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 was 23 years old when I met with Dr. Zahir about horrible back pain I was suffering from. Because I was so young, he didn’t want to recommend surgery for my conditions. He wanted to give me my options and let me choose. The thing that helped me choose easier was that when speaking with him about how bad my back was, he said that if I were older, he would definitely tell me to get the surgery. I ended up going with surgery and I’m very grateful I did. I will be making the trip to VA to see him.

Dr. Zahir AND his staff are amazing! You typically get one or the other. The staff is friendly, efficient and fun. Dr. Zahir actually takes time to listen and does not discount any thoughts you may have. I am so accustomed to doctors only listening to one issue at a time so I focused on the immediate issue. How shocked was I to learn he read my paperwork and began speaking about the other issues because they could be related. I feel safe there.
