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. Profiles marked “Featured” are shown first, in the display order set by the platform administration.

  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8
  • Profile photo5

  • Map location3

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 appears as a soft bulge at or near the navel. It often becomes more noticeable when you stand, cough, lift or strain, and it may ease when you lie down. Some people feel a dragging sensation or mild pain that gets worse toward the end of the day or after physical effort. Umbilical hernia repair is performed by general surgeons. The surgeon returns the protruding tissue into the abdomen, then closes and reinforces the weak area in the abdominal wall.

Book a visit with a general surgeon if you notice a bulge at your navel, if it is growing, if it causes discomfort that affects daily life, or if you are unsure what it is. Factors linked to umbilical hernias in adults include excess body weight, repeated pregnancies, a long-lasting cough, regular heavy lifting, fluid build-up in the abdomen and previous abdominal operations. Discussing these with a surgeon helps decide what is suitable for you.

Seek emergency care straight away if a firm, painful bulge will not go back in, or if it comes with nausea, vomiting or an inability to pass gas or stool. In Jordan, call 911. Also seek urgent medical help if the skin over the bulge turns red, dark or very tender. These signs can mean that part of the abdominal contents is trapped, and delay can be dangerous.

How to choose among the doctors here

When you search for the best umbilical hernia repair doctors in Jordan, remember that this page orders profiles by how complete their published information is. It does not measure surgical skill or results. Use the list to narrow your options by practical factors:

  • Service match: Read each service list. Some profiles name umbilical hernia operation directly, while others list hernia repair in general terms. Ask the surgeon whether they treat umbilical hernias in the way you need.
  • Experience and training: Compare the published years of experience, qualifications and fellowship training. Where a profile does not publish these details, ask the clinic directly.
  • Reviews: Only one profile on this page has approved reviews, so review counts should not be the main basis of your choice.
  • Location and hours: Choose a clinic you can reach comfortably, and check that its confirmed hours suit your schedule.
  • Languages: Check the languages listed on each profile, so you can discuss symptoms and options clearly.
  • Surgical plan: Ask whether the repair will be open or laparoscopic, whether mesh will be used, where the operation takes place and what follow-up is planned.

What to expect at the first visit

At the first consultation, the surgeon usually reviews your symptoms and medical history, examines the bulge and may order investigations. Several profiles on this list describe this process: assessment of symptoms, investigations and lifestyle, followed by a discussion of options and risks. The surgeon may measure the size of the defect, because this affects the type of repair.

Preparation tips:

  • Bring a list of current medicines and any known allergies.
  • Bring previous scans, laboratory results and operation reports.
  • Note when the bulge appears, what makes it worse and what eases it.
  • Write down your questions before the visit.

Useful questions include: Does my hernia need repair now, or can it be monitored? What type of repair do you recommend, and why? Will you use mesh? Where will the operation take place? How long will I stay, and when can I return to work and lifting? What are the main risks in my case? Who should I contact after surgery?

For planning, a typical umbilical hernia repair takes 30 to 75 minutes, depending on the size of the defect and whether mesh is used. Most planned cases go home the same day or after one night.

Insurance, fees and booking

Before you book, check three things on each profile. First, the consultation fee. The published fees on this page are 25 JOD for some surgeons and 20 JOD for others. These are consultation fees only. The cost of surgery is not published here, so ask the clinic for a full estimate before you agree to an operation.

Second, insurers. Most profiles list a set of insurers, but a listed name does not confirm your own cover. Check your policy and confirm with the clinic before your visit.

Third, opening hours. The hours shown are those confirmed on each profile. Some profiles ask you to contact the clinic or hospital reception to arrange a visit. Use the contact details on the profile you choose, and confirm the appointment the day before.

Getting there

According to each profile, the clinics on this list are located in the following areas:

  • Jabal Amman, Amman (Dr. Dawoud Dawoud Clinic)
  • Amman (Dr. Mumen Mamoun Diraneyya General Surgery Clinic)
  • Khalda, Amman (Dr. Hamed Mahmoud Matkari Clinic)
  • Shmeisani, Amman (Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani Clinic)
  • Sa'Ada Street, Zarqa (Rabee Walid Afaneh Clinic)
  • 7th Circle, Amman (JoSante Healthcare Center, Amman Branch)
  • Tla' Al Ali, Amman (Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital Outpatient Clinics)

Check the exact address on the profile before you travel, and allow extra time for traffic in Amman and Zarqa during busy hours.

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm that the surgeon's listed services include umbilical hernia or hernia repair.
  • Check the years of experience and qualifications published on the profile.
  • Note the consultation fee, either 25 JOD or 20 JOD, and ask what else the visit includes.
  • Check the listed insurers against your own policy and confirm with the clinic.
  • Confirm the clinic hours for the day you plan to attend.
  • Write down your symptoms and when they started.
  • Bring previous reports and a list of your medicines.
  • Prepare questions about mesh, the surgery location and recovery.
  • Know the warning signs that need urgent care, and remember that 911 is the emergency number in Jordan.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of the best umbilical hernia repair doctors in Jordan chosen?
The seven profiles are ordered by a 100-point score for how complete and checkable their published information is. Points come from platform verification, approved reviews, published years of experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, published consultation fee and map location. Featured placement shows a badge but does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so use it as a starting point for your own checks.
Does every umbilical hernia need surgery?
Not necessarily. A surgeon decides this after examining you. Some hernias cause little trouble and can be monitored, while those that are painful, growing or at risk of complications are usually repaired. Your surgeon can explain the options, including monitoring, and the risks of waiting in your particular case.
When should I seek emergency care for a hernia?
Seek emergency care straight away if a firm, painful bulge does not go back in, or if it comes with nausea, vomiting or an inability to pass gas or stool. In Jordan, call 911. Urgent medical help is also needed if the skin over the bulge becomes red, dark or very tender.
How much does a consultation cost with these surgeons?
The consultation fees published on this page are 25 JOD or 20 JOD, depending on the surgeon. These are the fees shown on each profile. Ask the clinic what the consultation includes and what the cost of any surgery would be, because surgical costs are not published here.
Do these surgeons accept my health insurance?
Many profiles list the insurers they work with. A listed name does not confirm your own coverage, so check your policy and call the clinic before your visit. Ask them to confirm in writing whether your insurer applies to consultations and to any planned operation.
Are these doctors verified by the platform?
The profiles of Dr. Dawoud Mahmoud Dawoud and Dr. Hamed Mahmoud Matkari carry the platform verification status. Each profile shows its own status on this page, so compare the status shown on each entry before deciding.
How long does an umbilical hernia repair take, and how long is recovery?
A typical repair takes 30 to 75 minutes, depending on the size of the defect and whether mesh is used. Most planned cases go home the same day or after one night. Recovery times vary, so ask your surgeon about lifting, driving and returning to work for your situation.
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.
