When do you need a pulmonologist?

A pulmonologist is a doctor who diagnoses and manages conditions of the lungs and airways. Common reasons to see one include:

  • Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Interstitial lung disease and lung fibrosis
  • Bronchiectasis and pleural disease (fluid or problems around the lung)
  • Follow-up after lung infections
  • Sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea

Many people start with a general practitioner or internist, who can refer them on when symptoms persist or tests show something that needs a closer look.

Signs that it is reasonable to book a visit:

  • A cough that has lasted more than three weeks, or a cough that keeps coming back
  • Breathlessness during everyday activity that is new or getting worse
  • Wheezing, chest tightness or frequent chest infections
  • Asthma that needs your reliever inhaler often, wakes you at night or limits activity
  • Loud snoring with pauses in breathing that someone else notices, morning headaches or heavy daytime sleepiness
  • An abnormal chest X-ray or CT result that a doctor has asked you to follow up
  • A long smoking history with ongoing chest symptoms

A cough together with unexplained weight loss, ongoing hoarseness or blood in the phlegm should be checked by a doctor promptly rather than left to wait.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you or someone with you has:

  • Severe breathlessness or difficulty speaking in full sentences
  • Blue or grey lips or face
  • Sudden chest pain
  • Coughing up more than a small streak of blood
  • An asthma attack that does not ease with the reliever inhaler as set out in your asthma action plan
  • Confusion or unusual drowsiness
  • Sudden breathlessness, especially with a swollen, painful leg

Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best pulmonologists in Amman usually need a doctor whose services, hours and insurance fit their situation. These practical points can help you narrow the list.

  • Match the services to your concern. For snoring or suspected sleep apnoea, Dr. AlKhyat, Dr. Haddad, Dr. Al Tarawneh and Dr. Sharara all list sleep-related services. Dr. Haddad lists sleep studies, and Dr. Sharara lists follow-up of sleep apnoea devices.
  • Check for procedures if you need one. Bronchoscopy appears on the profiles of Dr. AlKhyat, Dr. Haddad, Dr. Kawar and Dr. Al Tarawneh. Dr. Kawar lists endobronchial ultrasound and thoracentesis.
  • Look for your long-term condition. For lung fibrosis or interstitial lung disease follow-up, several profiles list it, including Dr. Nawas, Dr. Haddad and Dr. Al Tarawneh. Dr. Al Tarawneh lists follow-up for patients on oxygen or respiratory support.
  • Consider who the patient is. Dr. Sharara's profile states he sees patients aged seven and above. For a younger child, ask the clinic or your child's doctor where to go.
  • Fit the hours to your week. Dr. AlKhyat's clinic is open until 19:00 on most days, which suits people who work daytime hours. Dr. Fadel Hassan Al-Hajj Ahmed starts at 09:30. Dr. Sharara's hours are short, so plan ahead.
  • Think about the setting. Some clinics are in hospital outpatient buildings: Dr. Mansour at Jordan Hospital, Dr. Kawar at Abdali Hospital and Dr. Nawas at Al Khalidi Hospital. Others are standalone clinics.
  • Read the qualifications yourself. Each profile publishes its own education and training. Read them, but remember that the order on this page reflects profile completeness, not skill or results.

What to expect at the first visit

A first pulmonology visit usually includes several parts:

  • A detailed history and a physical examination
  • Often a check of oxygen levels
  • Possibly a lung function test such as spirometry
  • Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may suggest imaging, blood tests, a sleep study or a procedure, and will explain why

To prepare:

  • Write down your symptoms: when they started, what makes them better or worse, and whether they wake you at night.
  • Note your smoking history and any exposure to dust, fumes, mould or birds at home or work.
  • Bring every medicine you use, including inhalers. The doctor may want to watch your inhaler technique.
  • Bring earlier chest X-rays, CT scans (on disc if possible), reports and previous lung function results. If you were seen before at a hospital such as Jordan University Hospital or Al-Bashir Hospital, bring those discharge summaries too.
  • For sleep concerns, ask a partner or family member what they notice at night, or bring a short recording of your snoring.
  • If a lung function test is planned, ask the clinic how to prepare and whether you should change anything about your usual inhalers beforehand. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own.

Questions worth asking:

  • What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what tests will confirm it?
  • What does each test involve, and are any done on the same day?
  • What should I do if my symptoms get worse before the next visit?
  • How often will I need follow-up?

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

Each profile shows the insurers it lists:

  • Arab Orient Insurance appears on the profiles of Dr. AlKhyat, Dr. Haddad, Dr. Kawar, Dr. Mansour and Dr. Fadel Hassan Al-Hajj Ahmed.
  • Dr. Fadel Hassan Al-Hajj Ahmed's profile also lists GlobeMed, MedNet, National Insurance, JOFICO, OmniCare, Optima and several other companies.
  • If your insurer is not shown, ask the clinic directly.

