I have recently moved from long beach california to clovis california and need to find a good female internist. I have pulmonary hypertension and have excellent specialty doctors at UCLA but need someone local to monitor my warfarin and take care of any other medical issues. Betty Peery
you don't need to monitor your warfarin dose from other people ...you should monitor your ptinr yourself..it should be between 1.5 -2.studies say that best results come when patient himself participate actively in this monitoring..so you do with the help of your doctor..all is well
