Brian R Pierce, MD

Brian Pierce, a graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy, was stationed in Maine at Bath Iron Works.  While there, he completed his premedical studies at the University of Southern Maine and then attended Dartmouth Medical School on an Air Force scholarship and training in family medicine at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland.  

In the Air Force, he practiced inpatient and outpatient family medicine at Misawa Air Base, Japan and Dover Air Force Base, Delaware.  In 2002, Dr. Pierce and his family moved to Camden, Maine, where he joined an independent family medicine and psychiatry practice.  For twelve years, Dr. Pierce was an owner of Midcoast Medicine.  During this time, Midcoast Medicine was voted "Best of the Best" Medical Practice for 8 years running in the Knox Village Soup readers' poll.

Dr Pierce had also been a part-time hospitalist for Midcoast Medicine, Penobscot Bay Medicine Center and Midcoast Hospital.

Since opening his Direct Primary Care practice, Dr Pierce has added point of care ultrasound (POCUS), dermoscopy and addiction treatment to our services.

Our state medical society, the Maine Medical Association, selected Dr Pierce as their president in 2015 and he chairs their independent practice group. He also was one of the founders of the New England Direct Primary Care Alliance.

Megunticook Medicine has hosted first and second year medical students from the Tufts Medical School Maine Track for years and now hosts two and four week electives to train family medicine resident physicians as part of MERGE, the Maine Rural Graduate Medical Education Collaborative.

After volunteering at the Knox County Health Clinic for years, we now contribute memberships in this practice for use by Knox Clinic patients as well as Maine Health’s CarePartners program.

Dr. Pierce lives in Union with his wife Andrea. In their spare time, they keep busy with their four adult children and their 9 month old poodle, Moxie. He also enjoys kayaking and fly fishing.
