About Joseph A. Marotta, MD

The goal of my internal medicine practice is to offer individualized service to my patients. I believe the MDVIP practice model revives and helps to optimize the doctor-patient relationship because I have more time to spend with patients. I can be your personal physician who can respond promptly to a medical need after hours or see you the same or next day. I believe in being reachable when patients need me.

After 30 years of private practice, I found the focus of the medical field has changed from one of not only helping address disease when it occurs but supporting patients as they work toward preventing the preventable. As a primary care physician in the downtown area of San Antonio, Texas, my goal is to provide more personalized care. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests in the Wellness Program. My areas of special interest include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and sleep-wake cycle issues. I support patients as they pursue living a longer and higher quality life.

My practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. I am affiliated with Methodist Hospital Metropolitan, so if my patient is admitted, I may serve as their admitting physician and hospitalist. I am fluent in Spanish and mostly fluent in Italian.

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.
