Janet Blanchard, MD

"Janet Blanchard, MD is one of the few female internists in private practice serving the community in Albuquerque. 

I decided to practice a model of outpatient medicine that will allow me the time needed to provide the type of care I like to provide, and to have balance in my life. I was greatly influenced by, and have for a long time completely agreed with, a comment made to me by my own family practice provider of my youth to young adulthood, Dr. James Smrha, now deceased, from Cedar Rapids, IA, who told me, to be a great doctor, you’ve got to listen to your patients.

My reward from this profession comes from the relationships I form with my patients. I thrive on helping others. Over the years of practice, I’ve also come to see the power the mind has over a person’s bodily health. I very much resonate with the works of Drs. Deepak Chopra, Lisa Rankin, and Bruce Lipton. The education I’ve received from the internationally recognized founders of The Hypnotherapy Academy of America, Tim and Angela Simmerman Sierra, has had a profound impact on my understanding of my self, and has provided me another tool to help my patients.  A tool that helps patients access their own power of mind to aid them in improving their own health. I am a dedicated to providing excellent, comprehensive, and compassionate internal medical care to my patients."
