Kelly Soares earned her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from UC Davis School of Medicine in Sacramento, California, her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota, and her Associate degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography from St. Cloud Technical College in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Kelly brings nearly a decade of experience as a Physician Assistant and close to 20 years as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer to her patient care. Dual-trained in both disciplines, she combines advanced clinical knowledge with extensive imaging expertise to provide comprehensive, detail-oriented care.
Her approach is collaborative, thorough, and deeply patient-centered. She believes in pairing strong clinical expertise with clear communication, patient education, and compassion—recognizing that fertility care can be both medically complex and emotionally challenging. Having personally navigated fertility obstacles, Kelly is especially attuned to the emotional aspects of treatment and is committed to ensuring every patient feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout their journey.
Kelly is the most experienced Physician Assistant within Pinnacle in Arizona and serves as the lead clinician for training and supervising newly hired Physician Assistants nationwide. She developed and implemented Pinnacle’s Physician Assistant training program and is trusted as a key educator and mentor within the organization.
Outside of the clinic, Kelly enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two daughters, whether boating, hiking, golfing, or attending sporting events. She proudly serves as a Lieutenant in the United States Air Force Reserve at Luke Air Force Base. Most recently, she appeared on Wheel of Fortune and won a family trip to Barbados.
