Dr. Bottenberg

Meet B Bottenberg, DO, FNLA


As a farm kid growing up in a small community, I developed a profound appreciation for life which lead me to medical school. It is truly an honor and privilege to work as a physician. Although I do enjoy the challenges of helping people overcome their illnesses, I find the most satisfaction working with my patients to create and maintain healthy lifestyles; which allows them to live life to the fullest. The MDVIP practice model allows me the time to practice medicine the way I was trained and always thought it should be done.

With nearly 25 years of practicing in this community, I have developed relationships with local specialists to help me care for patients with difficult or special needs. I am affiliated with the Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Dr. Bottenberg encourages me to contact him and share all my questions. He is open to demonstrating the research behind his practice suggestions and helps me evaluate the match with my personal situation. He listens to my experience and values my input. I have been diabetic for 14 years and for the first time ever have experienced normal glucose levels. Dr. Bottenberg offered education, support and encouragement in making lifestyle changes in addition to the usual medication and monitoring. Other providers have tried to motivate me by telling me everything that I was doing wrong. Dr. B. emphasizes what's working and helps plan jointly on how things can be even better.

Dr. "B" is my hero. Not only does he take wonderful care of me, anticipating potential problems and being on the offensive with my care, but he has displayed extraordinary patience with my husband's multiple illnesses. His straightforward ways pull no punches, to be sure, and I appreciate that. I wish he could clone himself to help others that I come in contact with. Can't say enough about him and his staff. We have been with him for more than 12 years, and hope we don't ever have to go elsewhere! He is a great example of a D. O. as opposed to an M.D.

Dr B had been our family Dr for about 20 years and always made it his purpose to find out exactly what was wrong and believe me my family always challenged his abilities and he always came through . When he went to MD VIP we were not able to remain patients, but he always stayed interested in our family . Most recently he made a significant donation to our family to support our daughter who has been selected to the first USpara Women's National Soccer team playing in the first world cup of its kind this month in Salou Spain this month
Thank you Dr B

Dr. B was my internal medicine preceptor during my clinical practicum as a physician assistant student, and I can attest that he was the best mentor I had out of all of them. Like someone else said, he really knows his stuff - I can still remember quite vividly how competently and wisely he practiced the art of medicine while never forgetting to remember the human side of the patient as well. Even though I'm not practicing myself today, I am glad I got the chance to see a master of the trade.

Dr. "B" is our go-to coordinator of all physicians we see, and provides a "no nonsense" approach to our overall health concerns. He cares like a trusted family member, but with the medical knowledge behind his recommendations. He is always available, and his staff care just as much. We cant say enough about the relationship we have with him for the last 15 years and counting!

Dr. B. Bottenberg is a caring physician who makes it a priority to coordinate my care. I have called him outside of office hours and he has helped me determine when an issue can wait or if I truly need emergency services which nearly paid for my annual fee alone. I know I will be seen when I need it and he has filled the gap when my specialty physician was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital herself and unavailable. He inspires me to care for myself.

Dr Bottonberg is a rare physician that really seems to care about his patients. I truly believe he wants me to live a Happy & Health life. He is very knowledgeable and a great problem solver. He speaks straight about the pros and cons of my conditions, offers sound advice and even more importantly, listens to what I have to say. His staff is always helpful, curtiouse and has on more than one occasion gone beyond my expectations.

Dr. B and his staff treat my wife and myself with professional, friendly service any time when in need. The last two years have been challenging to our health needs. Dr. B's practice helped me find early signs of cancer. After surgery was recommended and completed, I was found cancer free. I would (and have) recommend Dr. B to others.
