Dr. Drasko Simovic, MD, has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor, marking his 13th consecutive year receiving this distinction. Fewer than 7 percent of licensed physicians nationwide are selected annually for this honor, which recognizes clinical excellence and peer respect. Dr. Simovic is the founder and director of EMG Laboratory, a neuromuscular diagnostic practice with locations in Lawrence and Hyannis, Massachusetts, established in 1997.
The practice has earned the highest level of recognition from the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine—Accreditation with Exemplary Status. Dr. Simovic integrates nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and neuromuscular ultrasound to assess muscles and nerves with exceptional accuracy. This comprehensive approach enables precise diagnosis and monitoring of conditions including neck and back pain, nerve root injuries, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and complex neuromuscular diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
‘The combination of EMG and nerve conduction studies with neuromuscular ultrasound allows us to determine whether nerves and muscles are functioning properly and to define the severity and nature of disease,’ Dr. Simovic explained. He noted that combining ultrasound with electromyography uniquely bridges anatomy and physiology, enhancing diagnostic precision particularly in focal nerve entrapments and traumatic nerve injuries.
Dr. Simovic is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology, the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine in EMG and Neuromuscular Ultrasound, and the American Board of Disability Analysts. He earned his medical degree from the University of Belgrade Medical School, completed his neurology residency at Boston Medical Center/Boston University, and pursued advanced fellowship training at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center/Tufts University.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Simovic serves as an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Tufts University School of Medicine. His clinical and research contributions have been featured in prominent national and international media. Top Doctors are nominated by peer physicians and selected by the physician-led Castle Connolly research team. Castle Connolly publishes its Top Doctors list at https://www.castleconnolly.com and in various print and online partner publications. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor.
