Anti-Coagulant Clinic (Coumadin Clinic)

Central Cardiology Medical Center offers a Coumadin Clinic to our patient. Anti-coagulant medication (often referred to as Coumadin, Warfarin or blood thinners) is sometimes necessary to prevent or treat conditions related to improper blood flow or clotting. It is important for patients taking Coumadin to get regular and timely blood tests to assure the effect of the blood thinner remains in the desired range.

Our patients benefit from one-on-one counseling and education regarding Coumadin side effects as well as the effects of various foods and other medications that can affect the test results.

We improve the comfort of these blood draws by using a finger stick method with the Protime/INR monitoring system rather than a venous blood draw. We provide our patients with immediate test results and dosing instructions.
