About PreferredMD

Using technology for better health care

PreferredMD’s mission

Founded by Biraj Patel MD, PreferredMD was born out of a need for uncompromised health care coupled with a passion for technology. Our goal is to use the latest tech developments to simplify the inherent complexities of the medical care process.

So that everyone involved – the physician, the facility, and the patient – has the right tools to connect with each other. And so that we can all focus on the actual health care instead of drowning in paperwork.
