Upon completion of his dental education and successful completion of the
California Dental Board examination, he joined the United States Air Force
Dental Corp. He was enlisted in the service for three successive years,
thereby initially completing a General Practice Dentistry Residency Training
program with and additional two year service commitment.
His military experience provided him with freat exposure to all the dental
specialties and is where he discovered his desire to pursue Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery training. Therefore, after being honorable discharged in 1977,
he moved to Los Angeles and attended the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Residency Training Program at the University of Southern California/Los
Angeles County Medical Center. While in training, he was exposed to the
full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial surgery including but not limited
to, Dentoalveolar Surgery, Maxillofacial Trauma, Oral Pathology –
diagnosis and treatment, Facial Jaw Reconstructions, Pre-prosthetic Surgery,
Dental Implants, and Anesthesia Management. Upon completion of his residency
training program, he accepted an academic appointment, and remained as
the USC/LA County Medical Center’s Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Training program as an Associate Professor and Director of resident hospital
surgical training for the next fifteen years. During this time he also
worked in several surgical practices in the Los Angeles area until 1986,
when he established his own surgical practice in Laguna Niguel, Orange
County, California.
In the fall of 1994, he had the opportunity to return to his Northern California
roots, when he purchases an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical practice in
Chico, California, and relocated to the North State. He was provided continuous
full scope surgical services for the greater Chico community, until January
1, 2016, when he sold his private practice. Although he left his practice,
he soon realized that he really enjoyed and missed providing his surgical
talents to the public at large. Dr. Brownridge possesses a wealth of experience,
knowledge and expertise and has always been known as a compassionate caring
provider. Developing an excellent patient rapport with a clear understanding
of relationships, and thoroughly addressing the patient’s concerns
with clear explanation of the diagnosis and purposed treatment solutions,
is a cornerstone in Dr. Brownridge’s practice philosophy.
