Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Stay Away! One star is too high for Dr. Brewster.
Dr. Brewster harmed me during surgery. In a very simple deviated septum surgery he harmed my Trigeminal nerve, wreaking havoc on me and pain unlike anything I've ever experienced. It took a well-renowned neurosurgeon with UCSD Health to explain it and told me 'never go back to Dr, Brewster again'. Brewster either cut, snipped or pinched my Trigeminal nerve and has damaged me for life. In addition to this, to add further insult and injury to the equation, he is so full of the covid jabs that immediately following each follow-up appointment I had with him I became sick with covid symptoms, due to his body emitting SPIKE PROTEINS. This perfectly healthy adult would brag to me and my daughter about his fourth or fifth jab, having zero clue about what spike proteins do to others around you who are perfectly healthy PureBloods. STAY AWAY from this man. He will harm and damage you as he damaged and harmed me. And NO one at SRS even cares; they only care to protect their own.

Dr Brewster and his team are fantastic!
I am so grateful for Dr. Brewster and his team. I can breathe so much better now! My previous ENT doctor told me it was just allergies and even after reviewing my CT scan said I would not be a candidate for surgery. I insisted to my primary care doctor that he refer me to another ENT doctor and that was when I met Dr. Brewster and I am so thankful I did. I only wish I would have done this years ago. I was suffering from a deviated septum and according to my other doctors it was just bad sinus and allergy issues. Finally I had enough and insisted that my doctor refer me to another ENT option. Dr. Brewster reviewed my CT scans in great detail and you can tell he really cares. He listens and explains everything in great detail. The bottom line is that my septum had major blockage on one side and I needed some other items cleaned out. The medical terms are the following, septoplasty and turbinate reduction is the procedure I had. The procedure went well and the recovery was great.

Dedicated Dr.
I was treated by Dr Brewster in 94 at Naval Medical Center San Diego. I had Keloids on my ear and back . Although I should have seen a dermatologist, I was sent to ENT . Dr Brewster really took his time to really understand how keloids work. Not only did he reconstruct my ear , he treated me months after surgery ! Since I was a kid , my keloids would come back bigger after surgery. Since Dr Brewster’s care My keloids never returned. Pretty amazing considering its in the field of dermatology! Always grateful

I found Dr. Brewster to be very knowledgeable and personable. He took the time to review my condition with me and suggest a treatment plan I was comfortable with. He was quite knowledgeable on the latest surgical methods. Surgery went very really well and recovery was quicker than he said it would be. I am very happy with the results and have no regrets. His nurse was very pleasant and very patient with me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Brewster.

He is completely ignorant. He lies always, make up untruthful reports about patients. He only think of patients as money not caring for them. Stay away from him.

I initially liked Dr. Brewster and all of the other people involved. I had a polyp in my nose removed. They never quoted me a price. I simply relied on internet message boards and doctor websites for cost estimates, which seemed reasonable. However I was shocked to get a bill for $42,000. This was more than my friend's hip replacement surgery, and 3-4 times what other medical groups estimate on healthcare estimate websites. Here's what's also disturbing. During his assessment, Dr. Brewster diagnosed me with another disease but didn't bother to tell me. He buried this in his notes, which I only discovered months after my surgery. How ethical is it not to disclose a disease to a patient?

I met Dr. Brewster as a reference by my PCP. I later had surgery and follow up appointments with him and have great things to say about him. Not only was the surgery a great success, I can now breathe out of my left nostril, but he is very professional and courteous. I even wanted to see him once and he made time in his busy schedule both to see me and answer my questions.
