In this week's Pinnacle Medical Group spotlight, we want to highlight Valerie Leitko, PA-C.

Valerie grew up in Sparks, NV and is proud to still call Northern Nevada home. After graduating from Touro University in Henderson, NV she chose to focus on Family Medicine. She enjoys working with a diverse population and patients of all ages.

When she is not working with her patients to better their health, she enjoys baking, puzzles, is a self-proclaimed Star Wars nerd, and likes spending time with her husband and two sons.

At Pinnacle Medical Group we want patients to feel welcomed and involved in their care. In our effort to create an inviting space for our patients we would like to highlight a few of our providers so you know them by more than just a name.

This week we have chosen Ryan Aiazzi, APRN. Ryan is a native Nevadan and is part of our McCabe Integrative Team. In his practice he has a strong focus on disease prevention and sees the patient as a whole rather than their medical condition. Ryan takes pride in ensuring the patient care experience is positive for each person under his care and is very thorough when managing patient conditions.

In his time away from the office, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, exploring the Nevada wilderness, hunting, and fishing in the area rivers and lakes.
