Meet the Doctor

Dr. Julie Belanger

Dr. Julie Belanger grew up in New England, majoring in Biology and Spanish at Juniata College. Desiring to achieve fluency, she studied abroad in Ecuador. After graduating, she worked as an ophthalmic technician for a cataract surgeon for four years. Dr. Belanger during this time realized her love of the eye care field eventually graduating cum laude with a doctorate from The Ohio State University College of Optometry. She then pursued an optional, post-graduate, clinical residency at The University of California, Berkeley School of Optometry in Binocular Vision and Contact Lens.

As an optometrist, residency is optional - only 20% of graduates pursue it. Of the 400 residency positions offered, only 11 specialize in binocular or pediatric vision. Additionally, only Berkeley allows a doctor to combine two areas of interest. This advanced training gives Dr. Belanger’s patients hard-to-find expertise in children’s vision, including managing amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes) and double vision. It also let her develop advanced skills designing custom specialty gas permeable contact lenses for keratoconus and presbyopia (age-induced near vision loss) as well as fitting soft multifocal lenses. Residency also gave Dr. Belanger the experience needed to effectively engage patients as young as 9 months as well as those with disabilities.

Always knowing she wanted to be in private practice, Dr. Belanger began noticing where her favorite patients lived. After the third patient came from Clayton, she researched the community and officially opened the doors to InSight in 2011. She is the only residency-trained optometrist in Johnston County and the only bilingual optometrist.

Dr. Belanger is proud to call the TarHeel state home. She currently lives in Raleigh with her beloved dog Zack, a Jack Russell/Beagle mix. In her spare time, she enjoys art festivals, exercise, traveling and time with family.

Recommendation

After many years of putting off an eye exam, I saw Julie who I have known for over 2 years. Her exam and the follow up was, like her, personable, professional and thorough. However, what impressed me most was I had problem with the first set of new eye glass lenses after the exam. The problem was related to the lens manufacturing process. Julie did another exam to verify the results of the first exam, then ordered new lenses manufactured using a different process. This was done at no cost to me. She and her staff exemplify quality service and a client first philosophy!

Dr. Julie Belanger is a fantastic doctor!

April 2016, my teenage son was experiencing episodes of vision loss; this occurred several times before he lost his peripheral vision for little over a month This was a very, very scary time for us both. Confused and full of worry, we were referred to Dr. Julie Belanger at Insight Family & Pediatric Eye Care. After she examed my son; she suggested that his heart needed to be checked immediately and recommended that I take him over to the hospital emergency room; which I did. Only to be told that he is "too young & healthy" and "he wouldn't have any heart problems". For the next month, statements like these became very commonly heard from the medical professionals we saw. During this time, Dr. Belanger monitored him closely. She demanded that his heart be checked out and quickly spoke up when things weren't getting done by these other doctors. She expressed her concern for her patient and the importance of having these tests done. This was a huge deal because all other doctors did not want to believe it was his heart (Rex & Wake med ER doctors, primary care doctor, & cardiologist). There was a point that Dr. Belanger had gotten frustrated with the inattentiveness of nothing getting done and the dismissal of her patient and his health. She began closely communicating with my son's doctors so that the right tests were getting done; only because of her requests! However, my son's health continue to deteriorate, as we waited for these appointments and tests to be conducted. The outcome of these tests found that my son had a PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale). This meant there was a hole between the two upper chambers of his heart! By time, this was discovered my son had experienced several TIAs (mini strokes-along with the peripheral vision loss) all because the doctors (except Dr. Belanger) saw a young boy in front of them and assumed he had a healthy heart. Believe me, this was very frustrating because neither myself or son could get a reasonable explanation to why he was experiencing all these symptoms. Basically, turned away from two emergency rooms without the proper treatment my son deserved. If it wasn't for Dr. Belanger medical expertise and her endless efforts to get other doctors (even the cardiologist) to realize the importance to evaluate his heart, my son might not be here today! I honestly mean that too! May 2016, my son underwent surgery to close his PFO and he is now doing great! I am forever grateful for this wonderful doctor. She was a true blessing to us. Dr. Belanger comes highly recommended from both myself, and son. She stands by her patients and their need's, even when it means advocating for their needs to other doctors/specialists. She's absolutely amazing! Heather Jack (1.13.2017)

Response from the Owner
Thank you so much Mrs. Jack. This was a rare presentation and it just warms my heart that your son is, literally, alive and well!!! Thank you for trusting me, not giving up and your sweet, heart-felt review. <3 It was so good to see him again.

