Coumadin Clinic

Coumadin Management

Coumadin (generic-warfarin) is a drug prescribed to thin the blood and prevent the development of clots. We provide this service for established patients.

  • The use of Coumadin must be monitored closely by measuring an “INR” to ensure correct dosage and to minimize the risk of bleeding due to excessive blood thinning. The effect of Coumadin on the INR can vary greatly and is affected by diet and many other medications.
  • In order to ensure that your INR remains in the recommended range we offer direct Coumadin management. Schedule an appointment with our front office. Our experienced medical assistants will obtain blood from a fingerstick. This blood will then be analyzed and a result will be immediately available. The medical assistant will review the result with your physician and communicate any changes with you before you leave the office.
  • Be prepared for your Coumadin visit — know your dose, any changes in medication or changes in diet
  • Prior to the visit, the insurance copay will be collected if required

Starting in August our office hours will be changing to Mon-Thurs 7:30am-5pm, and phones answered Mon-Thurs 8am-4pm. Our office will be closed on Fridays. This decision has been made to prioritize the well-being of our employees and to promote a healthier work-life balance in order to best service or patients.
