Dr. Brian Withers is a proud fourth-generation resident of Manhattan Beach. He began his educational journey at Mira Costa High School, graduating in '99, and later pursued higher studies at the University of Southern California (USC). At USC, he majored in International Relations and minored in Pre-Medical Natural Sciences. Demonstrating leadership, Dr. Withers served as the captain of the rugby team, and as President of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
Throughout his high school and college years, Dr. Withers was dedicated to tutoring local students. This experience kindled his passion for making a difference in others' lives. Growing up in a dental-oriented family, he recognized early on that dentistry would be the perfect avenue to combine his love for helping others with the satisfaction of creating radiant smiles. He furthered his dental education at the prestigious Arthur A. Dugoni University of the Pacific Dental School in San Francisco, a leading institution in clinical dentistry.
While navigating the intensive curriculum, Dr. Withers co-founded the Dental Division of Project Homeless Connect. This groundbreaking initiative, in collaboration with then San Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsome, aimed to provide dental care to the city's homeless. Today, the program has evolved into a full externship rotation at the university, continuing its mission to serve the Bay Area community.
Dr. Withers' commitment to excellence didn't stop there. He was an active member of the Dental Aesthetics Study Club, participated in the SCOPE outreach program, and delved into UOP’s advanced clinical sessions for pediatric dentistry.
