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.
