My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

As a family medicine physician, my goal is to use my knowledge, skills, experience and insight to help my patients achieve better health through wellness and preventive care. In my personalized healthcare practice, I have more time to get to know my patients beyond their symptoms and care for their unique needs. I enjoy treating the whole person and have special interests in hypertension, diabetes, obesity, lipid disorders and wellness. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. 

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.

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.

Lots of personal issues in 2023. Dr. Mize was willing to listen and give me encouragement during the trying times. He never seems to be in a hurry when he is with me.

We love Dr. Mize and his office and do… See more

He visited me every morning in the hospital and reviewed my situation with me and my husband giving
us confidence that i would recover. He explained every procedure I was to undergo. At… See more

I have been going to Dr Mize for over 30 years now. He has made me feel, at every appointment, that he truly cares about anything and everything I have to say about my health or just my concerns. I can’t even imagine going to another physician, where I would feel 100% comfortable and well taken care of. His staff is top notch as well and as caring as he is.
I’ve nothing but positive… See more

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
