Family Medicine
About
Dr. Brian Pierce, a graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy, was stationed in Maine at Bath Iron Works. He completed his pre‑medical studies at the University of Southern Maine and earned his MD from Dartmouth Medical School on an Air Force scholarship, followed by family‑medicine training at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. In the Air Force he practiced inpatient and outpatient family medicine at Misawa Air Base in Japan and Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. After leaving the service he moved to Camden, Maine in 2002, joined an independent family‑medicine and psychiatry practice, and later owned Midcoast Medicine for twelve years, also serving as a part‑time hospitalist.
In 2014 Dr. Pierce founded Megunticook Medicine, a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice, to provide patients with transparent, membership‑based primary care without insurance interference. He emphasizes same‑day access, longer appointments, and a focus on building lasting doctor‑patient relationships. His DPC philosophy centers on simplicity, affordability, and personalized care, allowing him to spend more time with each patient and integrate point‑of‑care ultrasound and dermoscopy into routine visits.
