New England Neurological Associates

What New England Neurological Associates does

New England Neurological Associates (NENA) is a multidisciplinary neuroscience private practice founded in 1969 and headquartered in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The practice provides neurosurgery, neurology, pain medicine, rheumatology, neuro-behavioral medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, pediatric neurology, chiropractic care, and advanced diagnostic testing (EEG, EMG/nerve conduction studies, X-ray, PET/CT, evoked potentials, myelography, electronystagmography) across seven locations in northeastern Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and southern Maine. It treats approximately 74,000 patients annually and is recognized as one of the largest neuroscience medical practices in the eastern United States.

NENA's clinical technology stack is anchored by the Globus Excelsius GPS Robot used for minimally invasive spine surgery at Holy Family Hospital (the only regional deployment of this system, performed by Dr. Anna Terry) and an AANEM-accredited Electrodiagnostic Medicine Lab with exemplary status led by Dr. Min Zhu. The practice also co-operates the New England Epilepsy Institute with Lawrence General Hospital, which offers the only computerized digital video EEG with overnight telemetry in the region. Since 2024, NENA has operated as part of the Tufts Medicine health system under the myTuftsMed patient portal while retaining the NENA brand identity.

Revenue is generated through professional fees for clinical services and surgical procedures, billed through a broad insurance network that includes Aetna, BCBSMA, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, MassHealth, Medicare Part B, Tufts Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare. The practice maintains hospital affiliations at Holy Family, Lawrence General, Lowell General, Anna Jaques, and St. Joseph hospitals for surgical and inpatient coverage. Leadership comprises CEO Jessica O'Neil, Medical Director and Board Chairman Robert A. Miller, M.D., and President and Treasurer Henry Ty, M.D., F.A.C.S.
