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.

When do you need a pulmonologist?

A pulmonologist (also called a chest or respiratory physician) diagnoses and manages conditions of the lungs and airways. These include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis and interstitial lung disease such as pulmonary fibrosis. They also cover fluid around the lungs (pleural disease), chest infections that keep coming back and sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea. Many people are referred by a family doctor or internist, but most private clinics in Jordan also accept direct bookings.

Signs that are worth a specialist visit include:

  • A cough that has lasted more than three weeks
  • Breathlessness on exertion that is new, worsening or limiting daily life
  • Wheeze or chest tightness, or asthma that wakes you at night or needs your reliever inhaler often
  • Frequent chest infections, or a chest infection that does not settle
  • Loud snoring with pauses in breathing noticed by someone else, choking or gasping at night, morning headaches or heavy daytime sleepiness
  • An abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan that needs follow-up
  • Coughing up blood, or unexplained weight loss with chest symptoms. These need prompt medical assessment, not a long wait.

Urgent warning signs: call 911

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you or someone with you has any of the following:

  • Severe breathlessness, or being unable to speak in full sentences
  • Blue or grey lips, face or fingertips
  • Sudden or severe chest pain
  • Coughing up a large amount of blood
  • Confusion, unusual drowsiness or collapse
  • An asthma attack that is not improving after using the reliever inhaler as set out in your asthma action plan

In Jordan, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

How to choose among the doctors here

The order of this list reflects how complete each profile is, not who is the best pulmonologist in Jordan. Use these practical points instead:

  • Match the services to your problem. For snoring or suspected sleep apnoea, Dr. AlKhyat, Dr. Haddad, Dr. Al Tarawneh and Dr. Sharara list sleep-related services, and Dr. Haddad lists sleep studies. If your doctor has advised a camera test of the airways, bronchoscopy is listed by Dr. AlKhyat, Dr. Haddad, Dr. Kawar and Dr. Al Tarawneh. Dr. Kawar also lists endobronchial ultrasound and thoracentesis (draining fluid from around the lung).
  • Check training on each profile. Look for specialist boards in pulmonary medicine. These may be Jordanian Board, Jordan Medical Council certificates or overseas boards, as listed on several profiles here.
  • Consider hours. If you work during the day, note that Dr. AlKhyat's confirmed hours run until 19:00 on most days. Dr. Sharara sees patients in short afternoon windows, and some clinics close early on Thursday.
  • Private clinic or hospital setting. Some doctors here see patients inside hospital outpatient departments, including Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre and King Hussein Cancer Center. Ask how booking and referrals work there.
  • Age. Most adult chest clinics see adults. Dr. Sharara's profile notes patients aged seven and above. For younger children, ask your paediatrician where to be referred.

A listed service shows what the clinic publishes. Always confirm that a specific test is done on site and on which days.

What to expect at the first visit

The doctor will usually ask about your symptoms, how long you have had them, what makes them better or worse, and your medical and family history. You will then have a chest examination. Depending on your symptoms, you may be offered spirometry or a fuller lung function test. You may also be advised to have imaging, blood tests, a sleep study or a later procedure.

Bring with you:

  • All your current medicines, including your inhalers themselves, so the doctor can check your technique
  • Previous chest X-rays or CT scans (images on a CD and the written reports), lung function results and recent blood tests
  • Hospital discharge summaries or letters from other doctors
  • Your smoking history, including cigarettes, shisha and vaping, plus any work exposure to dust, fumes or chemicals
  • A symptom diary or peak flow readings if you keep them
  • For sleep concerns, notes from a bed partner about snoring or pauses in breathing

Before a lung function test, ask the clinic whether there are any preparation instructions. Do not stop or change any medicine unless a doctor tells you to. Wear comfortable, loose clothing.

Useful questions to ask: What is the likely cause of my symptoms? Which tests do I need, and why? What is the plan if my symptoms get worse? When should I come back?

