Urgent Care Professionals Opening New Practice This Spring

by Blake Herzog
Two Prescott certified physician assistants, Kaia Kordosky-Herrera and Zachary Leonard, are launching their own practice this spring to give locals another option for their primary medical care. 
Prescott Complete Care’s office at 1947 Commerce Center Circle, Suite A, is expected to open in early April, Leonard said, depending in part on when contracts with insurance providers are finalized. Their intent is to accept most major plans as well as provide affordable care for those without insurance.
He and Kordosky-Herrera are currently on staff at NextCare Urgent Care, and are preparing to offer “bread-and-butter primary care” in their new office, as many urgent-care patients have told them they’ve had trouble finding providers who are accepting new patients. 
“We’re offering management of acute and chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, injuries, and everything in between,” he said. 
Leonard has lived in Prescott since 2012 and treats a wide variety of illnesses at NextCare, as well as at the Yavapai Regional Medical Center emergency room. His community involvement includes serving as board president for Kind Defined, a local nonprofit, and volunteering as a dance professional for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Arizona’s annual “Dancing With the Stars” benefit. He received his master’s in physician assistant studies from King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Kordosky-Herrera also arrived in Prescott in 2012, and got her start in a small-town emergency room. She then joined an orthopedics practice to treat all related conditions before becoming an urgent-care practitioner. A former teacher, she puts a high priority on patients’ education, making sure they understand the medical necessity and the implications of their care. She earned her MS in physician assistant studies from Midwestern University.
Dr. James McCarver of NextCare Urgent Care in Prescott Valley is medical director for Prescott Complete Care, providing medical oversight and mentorship; Leonard said, “He’s beyond excited that we’re doing this.”
