Dr. Zaidi is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and director of spine research at the Computational Neurosurgical Outcomes Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Given the complex nature of spine diseases, Dr. Zaidi believes in tailoring surgical techniques and individualizing care to treat each patient’s unique set of circumstances. He strongly adheres to the philosophy of caring for his patients as if they were his own family members. Dr. Zaidi believes that developing a surgical plan depends on a thoughtful conversation with his patients and their families and tailoring surgery to meet the patient’s goals and specific needs.

Fascinated by the complexity of spinal disorders and the ability of spine surgery to restore function and improve the quality of a patient’s life, he pursued a specialized fellowship in complex spine surgery, adult spinal deformity surgery, as well as endoscopic surgery. He integrates novel, minimally invasive techniques and modern technological innovations to treat a variety of spinal pathologies.

Dr. Zaidi’s clinical practice is focused on the treatment of global spinal imbalance among patients with degenerative spine disease, tumors and scoliosis; by restoring the natural curvature of the spine, surgery can reduce pain and improve function. His research focuses on developing novel surgical tools to improve the safety and efficacy of surgery, as well as analyzing surgical outcomes in order to improve surgical outcomes.

  • I was very informed regarding having back surgery in March and doctor answered all my questions and concerns. Also, spend time during my appointment and did not rush me.

    2025-12-09

  • I'm glad I came to see Dr. Zaidi, after feeling apprehensive about getting a third opinion. It seemed like it would be searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack, but I was wrong. I got clear and convincing answers about my real condition, and the solution couldn't be clearer, now. I'm going to focus on those solutions and give it my best to heal myself the best that I can, before something else goes wrong. Although he was late to my appointment, there was this young lady who went over my MRI and findings with me, in detail. Including the recommended treatment, prior to seeing the good doctor. I told her I was quite impressed with her knowledge and awareness of my situation as she was leaving. I feel as though I could have left with the knowledge she had given, without actually seeing the doctor, now that it's done. Although he did give some good advice that made me feel worlds better about my condition. Thank you Dr. Zaidi and your staff for seeing me.
