Neuroscience Associates

What Neuroscience Associates does

Neuroscience Associates is a privately-held, single-specialty neurosurgery medical practice headquartered in Boise, Idaho, founded by Dr. Michael Henbest approximately in 2003 and serving patients across the state of Idaho. The practice operates six clinic locations (Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Fruitland, Caldwell, Twin Falls) staffed by six board-certified neurosurgeons and five Advanced Practice Providers, delivering the full spectrum of adult and pediatric neurosurgical care including cranial neurosurgery (brain tumors with Stereotactic Radiosurgery, cerebrovascular disorders, hydrocephalus, Deep Brain Stimulation for movement disorders, traumatic brain injury, endoscopic cranial neurosurgery, trigeminal neuralgia), complex spinal surgery (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, scoliosis, adult deformity, minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques, spinal tumors and vascular disorders), and peripheral nerve surgery (carpal tunnel, ulnar neuropathy). Surgical cases are performed under hospital affiliations with six sites spanning Saint Alphonsus (Boise, Nampa), Saint Luke's (Boise, Meridian), Treasure Valley Hospital, and West Valley Medical Center.

The underlying "technology" is the clinical expertise and procedural capability of its neurosurgeons across subspecialty domains, rather than proprietary software or hardware; service delivery is supported by a website (idneuro.com), a Facebook presence, downloadable patient forms, and an SSL-encrypted online payment portal. The practice operates under HIPAA and Federal civil rights compliance frameworks and aligns with national societies (NASS, CNS, AANS, AMA).

The business model is fee-for-service clinical care billed primarily through major insurance plans, with the patient ultimately responsible for payment at time of service. Revenue is generated per encounter (consultations, imaging review, surgical procedures, follow-up) rather than via subscription or enterprise contracts. Patient acquisition is driven by direct phone-based appointment scheduling, regional hospital and primary-care referral relationships, professional society membership, and content partnerships (e.g., Stryker Spine's UnderstandSpineSurgery.com and WebMD). No external investors, private equity, or venture capital are involved; the practice is independent. In 2025 the practice disclosed a network data security incident (detected May 29, 2025; patient notices mailed November 21, 2025) affecting physician transcription notes, which is the principal disclosed operational risk.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Barrow Neurological Institute: Large specialty neuroscience center in Phoenix offering comprehensive brain and spine surgical care. Comparable on service line breadth but operates at significantly greater scale and as a specialty hospital/institute rather than independent group.
• Mayo Clinic Department of Neurosurgery: Academic neurosurgery department within Mayo Clinic performing high-acuity brain, spine, and peripheral nerve surgery. Comparable on subspecialty surgical capabilities but vastly larger scale and integrated within an academic medical center.
• Cleveland Clinic Department of Neurosurgery: National academic neurosurgery program offering comprehensive cranial and spine surgery. Comparable on full-spectrum neurosurgical service delivery, with substantially larger scale, research infrastructure, and geographic reach.

Direct peers

• NeurosurgeryOne: Denver-based independent neurosurgery group practice offering comprehensive brain and spine care. Comparable to Neuroscience Associates as a regional private group with multi-location coverage and APP-supported model.
• Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine: Independent physician-owned neurosurgery group practice based in Indianapolis with multiple subspecialty neurosurgeons and APP support. Highly comparable to Neuroscience Associates as a private, non-academic neurosurgical group serving a regional catchment.
• Semmes-Murphey Clinic: Privately-held neurosurgery and spine practice in Memphis, TN offering comprehensive brain, spine, and peripheral nerve care. Comparable as a multi-surgeon independent group with similar service line breadth.
• Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates: Large independent neurosurgery group in Charlotte, NC providing brain, spine, and pain management services. Closely comparable as a private practice with multiple subspecialists and APPs.

Emerging players

• Blue Sky Neurology: Private neurology and neurohospitalist group in Colorado. Comparable as an independent neurology-focused practice, though with a heavier neurohospitalist emphasis rather than surgical focus.
