Care built around the person, not the chart.
Amac Neurology began with a simple conviction — that neurological care should be as human as it is expert. This is how that belief became a practice.
Every practice starts with a question. For Amac Neurology, it was a quiet one, asked again and again across years of caring for patients: what would it look like to slow down — to give people living with neurological conditions the time, the answers, and the attention they deserve?
We treat conditions of the nervous system. But we care for people.
Three convictions that shape every visit
Specialized expertise
Neurology is not a side specialty here — it's the whole focus. Deep, current knowledge of the brain, spine, and nervous system, applied to the conditions that bring most people in.
Cutting-edge diagnostics
The right answer starts with the right questions — and the right tools. We use modern testing and imaging to find the true cause of your symptoms, not just to name them.
Patient-centered care
Time to listen. A plan built around your life, not a template. Care that treats you as a person first — and keeps you at the center of every decision.
A practice, year by year
The doors open in Dartmouth
Dr. Chachar founds Amac Neurology, bringing specialized neurological care to the South Coast — built on the belief that patients deserve time, real answers, and attention.
The team grows
As the practice grew, a team of dedicated nurse practitioners joined Dr. Chachar — widening access to care while keeping every visit personal.
Connected to research
A connection with Boston Neuro Research opens the door to clinical research, giving patients access to some of the newest approaches in neurological care.
Caring for the South Coast
Amac Neurology now cares for patients across Dartmouth, New Bedford, and the surrounding towns — combining specialized expertise, modern diagnostics, and care that starts with the person.
The people who care for you
Led by our neurologist and supported by a dedicated team of nurse practitioners. Tap any name to learn more.
Dr. Mushtaque Chachar, MD Neurologist · Founder
Dr. Mushtaque Chachar earned his medical degree at Liaquat Medical College in Hyderabad, Pakistan, then completed his neurology residency at Emory University in Atlanta. That training took him across two continents and grounded him in the thorough, methodical style of neurology he still practices today.
His clinical interests center on sleep medicine, hospital-based neurology, and epilepsy — three areas that ask for patience and precision in equal measure. On any given week that can mean getting to the bottom of a stubborn sleep problem, managing a complex case at the bedside, or helping someone with a seizure disorder get back a sense of control over their days.
Across all of it, the approach stays the same: take the time to listen, look for the real cause instead of the easy label, and make sure patients leave knowing what's going on and what comes next.
