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.

I recently visited Dr. Zahir for first time, and I am very happy with my experience there. They scheduled me as a new patient sooner than I expected and on the appointment day I did not wait a lot either. Dr. Zahir and all personel are so kind and nice.

For 2 years I have been told that the herniated disc in my neck and back by my employers doctors was not the reason I was feeling pain after my motorcycle accident in 2016. It took 20 minutes of meeting with Dr. Zahir and a set of MRI’s to finally know that the herniated disc in my neck has been causing the problem the whole time. He listened to all my concerns and did a full exam and came up with my options to include surgery. I have exhausted every other option. Can’t wait to be pain free.
