About Me

Dr. Sackett is board certified in Internal Medicine — Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology. After earning his medical degree from University of Virginia School of Medicine, he received additional training through a residency in Internal Medicine at Emory University. He also did a Cardiology fellowship at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and an Electrophysiology Fellowship at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. 

He loves caring for the Lynchburg and Danville community because, "This is my home. I grew up here and my friends and family are here. I feel strongly about improving the health and quality of life for the people of this community." When he is not providing care at the Heart and Vascular Institute, he likes to spend his time fishing, playing golf and spending time with friends and family.

Ratings and comments are obtained from verified patient survey data collected on behalf of Centra by a third-party vendor, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. Centra uses Press Ganey’s MD satisfaction surveys to assess patients' experiences with healthcare providers and staff. In order to support full transparency, Centra ensures that the full range of patient comments, both positive and negative, are published.

Star ratings are displayed only for those physicians who participate in Centra’s patient experience survey program through Press Ganey and have received a minimum of 30 surveys responses.

Despite the drive toward full transparency, occasionally some comments cannot be published because they jeopardize the patient’s privacy, contain vulgar or offensive language, or contain libelous or defamatory content. In these rare instances, comment exclusion based on a strict set of exclusion criteria may be appropriate.
