Top 5 Vascular Surgery Specialists in Irbid 2026

When do you need a vascular surgery specialist?

Vascular surgery deals with conditions of the arteries, veins and lymphatic system outside the heart and brain. Vascular surgeons assess and treat problems such as:

• Peripheral arterial disease: narrowed leg arteries that can cause calf pain when walking, slow-healing wounds or cold feet.
• Aneurysms: abnormal widening of an artery, most often the aorta in the abdomen.
• Carotid artery disease: narrowing of the neck arteries that supply the brain.
• Varicose veins and chronic venous problems: swelling, aching, skin changes or ulcers around the ankles.
• Circulation problems linked to diabetes: foot wounds that heal poorly or keep coming back.
• Vascular access for dialysis, and follow-up after blood clots in the veins.

In Jordan, people with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a smoking history are at higher risk of arterial disease. If any of these apply, mention them to your family doctor or GP.

Signs that justify booking a visit

• Pain, cramping or tiredness in the calves, thighs or buttocks when walking that eases with rest.
• A foot or leg wound that has not healed after a few weeks, especially if you have diabetes.
• Visible, painful or swollen varicose veins, or darkening and hardening of the skin near the ankle.
• A pulsating lump in the abdomen, or an aneurysm found by chance on a scan.
• A referral from another doctor after an abnormal ultrasound or test.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you notice any of the following. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department:

• A suddenly cold, pale, painful or numb leg or arm.
• Sudden severe pain in the abdomen or back, especially if you have a known aneurysm.
• Signs of stroke or a mini-stroke: face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech, or sudden loss of vision in one eye.
• A swollen, painful calf together with chest pain or breathlessness. This may be a clot that has travelled to the lungs.
• A foot wound with spreading redness, fever, blackened skin or a foul smell.
• Heavy bleeding from a varicose vein or a dialysis access site.

How to choose among the doctors here

All five surgeons listed here are general surgeons with vascular surgery as a sub-specialty. All see patients at the same place: King Abdullah University Hospital Specialty Outpatients in Ramtha. Location therefore won't separate them. These criteria may help instead:

• Published services. Two profiles (Dr. Hussein Ali Heis and Dr. Nawaf Jabor Al Shatnawi) list a combined general and vascular surgery consultation. The other three list a vascular surgery consultation. If your concern overlaps both fields, a combined consultation may be a practical starting point.
• Qualifications in the profile. The biographies mention Jordanian, French and British boards or fellowships, and degrees from Jordanian universities. These tell you about training. They do not predict how a particular case will go.
• Referral route. If a family doctor, diabetes clinic or dialysis unit has referred you, ask whether they recommend a particular clinic at the hospital.
• Availability. Clinic days at a university hospital often vary between surgeons. The doctor who can see you soonest may matter more than anything else on the list.
• Continuity. If you have already seen one of these surgeons, staying with the same doctor for follow-up keeps your records and imaging in one place.

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, and all five currently share the same score. It is not a ranking of skill or outcomes. If you searched for the best vascular surgery specialists in Irbid, the most useful next step is to match your needs with the services and clinic arrangements above.

What to expect at the first visit

A first vascular consultation usually involves a detailed history and an examination. Depending on your symptoms, this may include checking the pulses in your legs and feet, looking at your veins while you stand, and examining any wounds. The surgeon may then request tests, such as a Doppler ultrasound or other imaging, before discussing options.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport, and your insurance card or referral letter if you have one.
• Previous reports, scan results and CDs or images, especially any ultrasound, CT or angiography.
• A current list of medications, including blood thinners, diabetes medicines and supplements.
• Recent blood test results, if available.
• Notes on your symptoms: when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how far you can walk before pain begins.

Questions worth asking

• What is likely causing my symptoms, and what tests are needed to confirm it?
• What are the treatment options, including non-surgical ones such as lifestyle changes or monitoring?
• What are the risks and benefits of each option in my situation?
• What warning signs should make me seek urgent care?
• How will follow-up be arranged, and with whom?

It can help to bring a family member, particularly if a procedure is being discussed.

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

These profiles do not show consultation fees or accepted insurers. Ask the hospital appointment office directly:

• Is my insurance, or my government or military health coverage, accepted at this outpatient clinic?
• Do I need a referral or prior approval before the appointment, or before any tests?
• What is the consultation fee, and are tests such as ultrasound charged separately?
• Which days does the surgeon I want hold clinics, and how long is the wait?
• Is there a separate process for booking a follow-up visit?

When you call, ask for the doctor by name, as one profile recommends. Briefly explain the reason for your visit so the clinic can book the right appointment type.

Getting there

All five surgeons on this page are based at King Abdullah University Hospital, listed in the profiles under the Ramtha district of Irbid governorate. Patients travel from Irbid city and from districts such as Al-Husn, Kufr Yuba, Al-Koura, Bani Kinanah and Al-Mazar Al-Shamali. Many also come from the other northern governorates.

• Confirm the exact outpatient building and clinic number when you book. Large university hospitals have several entrances and clinic areas.
• Arrive early so you have time for registration, parking and finding the clinic.
• If walking is painful because of leg circulation problems, ask whether wheelchair assistance is available at the entrance.

For emergencies, do not travel a long distance to reach a specific clinic. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Hospitals in the governorate include King Abdullah University Hospital, Prince Rashid bin Al-Hassan Military Hospital, Princess Basma Teaching Hospital and Irbid Specialty Hospital.
