Dr. Simovic Named Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 13th Straight Year

Drasko Simovic, MD, a nationally respected neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist, has achieved a remarkable milestone by being named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor for the 13th consecutive year. This prestigious distinction places him among an elite group of physicians, as fewer than 7 percent of licensed doctors nationwide receive this annual recognition, which is based on clinical excellence and peer respect. The selection process involves nominations by peer physicians and rigorous evaluation by the physician-led Castle Connolly research team, ensuring that only the most qualified professionals are honored. Dr. Simovic's consistent recognition underscores his enduring commitment to medical excellence and his standing as a leader in the field of neurology.

As the founder and director of EMG Laboratory, a premier neuromuscular diagnostic practice established in 1997, Dr. Simovic has built a reputation for advanced neurodiagnostics, precision medicine, and patient-centered care. With locations in Lawrence and Hyannis, Massachusetts, the practice has earned the highest level of recognition from the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM)—Accreditation with Exemplary Status—along with numerous professional and consumer honors. Dr. Simovic integrates nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and neuromuscular ultrasound to assess the structure and function of muscles and nerves with exceptional accuracy. This comprehensive approach enables precise diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as neck and back pain, nerve root injuries, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and complex neuromuscular diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Dr. Simovic emphasizes that combining EMG and nerve conduction studies with neuromuscular ultrasound allows for detailed assessment of nerve and muscle function, defining the severity and nature of disease to guide appropriate and effective treatment. By fusing structural imaging with functional assessment, this method enhances diagnostic precision, particularly in focal nerve entrapments and traumatic nerve injuries, leading to more personalized treatment plans. Board certified in Neurology, Clinical Neurophysiology, EMG, and Neuromuscular Ultrasound, Dr. Simovic holds an Assistant Professor of Neurology position at Tufts University School of Medicine and has been featured in prominent national and international media, including the Boston Globe and Reuters Health. Castle Connolly, the organization behind the Top Doctors list, publishes its selections at castleconnolly.com and in various print and online partner publications, with doctors unable to pay for selection, ensuring the integrity of the recognition.
