    • A visit taking approximately 10–15 minutes
    • A finger stick blood draw (your INR)

    • Additional education,if needed, along with a printed summary of the INR result and dosing
    • Your next appointment date and time

    If you are new to Anticoagulation Service, extra time will be spent with you as coordination of your specific needs for warfarin therapy warrant.
