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.

What Patients Are Saying
I started seeing Dr. Zahir last summer after I was not pleased with my former orthopedic doctor from a well known practice in Richmond, Va. Dr. Zahir is amazing!! He listens carefully to all of your concerns, and takes his time in exploring all options, discussing possible treatments, and outcomes. I highly recommend Dr. Zahir to anyone who needs to see an orthopedic doctor. He is very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He truly makes you feel like he cares about your concerns and treatment.

I needed a second opinion. Had I went to Dr. Zahir in the first place I wouldn't have needed one. The people are extremely helpful. I was able to get an appointment next day. I actually saw Dr. Zahir and he was not in a rush and took the time to explain my condition and answer every question I had and went over my treatmet options. The first pace I went to I couldn't get in to see the doctor only physician assistants. After 4 visits I was still unclear on diagnosis.
