Anti-coagulant medication (often referred to as Coumadin 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 ensure their blood is not too thin or too thick.
Our patients benefit from one-on-one counseling and education. We improve the comfort of these blood draws by using a finger stick method with the Protime/INR monitoring system to provide patients with instant results.
