Sickles expanded the hospital’s graduate medical education programs, and Saint Michael’s has won numerous awards for patient safety during his tenure. 

Sickles has served on the staff of Cabrini Medical Center, North General Hospital in New York, and NYU Lutheran Medical Center/NYU Langone Health. A graduate of Boston University, Sickles earned his medical degree from University of Dominica and did his residency at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY.
