At Charis Neurology, we believe that timely, accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of exceptional neurological care. One of the most significant ways we deliver on that promise is through our on-site MRI imaging capabilities, a feature that sets us apart from most outpatient neurology practices in Central Florida.
Having an MRI scanner within our Lake Mary clinic means our physicians can quickly obtain high-resolution images and correlate them directly with your clinical evaluation, all in a single visit. No referrals. No waiting weeks for an appointment at a separate imaging center. No fragmented communication between providers.
Why On-Site MRI Changes the Game for Patients
1. Diagnostic Speed
Neurological conditions rarely wait for a convenient schedule. Symptoms like sudden headaches, unexplained weakness, seizures, or cognitive changes demand fast answers. On-site imaging eliminates the delays that come with external referrals, providing immediate access to detailed neurological scans when time matters most.
2. Patient Convenience
Consolidating your neurological evaluation and imaging under one roof dramatically reduces the burden on patients and families. No extra travel. No coordinating multiple appointments at different facilities. No navigating an unfamiliar hospital environment just to get a scan.
3. Real-Time Clinical Correlation
When your neurologist can review your MRI results immediately, in the same appointment, findings are interpreted in the context of your full clinical picture. Dr. Makar and our clinical team can discuss what your imaging shows with you directly, answer questions on the spot, and adjust the care plan the same day rather than waiting days for a radiologist report to filter back.
4. Advanced Technology Optimized for Neurology
Charis Neurology invests in superior imaging equipment specifically optimized for neurological conditions. Our wide-bore MRI system provides exceptional resolution for evaluating the brain, spine, and surrounding structures, essential for accurately identifying lesions, tumors, vascular abnormalities, and degenerative changes that standard imaging might miss.
5. Streamlined Ongoing Monitoring
Many neurological conditions require serial imaging to track disease progression, treatment response, or surveillance for recurrence. When your imaging is handled in-house, follow-up scans are easier to schedule, results are immediately in your chart, and your neurologist can detect subtle changes over time without any information getting lost in translation between facilities.
Conditions We Evaluate with On-Site MRI
Our on-site MRI supports diagnosis and monitoring across the full scope of neurological care, including:
- Brain tumors and neuro-oncology surveillance
- Multiple sclerosis and demyelinating disease
- Parkinson's disease and movement disorders
- Stroke and cerebrovascular disease
- Epilepsy and seizure disorders
- Cognitive decline, dementia, and memory disorders
- Spine and nerve root conditions
- Headache and migraine evaluation
The Charis Neurology Difference
Most neurology practices in Seminole County and the greater Orlando area send patients elsewhere for imaging. At Charis Neurology, we have made the significant investment in bringing that capability directly to our patients, because we know that faster diagnosis means faster treatment, and faster treatment means better outcomes.
Our Lake Mary clinic serves patients across Seminole, Volusia, and Orange Counties, including communities in Sanford, Longwood, Oviedo, Altamonte Springs, Deltona, Orlando, and Winter Park. Whether you are coming in for an initial evaluation or ongoing neurological care, you can expect the full diagnostic workup, under one roof, with one expert team.
