Hi, my name is Todd Bickmore and I
was born and raised in Middletown, CT. I’m married to my wonderful wife
Tina, and have two great kids, Devin and Chera. My son Devin is 16 and
is studying to be an Electrician. My daughter Chera is 10 and wants to
be a Veterinarian. My wife Tina is a Saint and a Nurse, but I won’t
dare tell you her age. We all like to hike and walk our two dogs, Zoë
and Hannah. We also do MMA, which is mixed martial arts. We enjoy
traveling and we eat out often. We also love to cook and our house
usually smells like an Italian kitchen. Because of that, I go to the
Gym as often as I can.

Doctor is because I love helping people. Although I’ve been doing this
for over 20 years, I didn’t always dream of becoming a medical
professional. In fact, I started out as an Electrician and, as part of
my training in that field, was required to take a basic first aid course
which included CPR. As fate would have it, one day, I had the
opportunity to use my new skill as a fellow construction worker
collapsed on the job site. I started CPR until the ambulance arrived,
and they defibrillated him back to life. I felt so good afterward that
I decided to start a new career, Medicine.
So, in 1989, I enrolled into an
EMT course and began working on a local ambulance. In 1991, I became a
Paramedic and worked the mean streets of Bridgeport, CT. In 1996, I
became a career Firefighter but after about 3 years, decided to go back
to school to finish my degree and become a Physician Assistant. So,
after finishing my BS in 2001, I started the PA program at Quinnipiac,
where I graduated in 2003 with my Masters. Within a year, I knew I
wanted to go further, so I enrolled in The University of Health
Sciences, Antigua School of Medicine. And, here I am…
