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
L3 L4 L5 cleanup procedure Jan 2020 at Spotsy Regional Med Center. Hospital staff were superb. Intake receptionist had the list of contracted medical specialists working on my body, ready for me to review and confirm that they were "in-network" (for my med insurance ). Then it was off to the same-day surgery suite. Anesthesiologist had me down and up right on time, zero memories. After surg, the surgical attending RN stayed with me until discharge. Surgeon debriefed me and wife. Gave us before and after printed pix of my sciatica area. All is well. I chose this hospital because the staff are paid based on patient critiques (like this one). I feel like I'm the only pt in the place, and i have the full attention of the staff. Dr U. Zahir is my surgeon who specialized in microscopy surgery. Tiny access holes means less tissue to repair and heal. When you need the best, enlist Dr. Usman Zahir.

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
