Dr. Janet Blanchard, MD

Dr. Janet Blanchard has a talent for surgery and a passion for people.

Though she began in medical school studying forensic pathology, as soon as she went through a surgical rotation, she knew this was her path. She completed two residencies: general surgery and plastic surgery.

Thirty years later, she’s board certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgery and has worked in all the major health systems in the Cleveland, Ohio, area, as well as founded her own Surgery Center in Willoughby Hills.



She’s enjoys volunteerism, working with overseas medical missions, the American Red Cross, and Junior Service League. Dr. Blanchard has a vibrant life outside of the operating room, from running marathons to going scuba diving, playing pickleball and golf. As an avid boater, she likes to give back to the local boating community, serving as the first female Commodore of Mentor Harbor Yacht Club.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Tomorrow, February 5, 1988, marks the 36th-anniversary date that the van hit my face. A day I have often described as the day God saved me from death. We both described my situation as miraculous. I was grateful that I was rushed into your skilled hands. You performed the reconstruction on my face. You successfully stitched 480 micro stitches around my eye, not leaving a trace of a scar. You successfully built a plastic cheekbone and eye sockets to cradle my fully functioning eye. There isn't a day that passes that I don’t think about how fortunate I am that you were the surgeon at the time. I am thankful I was able to lead an everyday life without disfiguration. 

I pray you are happy, healthy, prosperous, and filled with joy, knowing you saved my life by making me look like the self God intended me to be. 

Peace, 
Ann
