Dr. Blanchard was a great dentist I remember as a little kid he would always tease me about one thing or the other and he would always tell me how I needed to stop sucking my thumb well now I wish I had listened to him sooner because now I have an open bite and I am a tounge thruster.

Linda and family,

I am proud to have had the opportunity to know him and am sure he will be missed by anyone that had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
