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.

He immediately returned my call when I called about my injury and made arrangements for my office visit. When I arrived his staff was very helpful. My MRI was scheduled and he reviewed and gave me my treatment options. Wonderful and talented doctor

Dr. Zahir was absolutely fantastic. I first went to see him due to a back injury (herniated disc at L5) and his knowledge of my condition was impressive. I will never forget the first words that he said to me "So, this isn't the first time you have experienced this, is it?". Just from my MRI he was able to see that I had a buildup of scar tissue and had several past injuries. After surgery I am now 3 months out and feeling fantastic! Thank you Dr. Zahir.
