Neurology is complex. Getting care shouldn’t be. At Charis Neurology, board-certified neurologist and fellowship-trained neuro-oncologist Dr. Sherif Makar provides testing, diagnosis and treatment on-site. Conveniently located in Lake Mary, caring for patients across Seminole, Volusia, and Orange Counties throughout Central Florida. At Charis Neurology, our name reflects who we are. “Charis” (khar’-ece) is a Greek word meaning grace, kindness, and goodwill — and those values shape every interaction, every decision, and every moment of care. Patients come to us with questions, uncertainty, or symptoms that feel difficult to describe. Our promise is simple: you will be heard, understood, and supported with the highest level of neurological expertise.

At Charis Neurology, everything we do is guided by the meaning behind our name — “Charis,” a Greek word for grace, kindness, and goodwill. We believe neurological care should feel human, not rushed or overwhelming. Patients often come to us with uncertainty, questions, or symptoms that are difficult to describe. Our role is to offer clarity, comfort, and expertise through every step of that journey.
We take the time to listen closely, explain clearly, and guide you with a plan that makes sense. Advanced diagnostics — MRI review, EEG, EMG/NCS, and detailed neurological evaluation — are tools we use, but compassion and communication are the foundation of our care.
Our philosophy is simple: when patients feel understood, they can finally begin to feel at ease.
That’s the heart of Charis Neurology.

Thank you for being so kind and patient. This is the first time ever a doctor is actually invested in listening and providing helpful feedback and plan of action, all of this without rushing the patient to be seen faster. I really appreciate that you took your time to review my case!
