Amy Read

Professional Nurse

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with 25 years of experience. I obtained a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and hold a national certification with the American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC) as an Adult & Geriatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner.

About Me

With 25 years as a board-certified Nurse Practitioner, I support adults and older adults through acute health challenges. My extensive experience means I deeply understand urgent care complexities. I focus on providing clear, practical guidance. This helps you manage immediate health concerns with greater ease. Clients find a calm, experienced presence, ensuring tailored care for navigating difficult times with confidence.

Approach

You can expect a steady, practical rhythm that turns urgent questions into manageable next steps, prioritizing what matters most right now. In sessions—whether in New York or online in English—I listen for patterns, check symptoms against daily routines, and co-create clear action plans you can try between visits. I blend focused assessment with paced problem-solving so progress feels tangible rather than overwhelming. People juggling acute symptoms and daily responsibilities often find this straightforward, collaborative way of working most helpful.
