James R. Sackett, M.D.
About Dr. Sackett
Dr. James Sackett is a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at Carrell Clinic.
When he was 10-years-old, Dr. Sackett sustained multiple fractures in a car accident that left him orphaned. Near-death, he was attended by L. Ray Lawson, M.D., a physician with Carrell Clinic. He required a series of reconstructive surgeries, which were performed by the “grandfather” of pediatric orthopaedics, Walter P. Blount, M.D. (Milwaukee). To guide in his own rehabilitation, Dr. Sackett became a competitive long-distance runner.
