The opportunity to continue as his patient in this special practice has has been excellent to guide me through some challenging issues in recent times.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
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
Pat and I feel so much confidence in working with you. I cannot imagine going to anyone else. You and your staff are awesome!

Dr. Breytenbach's attention to my healthy status has been noteworthy to many, even as I'm lucky to have had and continue to have very good health. I'm a farmer in the wine country of California and in a preventative measure Dr Breytenbach suggested a reduction of wine consumption with a reasonable and creative approach. Community friends and family now known the value of the… See more
There is a black and white contrast between Dr. Bretenbach and other physicians that I have had over many decades. I live in remote location and the ability to contact him by text messaging or telephone and get a quick response is therapeutic in itself. He responds well within an hour, and surprisingly, sometimes within minutes to my call - even after hours. Office visits are complete and… See more
I have been under Dr Breytenbachs care for over 20 years. He also was the primary physician for my son who required complicated medical coordination with other specialty doctors and hospitals. I truly feel he believes medicine is a calling and entered into this field to serve and succor his fellow man. He cares, he does not rush, he listens, he provokes important discussions and promotes goal… See more
Dr B is a great doctor. we feel as if he is a member of our family. Thanks for caring for us, Raymond and Betty T.
I have most appreciated Dr. Breytenbachs immediate availability to hear my concerns and then discuss whether to use various treatment options or use procedures to allow the body to heal itself.
He also is very willing to recommend a specialist if he feels one might be necessary to provide the best possible health care advice.

Thank you for always being there for us, and having Kim and your crew.
