A message from Dr. David and Dr. Sally Hartenstein, May
2026
Dear Patients and Friends,
After 43 wonderful years of serving Hampton and the seacoast community,
the time has come for us to share some news. We have officially retired from
our practice, Hampton Eyecare Associates, as of May 1, 2026.
Many of our loyal patients have been with us since we opened our first office
in Hampton, as Drs. Hartenstein and Hartenstein in 1983. We merged our
practice with Dr. Raymond Alie in 1986 to form Hampton Eyecare Associates.
We have cherished the opportunity to watch your families grow and to be
your partners in eye care. You have also watched as our own family grew
and evolved over the years, and it is with utmost pride and pleasure that we
welcomed our son Dr. Craig and his future wife Dr. Presley into our practice in
2017.
The new owners, Drs. Craig and Presley, share our deep commitment to
competent and friendly patient care. We are grateful to be able to leave our
patients in such capable, caring hands. You can expect the same high-
quality service from our doctors and staff which you’ve come to know over
the past four decades.
Your records will remain securely at this location, and all upcoming
appointments will proceed as scheduled. If you have any questions, please
contact the office at 603-926-5471.
Thank you again for 43 rewarding and unforgettable years. We look forward
to seeing you around town. We plan on staying in the area to fully enjoy
time with our 4 grandchildren, play some golf, do some gardening, and still
continue to decorate the office (Dr. Sally’s specialty!)
With gratitude and best wishes,
Dr. David and Dr. Sally Hartenstein
*We invite you to stop by the office on Friday, May 15 th ,
between 2 and 5:30 pm if you would like to pass along
some good wishes and say goodbye to Drs. David and
Sally. And, also, they would love to introduce you to the
next generation and new practice owners, Drs. Craig and
Presley, if you have not yet met. We wish them many
more decades of serving our seacoast patients and
friends.
