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.

I've known Dr. Shannon Mize for 40 years. He is, in my opinion, the most respected Doctor in Forsyth County , Ga with a population of 260,000. When I first met Shannon the population of the county was less than 30,000 and he was training with the Mashburn brothers who were the top doctors of the county. Shannon was my mother's doctor and became a good friend to her after my father… See more

Dr Mize has been our family’s physician for many many years. When the children got into their teen years, we switched them to Dr Mize as well. Dr Mize has a very caring and compassionate concern for his patients. He listens to your questions and takes the time to discuss the diagnosis in a way that is easily understood. He has no problem going an extra mile for you and asks you to feel… See more

from Jackie in GA March 11, 2020 for Shannon Mize, MD

I have no “story”, unless you count the times when he’s needed by me or my husband, He’s never too busy and you ALWAYS know that he hears you and you will receive the best care you can receive. I truly trust him with my life and have for over 30 years. There’s not another one like him.

Dr. Mize and his staff are friendly and caring people. I have been seeing Dr. Mize over 25 years. Since we joined. MDVIP he has more time to talk with us. Dr. Mize is very concerned about our health and always asks after our appointment is there anything else we need to talk about. We have never had to wait long periods of time to see him. He seems more relaxed now since he joined MDVIP. Dr.… See more
