About
Dr. Mota-Martinez works to make visits feel structured and respectful of your time. He typically starts by understanding what brought you in and what you have already tried. From there, he reviews relevant history and helps you think through options that fit your goals and comfort level.
His training in osteopathic medicine supports a broad view of health. That often means looking at sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, and work or family demands alongside symptoms. If you are unsure what to prioritize, you can bring your top concerns and he can help organize them into a plan.
Outside of clinical work, he enjoys time with his family and walks in nature. Many patients appreciate that steady, grounded perspective during a visit.
Education & Training
Samuel Mota-Martinez earned a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine. He then completed a Family Medicine Residency at the Texas Institute of Graduate Medical Education and Research in San Antonio, TX.
That background supports a wide scope of family medicine care, from preventive planning to problem-focused visits. It also helps when coordinating follow-up steps after a video visit, such as tracking symptoms, reviewing home readings, or planning a timeline for reassessment.
Care Areas
His clinical focus covers both everyday primary care needs and specific concerns that come up between routine check-ins. If you are deciding whether a virtual visit is a good fit, it can help to share what you want to accomplish by the end of the conversation.
- Primary care topics and ongoing health planning
- Acute visits for new symptoms or short-term concerns
- Annual wellness exams and preventive discussions
- Mental health care support and check-ins
- Weight loss management conversations
- Prescription refill appointments when clinically appropriate

What to Expect in a Telehealth Visit
A virtual visit with Dr. Mota-Martinez is designed to be straightforward. You can expect questions about your current symptoms, how long they have been present, and what makes them better or worse. He may also ask about past medical history, current medications, allergies, and any recent measurements you have (such as weight or blood pressure).
Visits also create space for prevention and long-term planning. If you want to use the time for an annual wellness discussion, it helps to bring up family history, screening questions, and lifestyle goals early in the visit. For mental health concerns, you can share what you are experiencing, how it affects sleep and work, and what support you have tried so far.
Medispress telehealth visits use a simple, flat-fee format.
At the end of the visit, you should leave with a clear summary of the assessment and reasonable next steps. That may include self-monitoring guidance, a plan for follow-up, or a discussion of whether an in-person exam or testing would be more appropriate for your situation. If you have paperwork needs for work or school, mention them at the start so the visit stays on track.
How to Prepare
A few minutes of prep can make your video visit more productive. Focus on information that helps clarify what is happening and what has changed.
- Choose a quiet, private space with reliable internet and good lighting.
- Test your camera and microphone before you join the visit.
- Write a short timeline of symptoms, including start date and patterns.
- Have a current medication list ready, including supplements.
- Bring recent home readings if you track them (weight, blood pressure, glucose).
- List 2–3 questions you want answered before the visit ends.
- If relevant, take clear photos ahead of time (for example, skin changes).
If your concern feels urgent or involves severe symptoms, consider whether in-person emergency care is the safer option for immediate evaluation.