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

Arab Orient Insurance appears on the profiles of Dr. AlKhyat, Dr. Haddad, Dr. Kawar, Dr. Mansour and Dr. Al-Hajj Ahmed. Dr. Al-Hajj Ahmed's profile lists twelve insurers in total. Insurer lists change, so check with both the clinic and your insurer. When you call, ask:

  • What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
  • Are tests such as spirometry, bronchoscopy, sleep studies or CT scans priced separately?
  • Does my insurer cover this doctor at this location, and is pre-approval needed for tests or procedures?
  • Do I need a referral letter, especially for hospital-based clinics?
  • How long is the wait for a first appointment, and on which days are procedures done?

Getting there

All ten profiles on this page are in Amman, spread across Mecca Street, Abdoun, Abdali, Jabal Amman, Shmeisani, the 3rd Circle area and Jubaiha. If you are travelling from another governorate in Jordan, allow extra time for traffic, especially at peak hours. Use the map location on each profile and confirm the building and floor when you book. If you are breathless, avoid driving yourself; ask someone to take you or use a taxi. If you use prescribed oxygen, bring enough for the journey and the wait.

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm the doctor offers the service you need (for example, sleep study, bronchoscopy or lung function testing)
  • Check the clinic's days and hours, including Thursday
  • Ask about the consultation fee and test costs
  • Confirm your insurer and any pre-approval or referral requirements
  • Gather previous scans, reports, lab results and discharge letters
  • Pack all current medicines and inhalers
  • Write down your symptoms, their duration and your questions
  • Know the urgent warning signs, and call 911 if they appear

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of pulmonologists in Jordan chosen?
Profiles are ordered by a 100-point score for how complete and checkable their published information is. The score covers verification, reviews, experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, hours, fee and map location. Featured profiles may appear first with a badge, but that does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so read each profile and confirm details with the clinic.
Do I need a referral to see a pulmonologist in Amman?
Many private chest clinics in Amman accept direct bookings. However, some insurance policies require a referral or pre-approval, and hospital-based clinics may have their own booking routes. Before your visit, ask the clinic and your insurer whether a referral letter is needed. Bring any letters from your family doctor or internist, as they help the specialist understand your history.
What is a pulmonary function test or spirometry?
Spirometry measures how much air you can breathe out and how fast. It helps doctors assess conditions such as asthma and COPD. A fuller pulmonary function test may also measure lung volumes and how well oxygen passes into the blood. The tests are usually done by blowing into a mouthpiece. Ask the clinic about any preparation, and do not stop medicines without medical advice.
Which doctors on this page assess snoring and sleep apnoea?
Dr. Ahmad AlKhyat, Dr. Rakan Haddad, Dr. Mohammad Al Tarawneh and Dr. Abdul Muneim Sharara list sleep-related services on their profiles. Dr. Haddad lists sleep studies, and Dr. Sharara lists follow-up of sleep apnoea treatment devices. Loud snoring with breathing pauses, choking at night or heavy daytime sleepiness are good reasons to book an assessment, particularly if you drive.
Which pulmonologists here list bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy appears on the profiles of Dr. Ahmad AlKhyat, Dr. Rakan Haddad, Dr. Yaser Kawar and Dr. Mohammad Al Tarawneh. Dr. Kawar also lists endobronchial ultrasound, and Dr. Haddad's biography mentions it. Bronchoscopy is usually recommended after a consultation and other tests. Ask where it is performed, how to prepare, and what your insurer covers.
When should a cough be checked by a chest specialist?
Mainstream guidance suggests seeing a doctor about a cough lasting more than three weeks. You should also seek advice for a cough with blood, weight loss, or breathlessness that is getting worse. Your family doctor may refer you to a pulmonologist. If you have severe breathlessness, blue lips, chest pain or confusion, call 911 in Jordan straight away.
Do people searching for the best pulmonologists in Jordan find any insured options here?
Yes. Five profiles list Arab Orient Insurance: Dr. AlKhyat, Dr. Haddad, Dr. Kawar, Dr. Mansour and Dr. Al-Hajj Ahmed. Dr. Al-Hajj Ahmed's profile lists twelve insurers, including GlobeMed, MedNet and National Insurance. For the other doctors, ask the clinic directly. Coverage can change, so confirm with your insurer before booking.
