Amy studied at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, earning her Bachelor of Arts in communication science and rhetorical studies. Then, she enrolled at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, and earned her Master's of Science in nursing and subsequently her Family Nurse Practitioner degree.
After graduation, Amy served in various capacities, including inpatient pediatric nursing and ambulatory primary care. These experiences inspired her to open her own clinic –– a place where healthcare meets compassion.
Amy is a friendly and caring provider who works from a holistic and patient-centered treatment philosophy, emphasizing whole-body health and wellness.
Patients from throughout the Chicagoland area visit Amy to receive various medical services, including weight management, mental health care, dermatology, and treatment for hormone imbalances.
Instead of seeing as many people as possible, Amy sets limits on her patient base. That ensures she has enough time to truly understand each person’s needs and concerns.
Rather than asking patients to visit an office for all their healthcare needs, Amy offers the majority of services via telemedicine appointments for people seeking efficient services.
Amy never rushes visits and makes time to develop personalized treatment plans. She incorporates functional medicine into her care philosophy, using food and movement as powerful healing modalities.
Outside of work, Amy enjoys building on her professional skills and knowledge. She’s board-certified by The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and regularly participates in continuing education.
Amy welcomes folks seeking improved mental and physical health to schedule an appointment at Barudin Wellness today.
“After 3 other providers dismissed my perimenopausal symptoms, Ms. Barudin listened and immediately gave me a place to start. I was very happy with my first visit and waited to do my review until after my follow up visit. Again, thrilled. She listened to my feedback on first thing we tried then educated me on options for a needed change. I have already referred some friends to her and will continue to do so. Thank you, Amy for being courageous enough to go into private practice so that you can give women the care we deserve!”
