About 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.

What our members are saying

Before MDVIP Dr Bottenberg was a VERY busy man; my office visits were necessarily brief because of his increasing patient load. My FIRST visit after MDVIP was for over 30 minutes as he solicited and I gave him valuable background on my permanently damaged left lung. He made no promises but committed to helping me cope with my lung condition and staying healthy. Another feature of his revised…

Dr. Bottenberg is a caring physician who actually talks with you. He listens and actually makes eye contact, not sitting at a computer entering EMR like my last physician who maybe, truly maybe, spent 5 minutes in the room, on the computer.
He'll ask how are you when he enters the room and you can respond with something ridiculous and he'll say Good. Dr. Bottenberg is a breath of…

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.
