Telehealth update:
On December 20, 2024, Congress passed a funding package to keep the government open until late March 2025, and that bill did include a provision to extend the current telehealth flexibilities until March 31, 2025. This means that all services that could be provided via telehealth subsequent to the public health emergency can still be provided in that manner.
If your insurance allows and you need to convert your appointment to telemedicine, please contact our office at 702-877-1887.

Bette Schnur
Practice Manager
Bette Schnur joined Kidney Specialists of Southern Nevada in March of 1995. Bette has lived in Las Vegas since 1966. She completed her schooling from Bishop Gorman High School and UC Berkeley.
Bette is interested in traveling, Hawaiian culture, and history. She enjoys cross stitch and any activity that involves water.
If you were to describe yourself in three words, what would they be and why?
The three words I would use to describe myself are: Honest, Loyal, and Fair. I believe in being truthful and transparent in all aspects of life, staying committed to those I care about, and treating everyone with fairness and respect. These values guide me in my personal and professional relationships.
What are your hobbies?
One of my hobbies is cross-stitching. I have been doing it since college, and it has become a great way for me to relax.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
If I could have a superpower, it would be precognition. Besides the obvious advantages of foreseeing events and making better decisions, it would be especially useful in interviewing. Imagine knowing in advance if a candidate truly fits the role, saving time and ensuring the best hire.
What’s something you’re passionate about?
I am passionate about my family & KSOSN.
My family is my foundation, providing love, support, and motivation in everything I do. At the same time, I take pride in my work, striving to make a meaningful impact and always giving my best. Balancing both is important to me, as they are the driving forces behind my dedication and the success of both. Thirty years is a long time filled with growth, achievements, and meaningful moments from witnessing KSOSN’s expansion to building a strong family life. When I started NEA (Nephrology & Endocrine Assoc) 30 years ago, there were 6 nephrologists and 3 endocrinologists. Now KSOSN has 36 physicians and 25 nurse practitioners, and we continue to hire more of both. Last October, I celebrated my 26th wedding anniversary and our daughter is getting married this June. I look forward to many more great memories.
For the most part, kidney disease is asymptomatic
unless very advanced. A simple lab test can detect
kidney disease.
Words of Encouragment
Within every kidney patient lies the strength to conquer any obstacle life throws their way. Keep going!
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, kidney patients rise above adversity and soar.
Every dialysis session is a testament to your unwavering commitment to your health and well-being. Your determination is awe-inspiring.
