Family Practice Specialist

When should my child start seeing a family practice doctor?

Stone Oak Urgent Care & Family Practice sees patients starting in infancy. It’s ideal to establish your child with a family practice doctor like Dr. Gogu because he has many years of experience in both pediatrics care and whole-body health care for all ages. 

Stone Oak Urgent Care & Family Practice is a Texas Health Steps provider. The Health Steps program gives all children who are Medicaid participants free checkups from infancy through age 20. 

Dr. Gogu also offers care for every member of the family, including adolescent care, adult care, and geriatrics care. He tailors treatment to you, and has a deep understanding of the conditions that affect each age group. 

How often should I see my family practice doctor?

It depends on your situation, but at a minimum, you should schedule annual physicals so Dr. Gogu can evaluate your health and make sure you don’t have any new issues needing attention. 

An annual physical is mainly a preventive medicine exam to help you guard against future health issues. You may also need to visit Stone Oak Urgent Care & Family Practice at other times, particularly when you’re sick or injured. Urgent care patients are always welcome. 

What conditions does the family practice doctor treat?

Dr. Gogu treats chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver disease, asthma, skin conditions, and others. He also administers vaccinations when needed. 

If your physical shows possible problems, or if you’re experiencing symptoms of a potentially serious health problem, Dr. Gogu can perform all types of tests on-site, including diagnostic lab testing, X-rays, cholesterol testing, vertigo testing, obstructive sleep apnea testing, low testosterone testing, STD screenings, and several others.

Dr. Gogu treats all kinds of common illnesses like colds, flu, urinary tract infections (UTI), bronchitis, strep throat, diarrhea, constipation, and much more. He also treats sports injuries, auto accident injuries, and other kinds of acute injuries. 

If you’re struggling with making healthy lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, Dr. Gogu offers effective smoking cessation help.

Can my family practice doctor treat mental health issues?

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and it’s a major part of bodywide wellness. Dr. Gogu can perform basic mental health screenings to determine exactly what you’re dealing with. 

He provides compassionate counseling and gives you the mental health support you need, whether that means trying a new medication, making changes in your life, or referring you to other medical professionals who specialize in mental health.
