As an individual with "white coat" syndrome, first of all, I am glad you are always fashionably dressed without a white coat, and second, thank you for being the kindest, most compassionate, easy to talk to, caring medical professional I have ever dealt with. No truer words have ever been spoken.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
I am on staff and have privileges at Northside Forsyth Hospital and make daily rounds for my patients. As a private doctor, I also make rounds for my patients at Chestnut Ridge and Cumming Nursing Center nursing homes. Although my primary care practice is located within the city of Cumming, Georgia, I see patients from Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Lumpkin, Hall, Cherokee and Gilmer counties.
My medical staff and I have been practicing together for the past 32 years and devote the majority of our time to our family medicine practice. Many wonderful friendships have been formed through the years.
I have served as Chief of Staff at Lakeside Hospital and Baptist North Hospital and have been Chief of Medicine at Northside Forsyth Hospital. I also serve as Chairman of the Board of Health of Forsyth County and am a member of First Baptist Church of Cumming. I am an avid reader, exercise daily and have a keen passion for U.S. history, Georgia history and World War II.

Several months ago I was having difficulty walking across the room.I went to see Dr Mize and he ran several tests with no results. He said we are missing something and off we went to the hospital for more tests. While I was lying on the table I flat lined and the doctors were able to get a pulse. If Dr Mize hadn’t taken me to the hospital where I could be treated for a heart attack, I wouldn’t… See more
