Nigerian doctor Dr. Hokehe Eko has launched Glow Pediatrics, a pioneering virtual clinic offering evaluations for children with autism across the United States.
The virtual ADHD and autism evaluations are currently accessible in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Maryland for children aged 18 months to 10 years.
According to Black Enterprise, Eko founded Glow Pediatrics as an innovative pediatric integrative medicine practice that takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to address the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children.
Eko emphasized the importance of early evaluation for autism, stating, “If you have concerns about the possibility of autism, it is generally better to have your child evaluated sooner rather than later.” She added, “Even if you choose not to enroll your child in therapy, understanding your child’s behavior and needs can go a long way toward knowing how to support them.”
The virtual ADHD and autism evaluations at Glow Pediatrics are one-to-two-hour sessions tailored for children aged 18 months to 10 years.
After evaluating the patient, Eko provides a detailed analysis, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations which are discussed during a follow-up appointment.
Under Eko’s leadership, the clinic hosts weekly Glow Health Circles, creating a supportive community and fostering accountability for patients on their health journeys.
Eko, a Brain Health Consultant and Board-Certified Pediatrician with over a decade of experience, takes a root-cause approach when treating ADHD and autism, considering physical and environmental factors. She stated on her website, “As a result of my experience, 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, such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, intellectual delays, or other medical conditions.”
Dr. Hokehe Eko is a graduate of St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada, the University of North Florida, and the University of South Florida.
