Dr. Usman Zahir
Dr. Usman Zahir is a orthopaedic spine surgeon with specialized training in endoscopic spine surgery. As an instructor, he continues to teach and train other surgeons from around the country on the use of endoscopic techniques in the spine. Dr. Zahir’s interest in endoscopics began out of a desire to find less invasive ways of treating common spinal problems. Endoscopic spine surgery is the least invasive surgical treatment for spinal stenosis and disc herniations.
During his orthopedic residency and spine fellowship training at the University of Maryland Medical Center/R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Zahir received training in a wide variety of spinal conditions. He then served as Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital for five years before joining HCA Virginia Physicians. Since 2018, much of Dr. Zahir’s practice has focused on endoscopic spine surgery.
As a regional expert on endoscopics, Dr. Zahir is often asked to provide second opinions for patients undergoing traditional spinal surgery. Dr. Zahir’s practice philosophy centers on patient education. He takes pride in promoting a patient centered approach in treatment.
During his free time, Dr. Zahir enjoys traveling with his wife.

Dr. Zahir is wonderful. He currently practices in York, PA at OSS so other reviews are about the staff in MD are obsolete. He has a great staff in an outstanding practice. I'm only a couple of months out from my 3/5/25 surgery and everything is good. He has prepared at every point pre and post surgery. He even kept me for 4 days in the hospital when it was a 23 hour procedure. I highly recommend him.

Several office visits resulted in spinal surgery. When I woke from surgery i had absolutely no pain as he promised.At those office visits he took an interest in my issue and guided me thru to surgery. He did talk to my wife following the surgery.If I have any "complaints" it is that he has not followed up with me personally. But in the big scope, that is pretty minor.I will recommend him to anyone with spinal issues.
