Neurologist Dr. Drasko Simovic Recognized as 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor for Advanced Diagnostic Expertise

Dr. Drasko Simovic, a distinguished neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist, has been selected as a 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor, an honor bestowed upon only approximately 7 percent of licensed physicians nationwide. This recognition highlights Dr. Simovic's significant contributions to neurological diagnostics and patient care. As the founder of EMG Laboratory, established in 1997, Dr. Simovic leads a state-of-the-art practice with locations in Hyannis and Lawrence, Massachusetts. The laboratory has earned the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine's highest level of recognition, Accreditation with Exemplary Status.

Dr. Simovic specializes in using advanced electromyography (EMG) technology and nerve-conduction studies to diagnose and monitor a wide range of muscle and nerve disorders. These sophisticated diagnostic techniques enable precise evaluation of electrical activity and function in muscles and nerves, helping physicians understand conditions such as ALS, sciatica, neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and carpal tunnel syndrome. His expertise extends beyond traditional diagnostic methods. Dr. Simovic is one of fewer than 100 doctors nationwide to have earned the Neuromuscular Ultrasound Certificate of Added Qualification. This advanced certification allows him to utilize neuromuscular ultrasound, an evolving diagnostic tool that provides 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 his medical education at the University of Belgrade Medical School and pursued residency and fellowship training at prestigious institutions including Boston Medical Center, Boston University, and St. Elizabeth's Medical Center. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Simovic serves as an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Tufts University School of Medicine and maintains affiliations with several prominent medical centers, including St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, Lawrence General Hospital, and Cape Cod Hospital.

The Castle Connolly Top Doctor designation is determined through a rigorous selection process involving peer physician nominations and evaluation by a physician-led research team. The selection considers factors such as 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.
