About
We are PA's, we understand practice environments and employment issues
A Truly Personalized Recruiting Service
Physician Assistant Solutions (PA Solutions) is 100 percent PA owned and operated. Founded in 2007, we recognized the drawbacks to recruiters who represent dozens of industries and professions. With limited clinical background, it was no surprise that placement success rates were poor and employers became wary of costly recruiters.
We are different.
We create long-term partnerships between employers and advanced practice providers based on compatibility, not availability. We spend time to understand the needs and priorities of both medical practices and potential providers in order to find the perfect match for both parties.
Nationwide Reach, Local Expertise
We are able to identify qualified candidates regardless of location because of our established presence in the PA community, at both the state and national level.
Contingency-Based Flat Fee
Although most recruiters work to drive up salaries to boost commissions, we offer a contingency-based flat-fee structure, which means no surprises and there’s no incentive to prioritize candidates or employers.
Backed by Our 9-Month Guarantee
In the unlikely event that the PA we placed leaves or is terminated within six months we will continue to search and refer qualified candidates free of charge.

Our Team
Physician Assistant Solutions was founded in 2007 by Matt Ledges. Matt practiced as a PA for 2 years and then applied to medical school. During his emergency medicine residency, Matt developed PAS as a small company—placing PAs regionally—before expanding throughout the United States. In 2010, Matt began to recruit PAs to join him as recruiters to help with expansion.
Mark Roberts, PA-C, was the first PA to join Physician Assistant Solutions in 2010 as a recruiter. Mark was attracted to PAS while looking at a job advertisement posted by founder, Matt Ledges. Mark visited the PAS website and learned that Matt was seeking more PAs to join his recruiting company as recruiters. The timing was perfect. Mark had been in clinical practice for 12 years at this time and was interested in business ownership and also interested in helping PAs find satisfaction in their careers. Mark began as a recruiter and grew his home territory of Texas. Mark continued recruiting and also took on a regional manager role of the south central United States by the end of 2010.
Joel Kutz, PA-C, also joined the company in 2010. Joel has worked with thousands of PAs to help find the perfect fit to form successful partnerships. Joel was responsible for growing his territory in the Midwest and became a regional manager by the end of 2010. In 2012, Joel helped lead PAS through its greatest cycle of growth and his concepts and just plain hard work has brought PAS to the next level.
In 2017, Mark Roberts and Joel Kutz acquired the company from Matt Ledges.
