Top 5 Peripheral Nerves Specialists in Abdali 2026

When do you need a peripheral nerves specialist?

Peripheral nerves carry signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. They control movement, sensation and some automatic functions.

Common problems include:

• Peripheral neuropathy: damage to many nerves at once. It is often linked to diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, heavy alcohol use, some medicines or other medical conditions.
• Nerve compression: for example, carpal tunnel syndrome at the wrist, or a nerve pressed on in the neck or lower back.
• Nerve injuries: damage after cuts, fractures or accidents, including injuries to the brachial plexus, the network of nerves supplying the arm.

The neurologists on this page also list wider neurological care, such as migraine, epilepsy, stroke follow-up, tremor and memory problems.

Signs worth booking a visit

• Numbness, tingling, pins and needles or burning pain in the hands or feet that lasts or keeps coming back
• Weakness, such as dropping objects, difficulty gripping, or a foot that catches or drags
• Muscle cramps, twitching or visible thinning of a muscle
• Unsteadiness, especially in the dark or on uneven ground
• Loss of feeling or movement in a hand or arm after an injury that has not recovered
• A new tremor, or memory lapses that keep happening

If you have diabetes, regular foot and nerve checks are part of standard care. Mention any new numbness to your doctor rather than waiting.

Warning signs that need emergency care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if any of these happen:

• Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side
• Slurred speech, a drooping face or sudden loss of vision. These can be signs of a stroke, and every minute matters.
• A sudden, severe headache unlike any before
• A seizure lasting more than five minutes, repeated seizures, or a person who does not wake up afterwards
• Weakness spreading quickly up both legs or arms, or difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Back pain with numbness around the buttocks or genitals, or new loss of bladder or bowel control
• A deep cut followed by loss of feeling or movement in the fingers

How to choose among the doctors here

A search for the best peripheral nerves specialists in Abdali usually brings up very different kinds of doctors. Start by matching the type of specialist to your situation.

Neurologist, neurosurgeon or hand surgeon?

• Neurologists diagnose and manage nerve conditions without surgery. They examine you, arrange tests and plan treatment and follow-up. Dr. Laith Maali, Dr. Layan Akijian and Dr. Fadi Hasan Al Kufri are neurologists. For new numbness, tingling or weakness without an obvious injury, a neurologist is a common first step.
• Neurosurgeons assess problems that may need an operation on the brain, spine or nerves. Dr. Nasri Sami Khoury lists brain, spine and peripheral nerve surgery. Patients often see a neurosurgeon after tests or imaging point to a structural cause.
• Hand and upper limb surgeons treat injuries and compression problems of the hand, wrist and arm. Dr. Waleed Hani Haddad lists tendon, peripheral nerve and brachial plexus injuries.

Practical criteria

• Testing on site. Nerve conduction studies and EMG measure how well nerves and muscles work. Dr. Maali's profile lists these tests along with EEG. For other doctors, ask where any recommended tests would be done.
• Specific interests. Each profile highlights different areas:
• Dr. Akijian lists multiple sclerosis and peripheral neuropathy.
• Dr. Al Kufri lists tremor and Parkinson's disease.
• Dr. Maali's biography describes a focus on stroke medicine.
• Hours and access. Dr. Maali's clinic has confirmed hours from Saturday to Thursday. For the others, ask about clinic days when you book.
• Continuity. Many nerve conditions need follow-up over months. Choose a clinic you can realistically return to.
• Ranking. The list order reflects profile completeness only. It is not a measure of skill or results.

What to expect at the first visit

The doctor will usually take a detailed history and then examine you. This typically includes checking strength, reflexes, sensation, balance and the way you walk. Tests may be suggested based on the findings, and not every patient needs them.

What to bring

• A short written timeline: when symptoms started, where they are, whether they spread, and what makes them better or worse
• A full list of your medicines and supplements
• Recent blood test results, if you have them
• Previous imaging, nerve study reports or discharge summaries, on paper or a disc
• Details of conditions such as diabetes, thyroid or kidney disease, and any recent injury

Questions to ask

• What are the likely causes, and what still needs to be ruled out?
• Which tests do you recommend, and why?
• What can I safely do at home in the meantime?
• Which changes in my symptoms should make me return sooner, or seek emergency care?

If a nerve conduction study or EMG is planned, ask how to prepare. Clinics often advise wearing loose clothing and not applying creams or lotions on the day.

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

Dr. Maali's profile lists Arab Orient Insurance. For any doctor, confirm cover directly before you go.

Useful questions:

• Is the doctor in my insurer's network for this clinic location?
• Do I need a referral or pre-approval, especially for nerve conduction studies, EMG or imaging?
• What is the consultation fee?
• Are tests charged separately from the consultation?
• What co-payment applies?
• Is a follow-up visit within a set period charged again?
• Which languages are used in the consultation?

Use the booking option on each ClinicsJo profile and keep a note of what you were told.

Getting there

All five doctors list Abdali, Amman, as their location. Four of them share the same outpatient clinics address.

If you are coming from Shmeisani, Sweifieh, Abdoun, Jubeiha, the Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, the 7th Circle or Dabouq, allow extra time at peak traffic hours. Check the map location on the profile before you set off.

If weakness, numbness in the feet or poor balance affects your walking or driving, ask someone to accompany you. Arrive a little early to complete registration and insurance paperwork.
