We would like to congratulate our colleague, Dr. Brian Klinger, on his retirement.  He has been such a valuable part of our team here at Harbor Eyecare Center and he will be dearly missed.  We anticipate years of valued friendship. 

We would like to make the transition of your care to another of our Doctors of Optometry here smooth and comfortable.  At your last eye examination you were pre-appointed for your next eye examination with Dr. Klinger.  As he retires we would like to introduce you to our new colleague, Dr. James Belanger.

Dr. Jamie grew up in Milan, NH located north of the White Mountains, and attended the University of New Hampshire in Durham.  He earned his Bachelor of Science, in Mechanical Engineering in May of 1994 and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, in May of 2001.  He then worked in research and development as a project engineer for nine years and has been granted 15 US patents.  Dr. Jamie attended the New England College of Optometry and earned his Doctor of Optometry degree in 2007.  He completed a residency program in ocular disease and primary eye care at the Veterans Administration Health Center in Boston, Massachusetts from 2007 to 2008.  In 2011 he was awarded fellowship status in the American Academy of Optometry.  Dr. Jamie is serving as the 2012 vice president of the New Hampshire Optometric Association.

Dr. Jamie enjoys spending time with his wife of 5 years, Heather, and is very proud of their one year old son, Austin.  In his personal time he enjoys scuba diving, is a former snowboard instructor, and has a private pilot license of single engine airplanes. He has called the Portsmouth area his home for more than twenty years and is excited to join Harbor Eyecare Center as we are to welcome him to our team.
