My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I have always believed that to be a good coach to others, you have to play the game yourself. This is especially true in medicine. In order to encourage my patients to improve their health by eating correctly and exercising regularly, I must also strive to do so in my own life. 

My passion, as your personal family physician, is to have that same team approach. Meaning I can bring my expertise (whether it is in treating your hypertension, diabetes or helping you lose weight) to the table. I am excited to not only focus on helping you stay healthy, but most definitely to go the extra mile toward helping improve your health if you do fall ill. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. 

I have been blessed to work for more than 15 years in our North County district, and thus have established a great working relationship with nearby specialists. Furthermore, as the only board-certified family practice physician who manages my own patients’ treatment at our local Twin Cities Community Hospital, I am a strong believer in continuity of care. Having your own physician, who knows you and your medical history, manage any needed hospital treatment could make all the difference. I’ve always wanted to be a family doctor. Because I get to play a role in all aspects of my patients’ health, I have the privilege of fostering a personal relationship with each patient and focus on preventive care.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Breytenbach

from Sharon in CA February 10, 2024 for Hendrik F. Breytenbach, MD

It was divine intervention that brought me to Dr Breytenbach's office. I was actually there to see another doctor (infectious disease specialist) when I noticed a sweet bio sitting on the receptionist counter, complete with pictures. It was something Dr. B's daughter had put together, possibly for school, that showed he and his family doing missionary work. Her write-up of her dad… See more

I have been with Dr B for over 20 years. He is caring and compassionate. He listens and is knowledgeable. Dr. B s easy to get to get ahold of. His office staff is professional.

from Dave in CA January 19, 2024 for Hendrik F. Breytenbach, MD

I always really appreciate the fast phone response from our Doctor when issues of medical questions or prescriptions arise. Recently (morning of January 12th) I came down with a virus, and called to request an urgent visit. He responded within minutes, asked how fast the symptoms came on. After telling him that this occurred within the last hour or so he suggested to see if it resolved in… See more

In 1978, Professor Tom Stamey performed his “Stamey Procedure” on me at Stanford University Medical School.
I subsequently suffered at least a dozen procedures attempting to recover sutures and Dacron Pledgets which migrated around my body.
The Sutures and Pledgets wreaked havoc which then required additional surgical intervention attempting to repair the damage.
I have also… See more

Having come from a Medical family in Los Angeles, I've always had the best care available. When we moved to Paso Robles to live in the country I found a completely different medical climate. Because I have a chronic disease, my health needs to be monitored on a regular basis but also by someone who is extremely well trained, conscientious, concerned and takes the time to connect with my… See more

from Raymond in CA March 11, 2020 for Hendrik F. Breytenbach, MD

I had been a patient of Dr. Breytenbach's for a number of years, and so when he affiliated with MDVIP, it was a "no brainer" that I would continue as his patient and a MDVIP member.
During one of my routine visits, I casually mentioned that my brother had recently been treated for a malignant brain tumor that had metastasized from his lungs. The next appointment that I had… See more

from tomasita in CA March 11, 2020 for Hendrik F. Breytenbach, MD

I am very happy to be a patient of Dr. Breytenbach's because he is responsive, responsible, and caring. I tell all of my friends how I feel so lucky to have found a doctor who truly takes his job seriously and takes the time to get to know his patients at a deep level before prescribing and diagnosing. He is a great listener and believes in having a good discussion with his patients… See more

from Dan in CA March 13, 2018 for Hendrik F. Breytenbach, MD

Dr. Breytenbach, I certainly thank our Lord for not only your knowledge but you compassion and FRIENDSHIP. I feel like a special family member each time I come in for a visit. With my health issues I thank God I have such a great team as you and Dr. Prier. You both have an awesome staff of fun, loving, caring people.
You all are just fun to hang with!

from Gayle & Leo in CA March 10, 2018 for Hendrik F. Breytenbach, MD

Joining the MDVIP practice of Dr. Breytenbach was the best decision. Our long time doctor had retired and finding a new doctor in our area was a challenge. We both had seen Dr. Breytenbach before as he was the partner of our former doctor. The lab work is extensive and he takes the time with you to explain in detail the results. Our health and well being is very important and being in an… See more
