How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this area 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. Profiles marked “Featured” are shown first, in the display order set by the platform administration.

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

An umbilical hernia happens when fatty tissue or a loop of bowel pushes through the weak spot at the navel, where the umbilical cord once passed. Most people notice a soft swelling at or near the belly button that grows when standing, coughing or straining and eases when lying down. A dragging feeling or mild pain that is worse at the end of the day or after exertion is also common.

General medical guidance links umbilical hernias in adults to excess body weight, repeated pregnancies, a long-term cough, heavy lifting, fluid build-up in the abdomen and earlier abdominal operations. Book a visit with a general surgeon if you see a navel bulge, if it is getting bigger, or if it causes pain that interferes with daily life. A surgeon will discuss with you whether to repair it now or keep it under observation, because not every umbilical hernia needs an operation straight away.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away if the bulge becomes firm and painful and will not go back in, or if it comes with nausea, vomiting or no passage of gas. Skin over the swelling that turns red, dark or very tender also needs emergency assessment. A trapped hernia can lose its blood supply, so do not wait for a routine appointment in these situations.

How to choose among the doctors here

All seven profiles are general surgeons, but their published information differs. Use these checks when you compare them:

  • Topic match. Read the services list. Only one profile names an umbilical hernia operation directly, while others list hernia repair in general terms. Ask any surgeon whether they routinely treat umbilical hernias.
  • Published experience. Only two profiles publish a number of years of experience. For the others, ask directly about their training and how many hernia repairs they perform.
  • Platform verification. Two profiles show the platform's verified status. This is a check shown on the profile and is not a rating of surgical skill.
  • Reviews. Only one profile has an approved review, so review data is too thin to compare the doctors. Do not read it as a measure of quality.
  • Location, hours and language. Choose a clinic you can reach, with hours that suit your schedule and a consultation language you are comfortable with.
  • Insurance and fee. Compare the insurers listed and the published fees, as set out below.

What to expect at the first visit

The surgeon will usually examine the swelling while you stand and cough, so the size and reducibility can be judged. They may order imaging or blood tests if needed. Expect questions about your medical history, current medicines, weight, smoking, previous operations and any blood-thinning treatment. Mention all of these, even if they seem unrelated.

If surgery is recommended, the usual stages are: examining and sizing the defect; preparing the patient and controlling risk factors; reaching the hernial sac; closing the defect with reinforcement; then discharge and follow-up. The operation typically takes 30 to 75 minutes, depending on the size of the defect and whether mesh is used. Most elective cases go home the same day or after one night.

Bring a list of your current medicines, any previous reports or scans, your insurance card if you have one, and a written list of questions. Useful questions include: Will you use mesh, and why or why not? What does recovery look like? When can I return to work and resume lifting? Which symptoms mean I should contact you urgently?

Insurance, fees and booking

Each profile publishes a consultation fee in Jordanian dinars. Among these seven, the published fees are 20 JOD, 25 JOD or 30 JOD. Ask what the fee covers, whether a follow-up visit is included, and whether any surgical costs are charged separately.

Insurer lists differ between profiles. Where a profile lists insurers, confirm that your specific plan is accepted and whether it needs prior approval before the visit. If possible, ask reception to confirm this in writing.

Some clinics ask you to contact hospital or clinic reception to request a particular doctor. Confirm the doctor, the clinic location and the appointment time together when you book.

Getting there

The clinics on this list are in Jabal Amman, Khalda, Shmeisani, the 7th Circle, Tla' Al-Ali and Abdali, with one profile listed simply as Amman. Other districts in our location data include Abdoun, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Gardens and Dabouq. If one of those is closer to you, ask the clinic whether it can see you before you travel.

Some surgeons on this list also work with hospitals. Where a hospital is named on a profile, ask which one will host any operation. Hospitals in Amman in our location data include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, King Hussein Cancer Center, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. Their presence on this page does not mean that any listed surgeon operates there. Traffic in Amman can be heavy, so check the route and allow extra time.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the best Umbilical Hernia Repair Doctors in Amman?
This page does not name a single best doctor. The seven profiles are ordered by how complete and checkable their published information is, not by surgical skill or patient outcomes. Compare the entries on experience, verification, services, fees, hours and insurers, then speak with the clinic to judge which surgeon fits your needs.
How was this list chosen?
The platform has eight profiles for this topic, and the seven shown here are the top seven. Each profile receives a 100-point score for how complete and checkable its information is, covering verification, reviews, years of experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, opening hours, published fee and map location. Featured placement does not change a score, and the order does not measure treatment quality.
When should I see a doctor about a bulge at my belly button?
See a general surgeon if the swelling at the navel is growing, stays when you lie down, or causes dragging or pain that affects daily activities. A visit is also worthwhile if you have a long-term cough, have had abdominal operations, or have concerns about weight. The surgeon can examine the area and advise whether to monitor it or repair it.
What signs mean I need emergency care?
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if the bulge is firm and painful and will not go back in, or if it comes with nausea, vomiting or no passage of gas. Red, dark or very tender skin over the swelling also needs urgent assessment. Do not wait for a routine appointment in these situations.
Is mesh always used in umbilical hernia repair?
No. Whether mesh is used depends on the size of the defect and the surgeon's assessment. Ask at your consultation what they recommend, why, and what alternatives exist. Operations typically take 30 to 75 minutes, and most elective cases go home the same day or after one night.
How much is a consultation with these doctors?
Each profile shows a published consultation fee in Jordanian dinars. Among these seven, the published fees are 20, 25 or 30 JOD. Confirm the fee when you book, including whether a follow-up visit and any surgical costs are separate.
Can I see these doctors with my insurance?
Where a clinic has published its insurers, the list appears on its profile. Confirm that your specific plan is accepted by the clinic and whether it needs prior approval before the visit. Ask reception to confirm in writing if you can.
Why do some profiles appear first?
Profiles marked “Featured” appear first, in the display order set by the platform administration. They are a featured placement, not a measure of clinical quality; the rest of the list follows the published profile score. A featured profile shown on a district page may practise elsewhere in Amman — check the address on its card.
