SHELTON - Griffin Faculty Physicians is pleased to welcome Dr. Michael Sergi, MS, MD, FACS, a highly skilled and experienced vascular surgeon, to its multi-specialty medical group.
Dr. Sergi brings more than 20 years of experience as a board-certified vascular surgeon, recently serving as a member of The Vascular Experts.
His attentive approach has helped him to build lasting relationships with patients managing chronic and progressive vascular disease, helping them improve circulation, mobility and alleviate painful symptoms.
He specializes in vascular disease evaluation and management, venous disease, vein treatment, and complex wound care.
“I was drawn to medicine because I’ve always liked fixing things and helping people,” Dr. Sergi said. “My father was a surgeon, and being around medicine early on showed me the kind of impact it can have. One of the things that makes vascular surgery unique is continuity of care. These conditions are often chronic and progressive, so I’m not just treating a single event. I’m following patients over time, monitoring how things change, and helping decide what needs to happen next.”
Dr. Sergi earned his medical degree at New York Medical College. He completed his residency at St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan and was fellowship-trained at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
He has an extensive background in vascular disease research, with peer-reviewed publications.
In addition to his clinical and research work, Dr. Sergi has contributed to medical education as a faculty member at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University, where he has been involved in training medical students in vascular and surgical principles.
He was named a Connecticut Magazine Top Doctor from 2021-2025.
Dr. Sergi is currently seeing patients at Griffin Faculty Physicians Vascular Medicine, located in the Ivy Brook Medical Center, 2 Ivy Brook Road, Suite 105, Shelton.

His work centers on identifying the source of rhythm disturbances and guiding treatment using advanced data, clinical evidence, and detailed analysis of the heart’s electrical activity.
Dr. Rackley completed his General Cardiology fellowship at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, where he served as Chief Cardiology Fellow, and completed advanced fellowship training in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
He completed his Internal Medicine residency at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and earned his medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine.
For Dr. Rackley, strong heart care begins with understanding the person behind the condition.
“I always start by listening to patients and finding out what matters most to them and how I can be a helpful partner,” Dr. Rackley said.
His interest in cardiac electrophysiology is rooted in both the complexity of the specialty and the meaningful difference treatment can make in patients’ lives.
“What drew me to cardiac electrophysiology is the problem-solving and the use of advanced data, evidence, and the heart’s electrical signals to determine the source of an arrhythmia and how best to treat it,” he said. “While I enjoy the mental aspect, the most rewarding part is seeing the impact successful treatment has on patients’ lives.”
Dr. Rackley’s approach reflects Griffin Health’s Planetree person-centered care philosophy, which emphasizes treating each patient as a whole person, and ensuring they are fully informed, comfortable, and actively involved in their care decisions. His training at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center reinforced the importance of clear communication, access to information, and building meaningful partnerships with patients. By combining advanced cardiac electrophysiology expertise with a focus on person-centered care Dr. Rackley brings a care experience that supports both the clinical and personal needs of every patient, to improve outcomes and quality of life.
Griffin Faculty Physicians Cardiac Electrophysiology is located at Ivy Brook Medical Center, 2 Ivy Brook Road, Suite 120, Shelton.
