The anticoagulation clinic is a service we provide to help our patients taking warfarin. Warfarin is a medication that helps prevent blood clots and can be dangerous if not closely monitored. Our clinic is staffed by RNs who have had special training in warfarin therapy. The clinic is overseen by one of our own physicians who is available for consult should the need arise.
Our main goal is the proper management of your warfarin therapy. To facilitate this, we obtain your blood results through a fingerstick and provide results on the spot. We can make any adjustments to your dosing regimen based on these results.
Also at these visits, we monitor you for any changes in diet, medication or general health which may affect your warfarin regime. We are also available to answer questions you may have about your anticoagulation therapy. We want to work with you to make this a safe and positive experience.
