Meet Dr. Hokehe Eko, the brilliant mind behind Glow Pediatrics, a cutting-edge medical practice that is revolutionizing the way we evaluate children with autism. Dr. Eko and her team take a holistic approach to pediatric care, focusing not just on physical health, but also emotional and developmental needs. Their mission is simple: to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for every child who walks through their doors.
The team at Glow Pediatrics understands the importance of early intervention when it comes to autism. That's why they offer a range of services specifically designed to support families who may have concerns about their child's development. As they state on their website, "If you have concerns about the possibility of autism, it is generally better to have your child evaluated sooner rather than later." They believe that understanding a child's behavior and needs is the key to providing the best support possible, even if parents choose not to enroll their child in therapy.
While autism testing is typically most reliable at 18 months or older, Dr. Eko and her team recognize that every child is unique and may exhibit different signs at different ages. In fact, recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shown an increase in autism diagnoses among Black children compared to their white counterparts. This is a concerning trend, but it only reinforces the importance of early intervention and support for children with autism.
At Glow Pediatrics, every child is treated with the utmost care and attention. Dr. Eko, a Board-Certified Pediatrician with over a decade of experience, takes a root-cause approach when it comes to treating ADHD and autism. This means considering not just physical factors, but also environmental and emotional influences. As she explains on her website, "I am better able to differentiate between neuro-typical and neuro-atypical behaviors, and can also help identify if there are other factors at play." This level of expertise and understanding is what sets Glow Pediatrics apart.
In addition to their virtual ADHD and autism evaluations, Glow Pediatrics also hosts weekly Glow Health Circles. These circles provide a supportive community for patients and foster accountability on their health journeys. As a mother of three and founder of the non-profit Kits of Hope, Dr. Eko knows firsthand the importance of compassionate care. She brings this same level of care and dedication to every patient she sees.
Dr. Eko's passion for pediatric care extends beyond her clinical work. She is a graduate of St. George's University School of Medicine and has received additional training in brain health, pediatric integrative medicine, and child abuse. She is also a fierce advocate for foster children, as seen through her non-profit organization, Kits of Hope. With such a diverse and compassionate background, it's no wonder why Dr. Eko is a trusted and respected physician in her field.
Currently, Glow Pediatrics' virtual ADHD and autism evaluations are available in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Maryland. But with their innovative approach to pediatric care, it's clear that Glow Pediatrics is on a mission to make a positive impact on children's lives across the country. As Dr. Eko says in her YouTube series, "Brain Power with Dr. Eko," an early diagnosis can make all the difference. With the support of Glow Pediatrics, families can feel confident and empowered in their child's health journey.
