Michael W. Elice M.D.

Dr. Elice is a board certified pediatrician and has been in practice for 30 years. Originally in practice in Great Neck, New York, he joined Dr. Boris in their specialized practice. After diagnosing patients with ASD, he has sought to find alternative approaches to helping treat these children. Most of the pediatric allopathic community has been trained to approach autism as a behavioral disorder without any thought of medical intervention. Thus far, only ABA, Speech, Physical and Occupational Therapies have been the mainstay of treatment.

Biomedical treatment of autism and ASD is based on the idea that autism is actually a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with genetic, epigenetic, metabolic and autoimmune origins. By taking thorough medical and family histories, complete physical examination and neurological examination, evaluating blood and urine laboratory tests, the etiology of the individual’s disorder can be determined in most cases. Dr. Elice follows the Defeat Autism Now! Protocol which included dietary manipulation, vitamin andmineral supplementation, allergy testing and treatment, chelation of toxic metals such as mercury, aluminum, arsenic, antimony, nickel, cadmium and intestinal dysbiosis treatment.

Dr. Elice is a graduate of Syracuse University and the Chicago Medical School. He completed his pediatric residency at the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY. He has academic teaching positions and is on the staff of North Shore University Hospital and Schneider Children’s Hospital. He is an associate professor of pediatrics at the New York University Medical School and the Albert Einstein School of Medicine. He is on the medical advisory board of the New York Families for Autistic Children (NYFAC) and is a member of the National Autism Association New York Metro Chapter. He has lectured at Defeat Autism Now! Conferences around the country.
