Cumming Patients
Why Cumming Residents Choose Merus
Cumming and Forsyth County have grown quickly, and specialist access has not always kept pace. Patients looking for a gastroenterologist Cumming residents can actually get in to see often face long waits. Merus has an office right here in Cumming and is accepting new patients.
What patients tend to cite, though, is not scheduling. Merus is an All Female GI Group, and for a specialty where the symptoms are personal and the exams are invasive, that changes the tone of the appointment in a way many people find easier. Dr. Sumana Moole is board-certified through the American Board of Internal Medicine, with 17 years in medicine and 12 focused on gastroenterology.
The clinical philosophy is the third piece. Care here works from a whole-body view, weighing diet, stress, sleep and medical history alongside medication rather than treating the symptom in isolation. And because most digestive conditions are managed over time, seeing the same gastroenterologist appointment after appointment means your history does not have to be re-explained and small changes in your symptoms actually get noticed.
Conditions We Treat
Comprehensive GI Services for the Cumming Community
Merus Gastroenterology treats the full range of digestive concerns. Upper GI complaints include acid reflux and GERD, heartburn, nausea and vomiting and trouble swallowing. Lower GI concerns include abdominal pain, chronic bloating and gas, constipation, diarrhea, hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding.
Chronic and inflammatory conditions are a particular focus, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Liver and pancreatic concerns, including abnormal liver enzymes, cirrhosis, gallstones and pancreatitis, are evaluated and managed here as well.
Prevention matters just as much. Colonoscopy, endoscopy and colorectal cancer screening are core services. Adults at average risk should begin colorectal cancer screening at 45, and earlier with a family history of the disease, a personal history of polyps or inflammatory bowel disease.
Directions
Getting to Merus Gastroenterology in Cumming
Our Cumming office is at 935 Buford Rd, Suite 212, Cumming, GA 30041, with parking at the building. The practice also has an office at 3390 Paddocks Parkway, Suite 100, in Suwanee, so you can choose whichever location suits your schedule.
Appointments run Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Telemedicine visits are available for follow-ups and for consultations that do not require a physical exam. To confirm scheduling or check insurance, call (770) 400-0828.
Procedures are worth planning around separately. Because endoscopy and colonoscopy involve sedation, you will need someone to drive you home afterward, so it is worth arranging that when you book rather than the week before. The office will send preparation instructions well in advance and is available by phone if anything about the prep is unclear.
Your First Visit
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Bring a list of your current medications and supplements, any previous GI test results you have access to, and a note of your family history, particularly any relatives diagnosed with colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease. That history frequently changes what gets recommended, and it is easy to forget in the moment.
The visit itself starts with a conversation rather than a procedure. Dr. Moole will want the pattern of your symptoms, what you have already tried, and what a good outcome looks like for you. Testing is ordered when it will genuinely change the plan, and if a procedure such as an endoscopy or colonoscopy is recommended, you will understand the reasoning before you leave.
Come with your questions written down. Appointments move quickly once the clinical discussion begins, and the questions people most want to ask are exactly the ones that get forgotten. A short list keeps the visit focused on what actually brought you in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find a gastroenterologist in Cumming, GA?

What GI conditions does a gastroenterologist in Cumming, GA typically treat?
The most common reasons Cumming patients book an appointment are persistent heartburn or GERD, chronic bloating and abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and diarrhea, and routine colon cancer screening. Inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and abnormal liver enzyme results are also managed here.
Why choose a gastroenterologist in Cumming for digestive health?
A gastroenterologist focuses exclusively on the digestive system, which means a more targeted diagnostic approach and access to procedures such as endoscopy and colonoscopy when they are needed. Staying local also makes follow-up realistic, and chronic digestive conditions are managed far better through consistent follow-up than through one-off appointments.
Do I need a referral to see a gastroenterologist in Cumming?
It depends on your insurance plan rather than on the practice. Some plans, particularly HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician before seeing a specialist, while many PPO plans do not. Call (770) 400-0828 before booking and the team will help you confirm what your plan requires.
How soon can Cumming residents get an appointment?
The practice is accepting new patients. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call (770) 400-0828 or book online, and let the team know if your symptoms are worsening so they can prioritize scheduling.