Before you book, ask:

  • What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged differently?
  • Are spirometry, sleep studies, bronchoscopy or other tests billed separately from the consultation?
  • Does my insurance cover the visit and the tests, and is prior approval or a referral needed?
  • Where are tests done: in the clinic, or at a hospital or another facility?
  • How long is the wait for a first appointment, and is there a cancellation list?

For Dr. Mansour, the biography notes that Jordan Hospital's Patient Services confirms appointments by physician name, so mention the doctor's full name when booking.

Getting there

Amman is large and spread out, and traffic can be heavy at rush hour, so leave extra time, especially if a lung function test is planned and you want to arrive rested. Two of the clinics on this page are in Abdoun and Shmeisani. The others are in central areas of the city, so check the exact address on each profile before you set out.

If you live in western or northern districts such as Khalda, Dabouq, Tla' Al-Ali, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, the Gardens or near the 7th Circle, factor in the travel time when you choose a clinic, particularly for conditions that need regular follow-up.

Ask the clinic about parking or drop-off points if walking is difficult for you. Amman's large hospitals, including King Hussein Medical Center, Specialty Hospital, Istishari Hospital and King Hussein Cancer Center, serve the city more broadly. If you are severely breathless, call 911 rather than driving yourself anywhere.

Checklist before you book

  • Your main symptom matches the services listed on the profile
  • You have checked whether the procedure or test you may need (spirometry, sleep study, bronchoscopy) is listed
  • The clinic's confirmed hours fit your schedule
  • You have asked about the consultation fee and any separate charges for tests
  • You have confirmed whether your insurer is accepted and whether approval is needed
  • Previous scans, reports and test results are gathered
  • All your medicines and inhalers are ready to bring
  • You know the clinic's exact address and how long the journey takes
  • You know the warning signs that need 911 instead of a clinic visit

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of pulmonologists in Amman chosen and ordered?
The eight doctors come from the 17 Pulmonology profiles on ClinicsJo for Amman. They are ordered by a published 100-point score of how complete and checkable each profile is. The score counts items such as verification, reviews, qualifications, biography, services, insurers, opening hours and map location. Featured profiles would appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Is there one best pulmonologist in Amman?
No list can name a single best pulmonologist in Amman for everyone, and this page does not rank doctors by skill. The right choice depends on your condition, the tests you may need, your insurance, the clinic location and the hours. Use the services and hours on each profile to shortlist two or three doctors, then call to confirm the details.
Should I see a GP first or go directly to a pulmonologist?
Many people start with a general practitioner or internist, who can assess common causes of cough or breathlessness and refer on when needed. Some insurance plans require a referral before specialist visits, so check your policy. If you already have a diagnosed lung condition, an abnormal scan or a suspected sleep problem, booking a pulmonologist directly is common.
What is spirometry and does it hurt?
Spirometry is a lung function test. You breathe in fully and then blow out as hard and fast as you can into a mouthpiece, usually several times. It is not painful, though it can leave you briefly tired or lightheaded. Ask the clinic in advance how to prepare, including whether to adjust your usual inhalers, and wear comfortable clothing.
Which doctors on this page see patients for sleep apnoea?
Sleep-related services appear on four profiles. Dr. Ahmad AlKhyat and Dr. Mohammad Hassan Saeed Al Tarawneh list sleep assessment. Dr. Rakan Haddad lists snoring and sleep-apnoea assessment and sleep studies. Dr. Abdul Muneim Sharara lists sleep apnoea assessment and follow-up of treatment devices. Ask each clinic where any sleep study is carried out and how the results are reviewed.
Which of these clinics list Arab Orient Insurance?
Arab Orient Insurance is listed on the profiles of Dr. Ahmad AlKhyat, Dr. Rakan Haddad, Dr. Yaser Kawar, Dr. Maysaa Mansour and Dr. Fadel Hassan Al-Hajj Ahmed. Dr. Fadel's profile also lists many other insurers, including GlobeMed and MedNet. Always confirm coverage and any approval steps with both the clinic and your insurer before the visit.
When should breathing problems be treated as an emergency in Jordan?
Call 911 straight away for any of the following: severe breathlessness, difficulty speaking, blue or grey lips, sudden chest pain, or coughing up more than a small amount of blood. The same applies to confusion or an asthma attack that does not improve with your reliever inhaler as your action plan describes. These situations need emergency care, not a clinic appointment.

This page helps you compare published profiles; it is not medical advice and does not rank clinical skill. In an emergency call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
