Dr. Hokehe Eko, a dedicated Board-Certified Pediatrician, Integrative Medicine specialist, and mother of three, has made history by launching Glow Pediatrics, the very first Black-owned virtual autism clinic for children in the United States.
This groundbreaking clinic is set to revolutionize access to autism evaluations and care, particularly for underserved communities.
Glow Pediatrics aims to bridge the gap in autism diagnosis and intervention by offering virtual consultations to families in Georgia, Oklahoma, and Maryland, with plans for nationwide expansion later this year.
The clinic also provides expedited autism and ADHD evaluations, with no waiting lists, ensuring timely access to crucial services for thousands of families.
One of the most significant challenges facing families with children on the autism spectrum is the lengthy wait times for evaluations.
With the national average wait time being 27 months, many children are left without the early intervention they desperately need. Dr. Eko’s clinic addresses this urgent need by offering appointments in less than a week, on average, providing prompt and high-quality care to children across the country.
Dr. Eko is guided by the knowledge that early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in achieving positive outcomes for children with autism.
By diagnosing autism early and implementing appropriate interventions, children have a greater chance of reaching their full potential.
This proactive approach is central to Glow Pediatrics’ mission of providing quality care to children, regardless of their geographical location.
Kimberly Johnson from Oklahoma experienced firsthand the challenges of accessing autism evaluations for her son, Isaac.
After facing waitlists of over 15 months, she discovered Glow Pediatrics and received a diagnosis for her son within just 10 days. Johnson emphasizes the significance of timely diagnosis, noting that it opens up access to vital resources and support for children and provides parents with a sense of direction in caring for their child’s needs.
Dr. Hokehe Eko brings a wealth of expertise to Glow Pediatrics, with her background in general pediatrics and fellowship training in Integrative Medicine.
She is a recognized authority on Brain Health and has been featured in various media outlets, including NPR, Business Insider, and TEDx. Her commitment to improving children’s health and well-being drives her innovative approach to pediatric care.
Families seeking autism or ADHD evaluations can schedule appointments directly with Glow Pediatrics, without the need for a referral.
Dr. Eko invites families to visit the clinic’s website to learn more about their services and connect with her on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and podcasts (@Brain Power with Dr. Eko).
Glow Pediatrics represents a significant step forward in addressing the urgent need for accessible and timely autism evaluations and care.
Dr. Hokehe Eko’s pioneering efforts are poised to make a profound impact on the lives of children with autism and their families across the United States.
