About me

I’m an orthopedic surgeon specializing in upper extremity and hand care. I help patients with a wide range of conditions involving the muscles, bones, nerves and joints of the arm, wrist, hand and elbow. 

I help patients experiencing pain, numbness, repetitive motion problems and other injuries that can affect their ability to use their arm or hand comfortably.

I completed fellowship training in hand surgery, which included principles from both orthopedics and plastic surgery, giving me a broad perspective on treating complex upper extremity conditions.

I aim to understand your unique concerns and goals so we can create a personalized treatment plan together. Whether your care includes non-surgical options, skilled surgical techniques or a combination of both, I take time to explain your diagnosis and options in clear, easy-to-understand language. I want you to feel confident and informed throughout your care.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Portland’s vibrant food and music scene, cheering on the Trail Blazers and enjoying the outdoors through running, biking, backpacking and skiing.

  5. All my questions and concerns were answered with much care and understanding. Thank you!!

  6. Confident. Capable.

  7. Both the attending physician and Dr. Nazeere were thorough and answered all of my questions

  8. While I'm sure Dr. Nazir is an extremely competent physician, he didn't communicate well with me. He appeared rushed. He looked at my x rays then told me what surgery recommended. When I asked about alternatives, I felt dismissed. I came to him expecting to be able to discuss alternatives and options which would best meet my needs. I didn't get that at all. I may return for his technical skills, but certainly not because of his chair side manner.

  9. Dr. Nazir is always upbeat and welcoming. He assessed what I needed (steroid shots) and as always was mindful of my pain during the injection procedure, which I appreciate. He also answered my questions about possible wrist surgery. A good experience overall.
