Meet Our Team
Benjamin Pierce, D.O., M.S.
Dr. Pierce is a board-certified psychiatrist. He received his bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology from The University of Tennessee and his master’s degree in Biology from the University of St. Joseph. He earned his medical degree from Lincoln Memorial University’s DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine in Harrogate, TN in 2019 and completed his residency in general psychiatry at HCA’s LewisGale Medical Center in Roanoke, VA in 2023.
Dr. Pierce is originally from East Tennessee, but after completing his residency, he and his wife, our practice manager, made the move to the Williamsburg area in 2023. Since then, he’s been working as a full-time inpatient psychiatrist at a local hospital. Now, he’s excited to return to outpatient care with High Ground Psychiatry, where he brings a thoughtful and patient-centered approach to every session.
