Dr. Nicholas Allan Preziosi

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.
