Dr. Blanchard is from Longview, Texas and loved every minute of growing up in East Texas. Her educational journey included a business degree from UT Austin, graduating at the top of her dental school class at Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry, and a 2 year residency in orthodontics from LSU in New Orleans. Finally, after practicing orthodontics in Oklahoma while her husband finished his schooling, she was able to move with her family back to East Texas in 2021. She and her husband Neil have 3 beautiful children - daughter Blaine and sons Luke and Noah.
