Dr. Jacqueline Blanchette grew up in southern New Mexico. Her love of animals and science drove her to pursue veterinary medicine.  She attended veterinary school at Colorado State University, and once in practice, Dr. Blanchette quickly developed a passion for orthopedic surgery. She has pursued training from many board-certified veterinary orthopedic surgeons over the years, and has mastered many advanced surgical techniques, such as fracture repair, tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO), CORA Based Leveling Osteotomy (CBLO), Medial Patellar Luxation, and toggle hip procedures. Although she is most passionate about surgery dedicated to cruciate rupture, meniscal disease, and musculoskeletal trauma, she performs a variety of orthopedic and soft tissue procedures. Dr. Blanchette strives to stay abreast of the latest technology and pursue additional training to provide her patients with the highest quality of care possible.  

When she is not working, Dr. Blanchette enjoys beekeeping, gardening, running, and hiking in our beautiful state with her husband and son.
