Surgeon told me that he has send his mother to this office

I had a wonderful experience with this office. They accommodated my request to be placed on the cancellation list and called me 3 days later to be see the next day! Office staff was great. Doctor was very pleasant and he was able to diagnose my problem that was fixed by my orthopedic surgeon who told me that he has send even his mother to have the EMG test in this office.

Thank you again Dr. Simovic

Took my mom there for an appt and it was a great experience. The receptionist there was so welcoming. The Dr came out within 5 mins of waiting and welcomed up right away into the room. He joked around and we talked about so many things. He was so knowledgeable about so many different cultures and made us feel so welcomed. Wow! We were in and out of the office in less than 1 hour. Thank you again Dr. Simovic!

Professional and cordial

Recently, my doctor recommended Dr. Simovic, and thankfully I didn’t need to wait too long for my app. I was little bit scared of the needles however with the Doctors expertise and distracting conversation, I felt very comfortable. Staff and the Doctor were professional and cordial, and the whole experience was painless

Put me at ease right away

Dr Simovic put me at ease right away. The test was a little uncomfortable but completely manageable.

Wonderful bedside manner

Drasko Simovic is a neurologist. We used him to do nerve conduction tests related to diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. After trying a different neurologist (who was touted as a great diagnostician, but who deserves to work only on corpses in a morgue), Simovic was not only a breath of fresh air, but seemed more competent as well. He has a wonderful “bedside” manner, making my wife comfortable for a series of not-so-comfortable tests. He kept her laughing and unstressed.
We can’t say enough how much we like Dr. Simovic. We recommend him without hesitation or reservation.
His business is called EMG Laboratory.

A very pleasant experience

I found the lady that checks you in, to be very polite, helpful and efficient. The doctor did a very thorough exam and explained what he was doing with every step of the exam. He was very polite and answered any question that I asked him. I found it a very pleasant experience! I would highly recommend this doctor. The staff and doctor are wonderful and very professional.

Top of the line

Great visit. Top of the line professional.

Doctor was very professional

This being my second time seeing Dr Simovic for two different issues. The doctor was very professional, caring and extremely attentive to my issues at hand. Right to the point, this is what I can do, this is what you need to do, I like that in a doctor. I would highly recommend him to anyone I cross paths with who have same issues as I do.

Overall experience was great

I was sent for an EMG by my hand surgeon who questioned my previous EMG from another doctor, that showed carpal tunnel syndrome. After the surgery my symptoms were the same. Dr. Simovic did a very thorough test for over 40 min. He kept me engaged so it was not a big deal. He found a pinched nerve in the forearm that was missed. I was very happy with the office and my overall experience was great.

Superb

My experience with this office was superb. They were very friendly and the doctor was very pleasant and has great skills. I had this test 10 yrs ago and this was much easier. He kept me distracted with few jokes. I had my follow up visit with my hand surgeon in Lowell the next day. Highly recommended.

Intelligent and understandable explanation

The doctor is approachable, office is easy to schedule, no waiting, intelligent and understandable explanation from doctor. Dr. has a good reputation among surgeons. He has been recommended three times to me by three different surgeons over 15 years.

Great experience

Great experience. I was afraid to have the test but doctor made me at ease and very comfortable. My primary doc had the test results on the same day!

I could not have asked for better

I was concerned about the test but i was immediately put at ease with the choice of music to the doctor’s bed side manner. I won’t lie, there is some minor discomfort but the doctor’s sense of humor and great conversation I was quite comfortable. I could not have asked for better.

Great knowledge

Rarely do you find a doctor that has a personality and listens to you. Dr Simovic has both and was a joy to talk to while having my EMG today. His great knowledge of so many different things made the testing pass quickly.

Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve

From: www.wheelessonline.com 

– Anatomy:    

– LFCN, as its name suggests, is purely sensory;    
– it arises from L2 and L3, travels downward lateral to the psoas muscle, crosses the iliacus muscle (deep to fascia), passes either thru or underneath the lateral aspect of the inguinal ligament, and finally travels onto innervate the lateral thigh;
– it divides into anterior and posterior branches and supplies skin on lateral aspect of thigh;
– in the study by Hospodar et al (JTO 1999), the course of the nerve was variable, but was most commonly found at 10-15 mm from the ASIS and as far medially as 46 mm from the ASIS;
– in no specimen did the nerve pass lateral to the ASIS (eventhough historically the nerve is thought to pass lateral to the ASIS in 10% of population);
– in all specimens the nerve passed underneath the ilioginal ligament and anterior to the iliacus muscle; 

– Meralgia Paresthetica: 

– entrapment syndrome of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve causing burning, numbness, and paresthesias down the proximal-lateral aspect of the thigh;
– may be idiopathic, be a result of trauma, previous operations, and in some cases may arise from Perthes Disease abduction splints;
– in idiopathic cases, the nerve may be encased in bone by the growing apophysis of the anterior superior iliac spine, or may be entrapped in fascia either proximal or distal to the ASIS;    
– diagnosis is made by:           
– reproduction of the pain by deep palpation just below the anterior superior iliac spine and by hip extension;           
– relief of pain by localized injection of lidocaine;    
– treatment: when diagnosis is not in doubt and the symptoms are severe, consider operative decompression at the site of constriction;

EMG and NCS

Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are tests that measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves. Nerves send out electrical signals to make your muscles react in certain ways. Nerves also send signals from your skin to your brain, which then processes the signals, so you can experience a variety of skin sensations.

  • An EMG Test looks at the electrical signals your muscles make when they are at rest and when they are being used.
  • A Nerve Conduction Study measures how fast and how well the body’s electrical signals travel along your nerves. EMG and nerve conduction studies are used to help diagnose a variety of muscle and nerve disorders and to quantify the severity of your condition.


An EMG test helps find out if muscles are responding the right way to nerve signals. Nerve conduction studies help diagnose nerve damage or disease. When EMG tests and nerve conduction studies are done together, they help doctors tell if your symptoms are caused by a muscle disorder or a nerve problem. With EMG and NCS studies, your doctor can next select the best therapeutic option to help you.
