Preferred Medical Group Fort Mitchell has been in operation since 2013. We offer compassionate, convenient care for children, adults, and families.
Located close to the back gate of Fort Benning, our Fort Mitchell office is honored to care for military families and the broader community alike.
We offer Pediatrics, Adult Primary Care, Counseling, Psychiatry, and Speech Therapy — making comprehensive healthcare easy to access close to home.
Through community partnerships with Russell County Schools and the Fort Mitchell Volunteer Fire Department, and by spearheading the COVID vaccination effort deep into the community, we have remained committed to supporting the health and well-being of Fort Mitchell families.
Our Fort Mitchell location offers a full range of primary and behavioral health services for the whole family.
Expert care for children from newborns to teens, including wellness visits, sick visits, immunizations, and preventive care.
Preventive services, chronic disease management, annual wellness visits, and ongoing support for lifelong health.

Supporting growth, development, and a happy, active childhood for every child in our community.
At Preferred Medical Group Fort Mitchell, we know that children's health is about more than routine check-ups — it's about supporting growth, development, and a happy, active childhood. Our pediatric services include wellness exams, immunizations, developmental screenings, diagnosis and management of learning problems, behavior issues, ADHD, and personalized guidance for parents.
We also help families discover and connect with local kids' activities in Fort Mitchell, including youth sports leagues, arts and music programs, educational camps, and community events. By combining expert pediatric care with knowledge of Fort Mitchell's resources, we empower children to grow healthy, confident, and socially engaged.

Welcome from the Founder
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.
