EXETER, NH, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Eyesight Ophthalmic Services, Northern New England’s leading provider of eye care for adults and children, is pleased to announce that Qingjie Wang, MD, PhD, a fellowship-trained vitreoretinal specialist, will join the practice in August.

Dr. Wang brings an exceptional combination of clinical expertise and scientific research to their growing retina program. He is currently completing a vitreoretinal fellowship at the University of Rochester’s Flaum Eye Institute and holds an unrestricted medical license in New York.

As a vitreoretinal specialist, Dr. Wang will diagnose and treat the full range of retinal diseases and disorders, from common age-related conditions to urgent, sight-threatening emergencies. His areas of focus include retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal tears, retinal vascular conditions, and macular swelling, complementing the comprehensive retina care Eyesight Ophthalmic Services offers close to home.

Dr. Wang earned his medical degree from Stony Brook School of Medicine and his PhD in Neuropharmacology and Neuroscience from Albany Medical College, where he was recognized with the Dean’s Certificate for Excellence in Research. His scientific career spans leading institutions, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Neural Stem Cell Institute, and Stony Brook Hospital, with research focused on retinal degeneration, stem cell therapies, and iPSC modeling of ocular disease. He has authored nine peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Cell Stem Cell, PNAS, and Nature Cell Biology, and has presented his work at major international conferences.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Wang to our team,” said N. Timothy Peters, M.D., F.A.C.S., Managing Partner of Eyesight Ophthalmic Services. “He brings the rare combination of advanced surgical training and a deep research background in retinal disease, and that depth directly benefits our patients. Adding a specialist of his caliber strengthens our retina program and reinforces our commitment to delivering the finest specialty care right here in Northern New England.”

A bilingual clinician fluent in both English and Mandarin, Dr. Wang is able to provide attentive, personalized care to a broad and diverse patient community.

“I’m excited to join Eyesight Ophthalmic Services and to care for patients throughout this community,” said Dr. Wang. “Many retinal conditions can be managed effectively when they’re caught early, and my goal is to bring both the latest treatment options and a thoughtful, personal approach to every patient I see. I look forward to working alongside this exceptional team.”
