Conveniently located in Lake Mary, caring for patients across Seminole, Volusia, and Orange Counties throughout Central Florida.

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.

AMANDA SMITH
Amanda was amazing. Spent all the time I needed and answered every question. Very pleasantly surprised as most doctors aren’t this kind. Looking forward to seeing her in the future
Sherif Makar, M.D.
Dr. Makar was very considerate. He spoke directly to my mother rather than just to me. He took a considerable amount of time explaining his findings and answering our questions. The staff members were also very kind, helpful, and considerate.
AMANDA SMITH
Very attentive to my concerns she listened and developed a diagnostic plan

Sherif Makar, M.D.
For the first time in eight years I have hope. I'm so grateful that Dr. Makar is determined to find out the root cause of all of my problems. Instead of just treating the symptoms. I feel seen and I feel heard. I've been bounced around so many times because of the complexity of my case and no one has ever been willing to dig into the underlying reason why. I'm incredibly grateful.
Astrid Lied, APRN
I felt she was very attentive, and she took me very seriously, which I appreciated greatly.
