Top 5 Treating Neurological Problems Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty?

Neurology deals with the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. People usually book a neurologist for new or ongoing symptoms such as recurring headaches or migraines, seizures or episodes that might be seizures, numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms or legs, tremor or slowness of movement, dizziness or balance problems, memory changes, and follow-up after a stroke or transient ischaemic attack. The profiles on this page list services in these areas, including headache and epilepsy assessment, EEG, nerve conduction studies with EMG, stroke follow-up and Parkinson's disease care.

A visit is worth booking soon if symptoms keep coming back, interfere with work or sleep, or have not improved after a visit to your family doctor. Note when they happen and how long they last before your appointment.

Some symptoms need emergency care rather than a clinic visit. Call 911 straight away if you notice sudden face drooping, weakness in an arm or leg, slurred speech, sudden loss of vision, sudden confusion or sudden loss of balance, as these can be signs of a stroke. Also call 911 for a sudden, severe headache that feels like the worst of your life, a seizure that lasts more than five minutes or repeats without the person regaining awareness, a seizure with injury or breathing trouble, or a headache with fever, stiff neck, confusion or weakness after a head injury. Do not wait for an appointment in these cases.

How to choose among the doctors here

All five doctors on this page are neurologists, so choose by fit rather than by list order. Useful checks include:

• Match services to your problem. For seizures, look for epilepsy and EEG services. For nerve or muscle symptoms, look for nerve conduction studies, EMG or peripheral nerve listings. For stroke recovery, look for stroke follow-up or post-stroke therapy. For migraine, look for migraine treatment or related injection services.
• Check the district. Entries show Amman districts (Jabal Amman, Arjan, Abdali and Shmeisani) and Irbid (Al-Husn). Pick a location you can reach regularly, since neurology follow-up often needs repeat visits.
• Check hours. Some profiles show confirmed hours for most of the week and others for fewer days. Confirm the day you want before you travel.
• Check languages where they are listed, and choose a doctor you can communicate with comfortably about your symptoms.
• Read the full profile. Subspecialties, training and experience details differ between entries.

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, so a higher place does not mean a better doctor for your situation.

What to expect at the first visit

A first neurology visit usually starts with a detailed history: when symptoms began, how often they happen, what makes them better or worse, family history, current medicines, and past illnesses or head injuries. The doctor then examines your strength, reflexes, coordination, sensation and sometimes your eye movements and gait. Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may order tests such as an EEG, nerve conduction studies or EMG, or imaging, and will explain follow-up. Which tests you need depends on your history and examination.

Before you go, write down your symptoms with dates, and make a list of every medicine and dose you take. Bring any previous scans, EEG or nerve test reports and discharge letters, and any notes from doctors you have already seen. If you have seizures or memory concerns, bring someone who has seen the episodes, since they can describe what you may not remember.

Useful questions include: What do you think is most likely to explain these symptoms, and what is still uncertain? Which tests do I need now, and which can wait? Which warning signs should make me come back sooner or go to emergency? How often should I return, and who should I contact between visits? These general points do not replace the advice your doctor gives after examining you.

Insurance, fees and booking

Insurance and fees vary, and each profile shows different details. Before you book, ask:

• Does the clinic accept your insurer, and is neurology consultation and testing covered under your plan? Some entries list insurers, but confirm directly with the clinic.
• What is the consultation fee? One profile on this page publishes a consultation fee of 30 JOD. For the other entries, ask the clinic when you call.
• Are tests such as EEG or nerve conduction studies charged separately, and can they be done on the same day as the consultation?
• Does your insurer require a referral from a family doctor?
• Which clinic and branch will I be seen at? Some doctors on this list have more than one location or an affiliation, so confirm before you travel.
• Can I get a follow-up date at the first visit?

Getting there

Each profile states its own city and district, shown in its entry, and this list covers Amman and Irbid. Plan the journey from the district printed on the doctor's profile, and allow extra time during busy periods in Amman. Check the confirmed hours before you set out, and confirm the branch if you are booking an Irbid appointment for a doctor who lists more than one location.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm the doctor's clinic, district and branch.
• Confirm the day and hours you plan to attend.

• Ask whether your insurer is accepted and whether a referral is needed.
• Ask the consultation fee, and whether tests cost extra.
• Write down your symptoms, medicines and past test results.
• Save 911 as the number for emergencies in Jordan.
