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.
