About Douglas Brewster, MD
I believe that medicine is not always an exact science. Treatment of patients should be individualized to meet their occupational, social and family needs. With this in mind, I strive to work with patients to develop treatment plans that will best fit their needs and schedules. I was inspired to become a doctor by my grandfather. He was a physician and surgeon as well as a great man. My activities outside of work include golf, "honey-do's" and rooting for these teams: Dodgers, Lakers, Packers, Chargers, USC, Northwestern, Kings and the USA!

Dr. Brewster went above and beyond to make sure a very terrifying surgical experience wasn't traumatic for me. He made sure I knew what to expect before, during and after the surgical procedure. He made sure that I was comfortable and pain free, generously and without questioning, giving me more lidocaine injection when I still felt discomfort. He kept reassuring me and keeping me from mentally freaking out by letting me know the positive facts over my fear-based worst-case imaginings. He was very kind, connected, attentive, understanding, compassionate, patient, complementary, efficient, knowledgeable, skilled, communicative, positive, uplifting, encouraging to both my body's and my soul's various needs. That I find truly amazing and extraordinary, which I can't thank him enough for. I was scared shitless, constantly on the verge of a panic attack and fighting my instincts to run out of there. He kept communicating a positive, comforting and fact-based path for me to stand in, empowering me through the entire surgical procedure and positively setting me up for the recovery period afterwards. I truly felt like I was in the best possible hands.
