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.
Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
I met with Dr Zahir for 2nd opinion in Sept '17, prior to surgery with a different surgeon - he concurred with the first surgeon's recommendations and even though I really liked Dr Zahir, I stuck with my original surgeon for the surgery. Big mistake - I met recently with Dr Zahir and he confirmed that I now needed a 2nd surgery but this time I need a specialist in a particular procedure that is only done at VCU or UVA. Dr Zahir has excellent "bedside" manner, is personable and great staff.

I have had a very good experience with Dr. Zahir and his staff. He has taken time to explain the procedure I will be having on the 22nd and the need for it. His office has answered all questions as medical items have developed prior to my surgery. I am just so thankful to have him as my Orthopedic Surgeon and I trust him completely.
