Family nurse practitioner Ashley Boles started her medical career in a very fast-paced setting in the emergency department. While she loved her work there, she wanted a way to do more for her patients and develop relationships with them and their families. She loves working with children and found pediatrics was the right fit for her. Ashley enjoys patients of all ages, but especially loves seeing newborns through their first year of life. She feels fortunate to be part of such a special time of growth and development. Family keeps Ashley busy when she's not working. She and her husband, Adam, met while in college. They now have a son and enjoy spending time together, traveling, hiking and being outdoors.

My father was a neonatologist. When I was young, I would often visit the hospital with him to see the sick babies in his care. That inspired me to become a pediatrician myself. My three younger siblings also followed our father's footsteps into the medical field, so you can say caring for others is truly the family business. \n I love working with children each day; they are so curious, full of energy and excited about the world around them. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, and have special interest in premature babies, as well as children with behavior concerns such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I believe in letting kids be kids. They are stronger than we think and a lot of times they are able to work things out for themselves if we stay out of their way. I see my role as understanding when to give them that freedom, and when intervention is necessary. When you have a concern with your child, we will get to the bottom of it, and we will avoid unnecessary medications or procedures while we do that. \n I grew up in central Florida and met my wife, Morgan, in medical school. I completed a pediatric residency here in North Carolina, and fell in love with the weather and people here. We are happy to call the Winston-Salem area home,and enjoy taking our son and our dog to local parks and swimming pools, and on adventures to find delicious North Carolina barbecue.
