends on your specific policy.
Before the visit, ask:
- Is my insurer and my plan accepted at this clinic, and is pre-approval needed?
- What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
- Are vaccines, EEG, lab tests or other procedures billed on top of the visit?
- Do I need a referral from a general pediatrician for a subspecialist?
- For hospital outpatient clinics: is booking done through Patient Services?
Booking ahead is wise for subspecialists, whose schedules can be fuller.
Getting there
This is a kingdom-wide list for Jordan, and each profile states its own city and district, with some biographies adding the building or medical complex. Check the address and map location on the profile before you leave, and allow extra time at peak traffic hours, particularly with a sick child. If the clinic is inside a medical complex, ask which floor or entrance to use. For a child with a high fever or breathing difficulty, choose the nearest emergency department rather than a distant clinic.
Checklist before you book
- Match the doctor's focus (general, neonatology, neurology, endocrinology or pulmonology) to your child's need
- Confirm the clinic's district and that the confirmed hours suit you
- Ask whether your insurer and plan are accepted
- Ask about the consultation fee and any extra charges
- Check whether a referral is needed for a subspecialist
- Gather the vaccination card, previous reports and medicine list
- Note your child's symptoms, temperatures and feeding pattern
- Know the warning signs and that Jordan's emergency number is 911
Frequently asked questions
How was this list of pediatricians chosen?
The ten doctors come from 72 pediatrics profiles on ClinicsJo and are ordered by a 100-point profile-completeness score. Points come from platform verification, approved reviews, published experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, published fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order shows how complete and checkable a profile is; it does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Who are the best pediatricians in Jordan for my child?
No list can name the best pediatricians in Jordan for every child. The right choice depends on your child's needs, your location, hours and insurance. For routine care and vaccines, a general pediatrician near home is practical. For seizures, growth or hormone problems, or asthma, a subspecialist in neurology, endocrinology or pulmonology may be more appropriate, often after a general pediatrician's assessment.
When should I take my child to emergency instead of a clinic?
Go to emergency or call 911 if your child struggles to breathe, has blue or grey lips, has a seizure, is floppy or hard to wake, has a rash that does not fade under a pressed glass, shows signs of dehydration, or vomits repeatedly. A baby under 3 months with a temperature of 38°C or higher should be seen urgently.
How often should a baby see a pediatrician?
Babies are usually seen frequently in the first months for growth checks and vaccinations, with many families following up roughly every two months early on, in line with the vaccination schedule. Premature babies or those with feeding or weight concerns may need closer follow-up. Your pediatrician will advise a schedule suited to your baby.
Do these pediatric clinics accept insurance?
Most profiles on this page list accepted insurers, with Arab Orient Insurance appearing on many and some clinics listing networks such as NatHealth, GlobeMed or MedNet. Coverage depends on your exact policy and lists can change, so call the clinic or your insurer before the visit to confirm acceptance and whether pre-approval is required.
Do I need a referral to see a pediatric subspecialist?
It depends on your insurer and the clinic. Many families start with a general pediatrician, who can judge whether a pediatric neurologist, endocrinologist or pulmonologist is needed and pass on relevant findings. Some insurance plans require a referral for subspecialist visits, so ask your insurer and the clinic when booking.
What should I bring to my child's first pediatric appointment?
Bring the vaccination card, any previous growth records, lab or imaging reports, hospital discharge summaries, a list of medicines and supplements, your insurance card and ID. Writing down when symptoms began, measured temperatures and feeding or nappy patterns helps the doctor. For babies, pack a spare nappy, clothes and a feed.
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.
