Dr. Drasko Simovic has been selected as a 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor, an honor awarded to approximately 7 percent of licensed physicians nationwide. This recognition acknowledges his significant contributions to neurological diagnostics and patient care through his leadership at EMG Laboratory, which he founded in 1997 with locations in Hyannis and Lawrence, Massachusetts. The laboratory holds the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine's highest level of recognition, Accreditation with Exemplary Status.
Dr. Simovic specializes in using advanced electromyography technology and nerve-conduction studies to diagnose and monitor muscle and nerve disorders. These diagnostic techniques enable precise evaluation of electrical activity and function in muscles and nerves, helping physicians understand conditions including ALS, sciatica, neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and carpal tunnel syndrome. His expertise extends beyond traditional methods as one of fewer than 100 doctors nationwide to have earned the Neuromuscular Ultrasound Certificate of Added Qualification, allowing him to utilize neuromuscular ultrasound for real-time visualization of nerves, muscles, and soft tissues.
Professionally, Dr. Simovic is board-certified in neurology, clinical neurophysiology, electrodiagnostic medicine, and disability analysis. He completed medical education at the University of Belgrade Medical School followed by residency and fellowship training at institutions including Boston Medical Center, Boston University, and St. Elizabeth's Medical Center. Beyond clinical work, he serves as an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Tufts University School of Medicine and maintains affiliations with medical centers including St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, Lawrence General Hospital, and Cape Cod Hospital.
The Castle Connolly Top Doctor designation involves a rigorous selection process with peer physician nominations and evaluation by a physician-led research team considering medical education, training, hospital appointments, and professional history. Dr. Simovic's recognition underscores the importance of continuous innovation in medical diagnostics and the critical role of specialized practitioners in advancing patient care and understanding of complex neurological conditions. This honor reflects the growing significance of advanced diagnostic technologies in neurology and the value of physicians who combine clinical expertise with technological proficiency to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
