Neurological Evaluations

Charis Neurology provides comprehensive and patient-centered neurological evaluations, leveraging cutting-edge diagnostic capabilities and a dedicated clinical team. Under the leadership of Dr. Sherif Makar, our practice focuses on understanding each patient’s unique symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Whether you’re dealing with migraines, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, neuropathy, or other neurological conditions, we customize a personalized care plan designed to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.

  1. Holistic Assessment: We go beyond symptom checklists to review lifestyle factors, family history, and personal health goals.

  2. Clear Communication: Our providers explain each step of the evaluation process, ensuring you understand your condition and the rationale behind recommended treatments.

  3. Collaborative Approach: We maintain open communication with referring physicians and other specialists, ensuring continuity of care and a seamless patient experience.

MRI Imaging

At Charis Neurology, MRI imaging is not merely an add-on service—it’s an essential tool that helps us diagnose and manage complex neurological conditions with unmatched precision. We utilize advanced MRI technology, to capture high-resolution images of the brain, spine, and other critical structures.

  1. Timely Diagnostics: Having MRI services on-site allows for immediate scheduling and reduced wait times, which can be vital in urgent cases.

  2. Enhanced Patient Comfort: Our MRI suite is designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring an open-bore or wide-bore design that can alleviate claustrophobia.

  3. Versatile Scans: From brain lesion detection to spinal cord imaging, our MRI capabilities support a wide range of neurologic diagnoses such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, tumor evaluations, and more.

Infusion Therapies

We take pride in offering advanced infusion therapies for a variety of neurological and neuro-oncological conditions—from multiple sclerosis to specialized headache treatments. Our infusion suite is designed for comfort and efficiency, enabling patients to relax in a calm setting while receiving their treatments.

  1. Customized Treatment Plans: Each infusion regimen is selected and timed according to the patient’s specific needs—whether it’s monthly immunotherapy for MS or more frequent treatments for migraine relief.

  2. Safety & Monitoring: Our dedicated infusion team closely monitors each patient’s response, ensuring any side effects are quickly addressed.

  3. Streamlined Process: By housing both clinical care and infusion services under one roof, patients benefit from fewer appointments and cohesive care coordination.

EEG Diagnostics

EEG (electroencephalogram) services at Charis Neurology play a critical role in diagnosing conditions like epilepsy, seizures, and other electrical activity abnormalities in the brain. Our on-site EEG technicians and state-of-the-art equipment ensure swift and accurate data collection.

  1. Non-Invasive Testing: EEGs are painless and require only minimal patient preparation, often involving the attachment of small electrodes to the scalp.

  2. Real-Time Insights: By recording brain wave patterns, we can quickly identify seizure origins or other neurological dysregulations, guiding more precise treatment.

  3. Convenient Scheduling: Because we offer EEG services within the practice, patients can often schedule an EEG on the same day as a neurology consultation, saving time and travel.

  4. Ongoing Monitoring: We may recommend repeat or extended EEG sessions for patients requiring long-term monitoring, such as those with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Botox Treatments for Neurological Indications

Botox isn’t just for cosmetic use; at Charis Neurology, we specialize in its therapeutic applications for chronic migraines and other neurological issues. As an FDA-approved treatment, Botox has been shown to significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.

  1. Comprehensive Headache Management: We tailor Botox therapy to fit into a broader headache treatment plan, possibly combining it with medications, lifestyle modifications, and infusion therapies.

  2. Precise Administration: Our team’s expertise in neurology ensures Botox is injected in the proper muscle groups for maximal migraine relief and minimal discomfort.

  3. Long-Lasting Results: Treatments typically provide relief for up to three months, allowing many patients to experience a dramatic improvement in their quality of life.

  4. Personalized Follow-Up: We’ll track your progress with each injection cycle and adjust protocols as needed to achieve the best results.