The staff at InSight has been both competent and friendly; Dr Belanger has been very thorough, answering questions, offering an alternative to my vision needs that I hadn't considered. :) Jeff Postle November 2016

Response from the Owner
Thank you Mr. Postle for taking the time to post your review! I appreciate you returning and I look forward to providing great care in the future. Please let a friend know about us! Sincerely, Dr. Belanger.

Dr. Belanger has been my sole source for eye care a couple years now. She is friendly and professional and has answered any question I may have about what is going on with my aged eyesight. I have diabetes and HBP, Glaucoma and trifocals, and she keeps up with all that, keeps my primary physician informed, and works well with my pharmacy. Her staff are friendly and courteous. The equipment is up to current technical levels expected and she is very patient with my strong blink reflex. Highly recommended. Gorrell Thompson (February 2016)

Response from the Owner
Thank you Mr. Thompson for such a wonderful review! I greatly appreciate your confidence on my care. I look forward to protecting your sight for years to come! Sincerely, Dr. Belanger

Excellent first time visit.. I just moved to Clayton and needed to find a new eye doctor. Over the years I have had multiple medical issues with my eyes. Dr. Belanger nailed my eye history without seeing my records. At that moment, I knew I was in the right place and referred my husband.

Great experience! We didn't wait at all for our appointments. The staff was friendly and went the extra mile. The dr was professional and fun and really engaged my boys - ages 12 & 18. My one son received contacts and the Dr instantly understood who he was as a person and recommended a product that met his needs - and it was a less expensive options. When it came time to pick out frames, the doctor actually worked with us helping to make the selection. I've never had an eye doc do that before. Personal, expert care. We were impressed! Dean P.

Very happy with the service my family receives at InSight. The first thing that impressed me was when I took my very chatty energetic 5 year old son to see Dr. Belanger. He can be quite a handful and she was able to make him feel comfortable, kept him focused, and kept him giggling the whole time. She is very knowledgable in the field as well and was able to identify a previous ailment that left scarring inside my eyes without having to send me to a specialist and end up costing me more money. Br Belanger now treats my entire family and I would recommend InSight to anyone! Ava S. (1.16.2015)

I very much enjoyed my visit at Insight in Clayton! They were able to get me in on short notice and there was no wait upon arrival. Everyone wasfriendly and the doctor was very thorough! The only thing that upset me was the amount owed. I have been going regularly to the Optometrist since age 4 and have never paid anything near this much out of pocket for a routine exam/CL check. Everything was billed medically so it was much more expensive. This would have been nice to know at the beginning of the appointment so that I wasn't faced with a bill twice what I expected. Otherwise, however, I was very pleased! Michelle M. (1.8.2015)

Dr. Belanger was amazing with my 4yr old daughter. My daughter had an eye injury a few years ago and eye exams have never been easy. But Dr Belanger was able to capture my daughters attention and keep her calm with her soft soothing voice and distraction techniques. This was my daughters most thorough eye exam ever. I was so impressed I scheduled an appointment for myself and I have been raving about her to anyone I know with children.

I went to InSight for my first eye exam in 4 years. A few years ago I tried contact lenses but they kept popping out. I've worn glasses for about 12 years and my eyes have gotten progressively worse but I wanted to try contact lenses again. Dr. Julie was really nice and thorough. During my exam she fitted me for contacts, put them in herself, and then taught me how to do it. She examined my eyes again ensuring the fit and prescription were perfect, she took her time making me feel not rushed, which is something no optometrist has ever done for me. The contacts stayed in and seeing without glasses on was awesome! The doctor was knowledgeable and communicated with me, letting me know what she was doing, why she was doing it, and what she learned from doing it. In the end, I walked out confident that I had healthy eyes, a new prescription, and contacts that would help me see more clearly. Tom P. (10.28.2014)

I have had issues with receiving my son's glasses for 2 years in a row. My understanding was that an insurance issue was to blame, but none of this was communicated to us at any point. We waiting months after seeing the doctor, and no updates, emails, or phone calls. The diagnosis was excellent, the doctor is very knowledgeable, however whomever handles the paperwork/insurance claims should be able to communicate with the patients better, especially when there are so many ways to connect. Unfortunately, we will not be returning and have spread the word to others about our experiences BOTH times. Terris H. (10.10.2014)

