Once completing his residency, he entered into a Dermatology Fellowship in Hazelton, PA which resulted in Board Certification in 2007. Currently residing in Sinking Spring PA, Dr. Cordova lives with his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter Mary-‐ Evelina. In his free time, he enjoys running, biking, reading and the occasional trip to Walt Disneyworld. Dr. Cordova’s philosophy has always been that family comes first and he brings this concept towards his approach to medicine. Treating the whole patient and not just the disease process is the cornerstone of his medical practice. He prides himself on educating the patient on the nature of their medical condition and believes a visit to the doctor should be more than just receiving a prescription. He is also very active in training medical students and residents and tries to instill a whole patient approach to these students.
