Anticoagulation Services

Our group of physicians, pharmacists and support staff provides excellent care to patients by managing and monitoring the medication warfarin (Coumadin®), as well as other anticoagulants. Our nationally recognized service also provides anticoagulation education to patients and health care professionals.

New Patients

Patients should allow extra time on their first visit for a short informational session before the initial appointment with the provider. Please note that referrals to our clinic are accepted only from UC San Diego Health physicians.
