Dr. Janer was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and moved to Puerto Rico at the age of 4. She graduated from high school in Puerto Rico, and then went on to graduate from Georgetown University in 1982, with a degree in Biology. Dr. Janer has a love for science. After graduating from college, she was involved in research for 3 years before attending and graduating from The University of Texas School of Dentistry, in 1989. Dr. Janer went on to complete a one-year General Dentistry Residency at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, where she learned how to treat complex dental patients and patients who are medically compromised.
Serendipity placed Dr. Janer under the tutelage of Dr. Jackie Duke, where Dr. Janer was a research assistant in her lab. Dr. Duke was awarded a grant to perform research for NASA. Dr. Janer was involved in studying and researching bone dissection with the team working on the Space Lab-3 Flight Sample Utilization Program at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was Dr. Duke who encouraged Dr. Janer to go to dental school, and we are so glad she did.
Dr. Janer is a “forever student.” There is nothing she sees more exciting than learning. She loves reading and studying and she was always prepared for her classes. So much so, that she graduated first in her dental school class, she was inducted into the Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon and she received many awards.
Dr. Janer practices General Dentistry, because she believes in treating the entire patient. She is committed to her patients 100%, and she always puts her patients first. Dr. Janer listens to her patients and believes strongly in education, so her patients can make informed decisions regarding their treatment. Dr. Janer is a cheerleader for her patients. She encourages and supports her patients on their way to excellent oral health and attaining beautiful smiles. She belongs to organizations that support her on-going desire to learn.
Dr. Janer is married to Javier Janer and together they have 3 children. Dr. Pablo Janer practices with Dr. Janer at Richmond Landing Family Dentistry. This has been a life-long dream of hers, that she would be able to practice along side one of her children.
Gabriel, her middle son, graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, and he is employed by Dow Chemical in Lake Jackson. He is married to Meghan Kelley, who also graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Finance and Spanish.
Their youngest son Javier, is attending Washington University in St. Louis, pursuing a double major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Spanish. Javier, also a “forever student,” like the rest of the family hopes to pursue Veterinary Medicine.
Dr. Janer loves to travel and learn about different cultures in our world. This also includes tasting food from other cultures, of course! She loves reading, scuba diving and watching Notre Dame football. Dr. Janer is a people person like no other. She is friendly, kind, humble and is so easy to talk to. Each of her patients are treated individually with respect and compassion.
