Summary

• Dr. Reiner See is triple board-certified in Neurology, Neuromuscular Medicine and Clinical Neurophysiology with special competency in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring. He devotes his clinical time in the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring unit and at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital’s multi-disciplinary Paralysis Center. He performs electrodiagnostic studies on peripheral nerve disorders and evaluation of spinal cord injury patients undergoing reconstructive neurosurgical interventions. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring reduces the risk of damage to the brain, cranial nerves, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves during certain surgical procedures. It can also be useful in helping guide the surgeon during reconstructive strategy, giving real time data about risk of injury during surgery.
  
  
  Dr. See's current research interests include peripheral nerve surgery repair, spinal cord injury, brachial plexus injuries, paralytic disorders; developing innovative techniques for spinal cord mapping; neuromonitoring protocols to prevent spinal cord ischemia and paraplegia during open thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair; developing neurophysiologic techniques for minimally invasive procedures such as radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. He is a co-investigator in peripheral nerve repair study in non-human primate models. He is collaborating with Massachusetts Eye and Ear Institute (MEEI) in developing novel olfactory nerve stimulation methods in humans.
  
  
  Dr. See has a bachelor's degree in physical therapy and obtained his medical degree at University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. He completed his Neurology residency and fellowship training in Neuromuscular Medicine at University Hospitals Case Medical Center - Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and a fellowship in Intraoperative Neurophysiology at Massachusetts General Hospital – Harvard Medical School.
