In Salt Lake City, Utah, Dr. Zaman established Intermountain Healthcare's Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation in the Urban Central Region and was the department chairman for half a decade. Elected by his peers, he was responsible for the departments at Intermountain Medical Center, Alta View Hospital, LDS Hospital, and Riverton Hospital.
He was at the Intermountain Spine Institute since 2005 and was a founding member of Utah Spine and Joint Specialists in 2008, where he practiced for 5 years. He thereafter decided to move back to The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital (TOSH) and was then a founding member of the Salt Lake Spine and Sports Medicine group, where he was the director of interventional physiatric care. In search of a more culturally diverse place to raise his family, he eventually left Utah for Southern California, and then practiced in Texas as well, deciding he needed more practice independence than those opportunities afforded him.
He has been adjunct faculty in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at both the University of Pennsylvania and at the University of Utah for nearly a decade. In addition to being board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, he is also certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties in Pain Medicine. In 2018, he was elected by his peers as the chairman of the patient education committee of the North American Spine Society, an international organization he has been involved with his entire career.
Dr. Zaman's focus is to provide unsurpassed spine care to his patients, while dutifully fulfilling a responsibility to enrich the growing field of non-surgical spine medicine. As an interventional physiatrist, Dr. Zaman utilizes various imaging studies, electrodiagnostic evaluations, astute physical examinations, and targeted x-ray guided procedures to accurately diagnose and effectively treat painful spinal conditions.
In addition to working with patients, Dr. Zaman participates in research studies, reviews and publishes articles in medical journals, and has made several presentations at national and local medical meetings. He is an editor of The Spine Journal as well as Spine Line and is also an active member of such organizations as the North American Spine Society, American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and the Spine Intervention Society. He was also featured on a local TV news "Ask the Expert" segment on spine care.
A variety of conditions are treated in Dr. Zaman's practice, such as work and sports-related spinal injuries, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease (or herniated discs), radiculopathy (or a "pinched nerve"), facet joint arthritis, hip joint arthritis, piriformis syndrome, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and compression fractures, to name a few.
Dr. Zaman was trained in interventional physiatric spine care at the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Penn Spine Center in Philadelphia, PA. At Penn, he trained under the direction of Curtis W. Slipman, author of "Interventional Spine, an Algorithmic Approach", a text in which Dr. Zaman contributed two chapters. He has completed post-graduate work in general surgery at Mercy Catholic Medical Center in Pennsylvania and in physical medicine and rehabilitation at East Carolina University / Brody School of Medicine in North Carolina, as well as at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City, UT.
Dr. Zaman was born in New York City and is a patriotic American. Aside from spending time with his family, he enjoys skiing, mountain biking, playing squash, motorcycling touring, and automobile racing. He is also a musician and has always enjoyed jamming with others when time allows.
