About Dr. Brewer
Dr. Brewer grew up in Santa Barbara and attended Cate School in Carpinteria for high school. He attended UCLA for his undergraduate education, and in 1996 graduated with his M.D. from Hahnemann Medical University (now Drexel University Medical College) in Philadelphia, PA.
He returned to California for a dual Pediatrics and Internal Medicine residency at the University of Southern California LAC+USC Medical Center in Los Angeles. Upon completion of the program, he became double board-certified in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. He has been in private practice as a pediatrician since 2002.
Dr. Brewer and his wife have three young adult daughters, and in his free time, Dr. Brewer enjoys playing tennis, surfing, reading and spending time with his family.
Pediatric primary care has been Dr. Brewer’s lifelong purpose and mission, ever since he was a young boy, watching his father (also a pediatrician) do his job. He considers it both a privilege and joy to be able to practice medicine and help keep families thriving every day.
