Shannon Mize, MD

Meet Shannon Mize, MD


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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
