Comprehensive Adult Primary Care

At Preferred Medical Group, we provide trusted Adult Primary Care for patients at every stage of adulthood — from young adults to seniors. We focus on prevention, early diagnosis, chronic disease management, and long-term wellness so you can feel your best at every age.

Primary care is the foundation of staying healthy throughout life. Whether you need an annual wellness exam, help managing an ongoing condition, or care when you are not feeling well, our team is here to provide thoughtful, accessible, and personalized medical care.

Our adult primary care providers help patients prevent illness, detect problems early, and manage a wide range of health concerns. We believe good care starts with listening, understanding your goals, and creating a plan that fits your life.

Prescription Refills

PMG requires you to bring medication bottles to every appointment. In case a patient does not bring the medication bottles to a visit, the visit may need to be cancelled or rescheduled.

It is the patient's responsibility to ask for refills during office visits. Refill requests sent over the phone are not accepted unless it is an emergency, and phone refill requests are approved at the provider's discretion.

Dr. Ritu Chandra

Welcome from the Founder

Dr. Ritu Chandra, MD, FAAP

Welcome! I'm Dr. Chandra, a pediatrician and the founder of Preferred Medical Group. My family and I are proud to call Alabama home, and I've had the privilege of caring for this community since 2007.

As a pediatrician, I've always been passionate about providing the best care for children, but I recognized the need for both primary care and mental health services, which is why I've made it a priority to offer these services alongside pediatric care in my practice. It's important to me that every family has access to comprehensive care in one place, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to support the health and well-being of our community.

It's truly an honor to be trusted with your family's health, and I'm grateful to serve this community with the love and care that it deserves. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives — I look forward to supporting you and your family for many years to come.
