Meet Dr. Janell Sosa

Family Physician
New Braunfels Clinic

Dr. Janell Sosa is a Board Certified Family Physician who has been practicing in New Braunfels since 2018. She was born and raised in Fredericksburg, then received her bachelor’s degree in biology from Texas State University. It was at Texas State that she met her husband, Shane, whom she married in 2012.

Dr. Sosa first learned about Direct Primary Care in her fourth year of medical school and knew it was ultimately how she wanted to practice medicine. After completing residency at The University of Oklahoma, the pressure to start paying back those crushing student loans was high. She decided to put off the dream of practicing DPC for a few years for what she thought was a more “stable” career move. After a few years, however, it became clear that the mainstream model for practicing primary care was just not how she wanted to spend her career. She found that the traditional model of fifteen minute visits, seeing 18-24 patients per day, was just not allowing her to deliver the high quality personalized care that she knew her patients deserved. It was then that she reached out to the wonderful team at DirectMed DPC and together they found a way to make her dream from so many years ago into a reality.

Dr. Sosa enjoys getting to know her patients as individuals, and becoming part of their path to healthier lives. She takes care of people of all ages, from newborns on up. In addition to the standard scope of Family Medicine practice, Dr. Sosa also has interest and experience in women’s health, common mental health issues and she also performs a range of small procedures in the office (laceration repairs, skin biopsies, mole removal, etc).

Outside the office, Dr. Sosa likes spending time outdoors with her husband and their two sons Noah and Owen. As a family they love spending time at the river, going on hiking trails, and spending time with extended family who also reside in New Braunfels.
