Physician Profile

Dan Rossignol, MD

Dan Rossignol, MD, a Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) physician has been part of the International Child Development Resource Center (ICDRC) in Florida, had previously worked as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia Department of Family Medicine. He received his Doctorate of medicine at the Medical College of Virginia and completed his residency in family medicine at the University of Virginia. He is the father of two children with autism, ages five and three.

One of his clinical interests is the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in neurodevelopment disorders including autism. Dr. Rossignol and Lanier Rossignol, Dr. Rossignol’s wife, who is a family nurse practitioner and who is involved heavily with the research, authored the study entitled, “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Improve Symptoms In Autistic Children,” published in Medical Hypothesis. Another study was completed in May 2006, which was a trial on 18 children using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and a placebo controlled trial sponsored by the International Hyperbarics Association, Inc. The Rossignols have been and will continue to be involved with research in the future and are in the planning stages for several other research studies.

Kyle Van Dyke, MD

Dr. Kyle Van Dyke MD is a board certified family physician who became involved in autism when his son Ryan was diagnosed in 2004. He graduated from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and did his residency at the University of Virginia. He has worked with Dr. Elizabeth Mumper (Medical Director of DAN!) at the Advocates for Children Clinic (now the Rimland Center) since September 2005. He has special interest in GI issues, diet, HBOT, mitochondrial dysfunction and treating medical problems of family members of affected children. He has also completed The Institute for Functional Medicine's clinician training course, applying similar principles used in treating autism to complex chronic conditions in adults.

Dr. Kyle Van Dyke focuses on treating children with special needs and their family members; approaching each person as an individual, not as a label. Dr. Van Dyke listens and fully understands the importance of parent/patient insight and direction. A team approach toward each patients' journey is emphasized. The parent, child, and doctor form the core team. Dr. Van Dyke bases his approach on scientifically sound biochemical processes. Dr. Van Dyke is the kind of doctor that will make you feel comfortable enough to discuss all issues and concerns while motivating you to continue to seek answers and progress.

Dr. Kyle Van Dyke also draws from his experience as a father. From the diagnosis denial through the toll of diet and supplements, the Van Dyke family has grown and learned. Ryan has made enormous progress using the Defeat Autism Now approach! The rest of the Van Dyke family includes Annette (a pharmacist) and daughter, Kylie. As a family, the Van Dyke's enjoy traveling, parks, and playing with trains.