I am 32 years old and this was my first eye exam ever...if you don't count the letter charts in elementary school. Dr. Belanger was incredible. She explained everything as we went through all the tests. She was very patient with me as I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing during many of the procedures. It was an absolutely fantastic experience. Even the receptionist was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Belanger and Insight Family and Pediatric Eye Care. Mitchell F. (9.24.2014)

and Dr. Belanger were very understanding and helpful throughout my visit, both before and upon arrival. I rescheduled my appointment originally from 10 am to 3 pm in the afternoon. Then when I realized I was running late due to a store call in Greenville I was able to call to let them know and Melissa held my appointment for me regardless of my being 20 minutes late. I love the fact that they were so understanding and it was realized that i wasn't intentionally behind. I felt very badly that I was late, especially after I found out that Dr Belanger was running behind for the delay. I spoke with her directly about that fact that I felt I was to blame and she seemed very unconcerned and more so about making sure my visit went smoothly. Dr. Belanger is a true professional and was able to help put me at ease about my experience and even offered advice while I was having to choose my first pair of glasses. Thank you for your help!

I've had three of my children's eyes evaluated so far and I ADORE Dr Belanger! One of my children has special needs and requires patience and coaxing for cooperation, and where most doctors have a hard time making her comfortable, Dr Julie just gave my daughter time (and plenty of smiles and encouragement) and my special girls' anxiety was greatly reduced! It's amazing what a difference a doctor can make when they have a mind to treat everyone in your family as they would one of their own. I'm grateful and we are more than happy to be her patients.

I visited InSight Family and Pediatric Eye Care today as somewhat a walk-in with concerns about my left eye.

DR. J., Made me at ease and comfortable.,she is now my eye doctor.When my husband need's new glasses he will also come to DR. J. Diane.. Diane D. (12.31.2012)

---

The care we received was adequate. I was a surprised that the only person working in the practice was the optician. She handled the front desk as well as all of the testing in the exam room. I had hold my young child down myself while she placed the drops, and serve as her assistant while she performed various tests. I'm not sure if this is the norm or if I was pulled in because she had no assistants. Perhaps she was just in a transition phase between staff members, but it was nothing I had experienced before.

While I can speak to Dr. Belanger's extensive knowledge & experience in eye care, she certainly does not seem to interact well with her staff. Within one year, she has lost three office assistants in her Clayton location. A physician is only as good as their help..Anonymous (12.10.2012)

I am so glad I stopped by there! I was in need of an after hour eye doc badly! Dr Julie greeted me in the lobby about 10 min til close. Saw my eye & didnt hesitate to work me in. Im greatful I found such a great facility & compassionate Dr. I had been online all day trying to find someone in Wake or Johnston Co to help. Dr Julie is the best! I live in the North Hills area in Raleigh but will not hesitate to make the drive to keep her as my eye dr!!! Very very resonable rates also!! Angela H. (10.5.2012)

We had a wonderful experience taking our child to Dr. Belanger. We truly enjoyed the experience and meeting Dr. Belanger. She was very friendly, thorough, and personable. Our daughter felt completely comfortable and safe and told us she enjoyed her visit to the eye doctor. The receptionist was also very friendly and helpful. There is a wide range of frames to choose from, including: baby,children's, women's and men's frames. The office is child friendly and includes a play nook for small children. We enjoyed our experience so much that my husband and I were seen as walk-ins at our daughter's appointment. We were very appreciative of Dr. Belanger seeing our whole family. We were so pleased with our experience and highly recommend Dr. Belanger to anyone needing an eye doctor. Faith S. (9.30.2012)

My decision to switch to Dr. Belanger proved to be a smart one. She and her assistant, Alex, got me in quickly, gave me a quick tour of their state of the art capabilities, then took all the time necessary to give me a thorough exam and answer my questions. I took advantage of their $50 discount on a nice pair of polarized sunglasses. Love the convenient location she chose. Anonymous (8.18.2012)

Dr. Belanger spent additional time performing her exam. She was extremely thorough. When I had difficulty with a particular screen, she changed to another making my prescription more accurate.
