In Support of Dr. Steven Kottemann 
Several years ago when Dr Kottemann was on a real Medical leave, I selfishly wondered what would we do without him and his great compassion for his patients and his vast knowledge. Sure we would find another doctor, perhaps get the same great care, however, this was not the case. Dr Kottemann did return to his practice and life went on for us. Since that time, we have spent more time then we could have imagined in his office. He has referred us to several specialists when the illness was out of his realm of comfort. As often the case with specialists, we turned to Dr Kottemann to get our results and the real meaning behind them. Never once did he tell us to call the specialist, he just dug through all the information and gave it to us in terms we could understand. I would cope with losing him as a doctor if it was a legit reason such as his health but I hate seeing him treated in this manner. Dr Kottemann would never treat anyone with such disrespect as MMC in treating him. And I don’t believe MMC when they say they are only saving us – saving us from what? A dictatorship??
I so agree.
Dr.Kotteman is one the best! Just bring our DR. Kotteman Back This man has been our Dr. for 35 year. And has seen us through many things.
I don’t need a 15 min Dr, or a computer whiz… I need a doctor that cares about me and my family. I have that in Dr. Kottemann. When our daughter died in an accident many years ago, he came to our home and to the visitation and funeral. How many other dr would do that. I trust him completely. Charles and Gayla Smith family(patients of Dr Kottemann)
My family and I have been patients of Dr. Kottemann’s for over 15 years. He has been there for us with the chronic diseases of my two sons. We don’t mind waiting to see him if he goes over time with other patients, because we know that when it is our turn in the office he will address all of our concerns and answer all of our questions, just like he does for everyone else. Couldn’t care less about whether or not he can use their computer system either. People you can count on in life are worth fighting for. This isn’t over for his patients. Suzanne Tockey and family
Dr. Kottemann has been my family physician for over 30 years. He has seen me through pregnancy, adoption, pancreatitis, a ruptured disk, the death of my beloved sister and parents, the stresses of raising children and grandchildren, menopause, a variety of accidents, numerous sinus infections and the many varied maladies of getting older. Throughout all this he has been supportive and understanding. He has listened patiently (even when I was trying to convince him I had any disease I had read about in Good Housekeeping), answered all my questions (even when he was sure I did not have Lyme’s disease) and, most important to me, allowed me to be a part of my health care. I do not want any other doctor. I am proud to be a part of his fan club. Dr. Stevie rocks!!
You can’t say enough about the disappointment that is felt having this fine upstanding doctor put on medical leave. A sicking feeling swells up within me every time I think about it. My mother started me with Dr. K. when he first started in Lincoln, I was very young maybe 6 years old. He has been there through everything. I can not even think about how hard or if impossible it would be to replace him. I ECHO OTHERS, I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER DOCTOR! I want Dr. Kotteman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have had this wonderful doctor since 1985, I know this, because I had to see him early September,,,,way before all this broke loose….. I was just wondering how long we had been going to him…no reason, was just wondering….a woman came in , got on the computer, I casually asked, can you tell me, how long has he been my Dr. and her response was, the computer, only goes back a few years….Well, when Dr. Kottemann came in, I asked him the same question, he had my file in his hands, and I had my answer with the turn of a page…..so all of our old medical records will not be in the new system, ????? I want answers.
