Dr. Hokehe Eko, founder of Glow Pediatrics, is offering a pioneering virtual platform for evaluating children with autism.
The innovative pediatric integrative medicine practice takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to address physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children. “If you have concerns about the possibility of autism, it is generally better to have your child evaluated sooner rather than later,” Glow Pediatrics stated under its autism services. “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.”
Dr. Eko, a Board-Certified Pediatrician with over a decade of experience, takes a root-cause approach when treating ADHD and autism, considering physical and environmental factors. “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. Eko said on her website. She recently discussed the importance of an early autism diagnosis on her YouTube channel, “Brain Power with Dr Eko.”
A graduate of St. George’s University School of Medicine, Dr. Eko has received additional training in brain health, pediatric integrative medicine, and child abuse. As a mother of three and founder of the non-profit Kits of Hope, she extends her compassionate care to foster children.
The virtual ADHD and autism evaluations are currently accessible in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Maryland.
