Top 5 Treating Neurological Problems Doctors in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty?

Neurology looks after the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. People in Amman usually see a neurologist for recurring headaches or migraine, seizures or episodes that might be seizures, numbness, tingling or weakness, tremor or slowed movement, memory changes, dizziness and balance problems, and follow-up after a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Your family doctor can often start the process and refer you when symptoms last, keep returning, or affect work and sleep.

Book a routine visit if:

• headaches change in pattern, become more frequent, or wake you at night
• you have had a first seizure, or an episode someone thinks may be a seizure
• numbness, tingling or weakness keeps returning or spreads
• memory or thinking problems are getting gradually worse
• you are recovering from a stroke or TIA and need a follow-up review

Go to emergency care now, and call 911, if you notice:

• sudden weakness, numbness or drooping on one side of the face, arm or leg
• sudden difficulty speaking or understanding others
• sudden loss of vision, or sudden double vision
• a sudden, severe headache, especially the worst you have ever had
• a seizure lasting more than five minutes, or seizures repeating without recovery in between
• confusion, fainting or loss of consciousness
• a stiff neck with fever, confusion or a rash

With stroke, time matters a great deal. Note the time symptoms started, and do not wait for a routine appointment.

How to choose among the doctors here

The list is a set of starting points. Its order reflects how complete the published information is, not how skilled each doctor is. When you compare Treating Neurological Problems Doctors in Amman, match each doctor's listed focus to your own problem:

• Seizures and EEG: Dr. Mohammad Iyad Al Zoraiqi lists epilepsy as a subspecialty and EEG among his services. Dr. Laith Maali and Dr. Adnan Fayez Almasri also list EEG.
• Nerve and muscle symptoms: Dr. Laith Maali and Dr. Adnan Fayez Almasri both list nerve conduction studies and EMG. Dr. Almasri also lists repetitive nerve stimulation.
• Stroke: Dr. Laith Maali lists stroke check-ups and prevention, and his education includes vascular neurology training. Dr. Al Zoraiqi lists stroke follow-up.
• Headache and migraine: Dr. Maali and Dr. Almasri both list migraine services. Dr. Almasri also lists botulinum toxin for migraine and occipital nerve injections. Procedures like these are chosen after an assessment, so ask what your examination shows first.
• Years in practice: Dr. Abdullah Mohammad Younes lists more than 26 years of clinical experience. Ask any doctor directly how often they see your condition.
• Language: Dr. Al Zoraiqi lists Arabic, English and German.
• Hours: Dr. Almasri's listed hours cover Saturday, Monday and Wednesday only, so check that they suit your schedule before deciding.

What to expect at the first visit

Prepare a short written timeline: when symptoms began, how often they happen, how long they last, what seems to trigger them, and what helps. If someone has seen an episode, ask them to describe it in detail. If it is safe and allowed, a short video of a seizure-like event on your phone can help the doctor a lot. Bring a complete list of medicines, including supplements and any you have stopped, along with previous scans, EEG or nerve test reports, and recent blood test results.

Expect a neurological examination. The doctor will usually check strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination, eye movements and how you walk. Depending on your symptoms and the doctor's view, the visit may lead to tests such as an EEG or nerve studies. One profile describes its investigations as selected according to symptoms and examination, which is a sensible approach to expect anywhere.

Useful questions to ask:

• What do you think is most likely, and what would change that view?
• Which tests do you recommend, and what will each one tell us?
• What warning signs should make me come back early or go to emergency care?
• Are there activity or driving restrictions I need to follow while we investigate?
• Can you give me a written summary of the plan?

Insurance, fees and booking

Fees differ between clinics, so confirm the cost before you go. The only consultation fee published on these profiles is 30 JOD, for Dr. Mohammad Iyad Al Zoraiqi at Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics. For every other doctor, ask the clinic for the current consultation fee, what it includes, and whether tests are charged separately.

Some profiles list insurers, and the list shows which ones for each doctor. Dr. Al Zoraiqi lists twelve insurers, and Dr. Maali and Dr. Almasri both list Arab Orient Insurance. A listing does not guarantee coverage for a specific service, so call your insurer with the doctor's name and the service you need, and confirm with the clinic too.

Some details need checking at booking:

• Dr. Al Zoraiqi has a professional affiliation with Specialty Hospital, so confirm which site your appointment is at.
• Dr. Almasri's biography mentions clinics in Amman and Irbid, so confirm the branch.
• Patient Services at Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre arranges appointments by physician name and confirms the clinic location and visit time for Dr. Al Hadidi.

Ask each clinic about the appointment length, whether a referral is needed, and what to do if you need to reschedule.

Getting there

Traffic in Amman can be heavy at peak times, so allow extra time, especially for morning appointments. The clinics on this list are in different parts of the city. Shmeisani is one of the districts in this area. The other districts in the wider area include Abdoun, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, 7th Circle and Dabouq. Do not rely on a district name alone, because these areas are large. Ask the clinic for the building name and a nearby landmark before you travel.

If your doctor's profile links them to a hospital, such as Al-Bashir Hospital or Specialty Hospital, confirm which entrance and outpatient department you need. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are common options. If you drive, check parking at the clinic before you set off.
