Prior to attending George Washington University School of Medicine, he was commissioned as an officer into the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps. His internship and residency training in internal medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center were pivotal years in the development of becoming a physician. He remained involved in the USAF reserves throughout medical school and residency, then entered active duty with the Air Force in 1994 as a medical officer and internist at Eglin U.S. Air Force Base Hospital in the Florida panhandle, departing as a Major in 1998.

Upon returning to Orange County, he entered internal medicine private practice with the prestigious Newport Beach Medical Associates.  Dr. Brouwer has been on the active medical staff at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach since 1998 and has participated on several hospital committees. He and his wife live in Laguna Beach.  Their oldest son is currently working in finance in Orange County and their younger son attends Tulane Law School. Dr. Brouwer spends his leisure time as a mountain biker and photographer.  Since his youth, he has been a loyal fan of the Dodgers and Lakers."

"Newport Beach Medical Associates is an Internal Medicine Group that was founded in 1996 by James Berman, M.D., Atef Khouzam, M.D. and the late Robert Stein, M.D. The physicians of NBMA are on the medical staff of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.

NBMA physicians are internists, specialists in adult medicine.  They are all board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, and have diverse backgrounds, excellent academic credentials, and extensive experience in the practice of medicine.  Many of our physicians have been involved in leadership positions at Hoag Hospital and have served on several medical staff committees.

As internists, NBMA physicians often deal with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension, and are also skilled in management of other serious medical diseases involving heart disease, stroke, cancer, lung disorders, gastrointestinal problems, infectious diseases, and various other conditions."
