“Dr Cardova and his staff are great. I was very nervous going into my appointment, but the nurse and Dr Cardova were very friendly and calmed me down. They listened to my concerns and did not rush me or shrug off anything I said. Dr Cardova took his time listening to me and checking my skin. He even removed a mole the same visit. Quick and painless. Everyone at his office is so nice, and you get that calm, trusting feeling when you’re there, that you don’t get at every doctors office. I definitely will go back to Dr Cardova, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a new dermatologist”

I waited over a month for this appointment, drove over an hour away, took time off of work and tried to explain to the disrespectful POS working the front desk that I had a flat tire and I had an insanely rough morning. This wack job Karen denied me because I was one minute past their grace period and refused to let me be seen. The complete disrespect this staff has for people who genuinely need help is unmatched, don’t waste your time going here. 1/13/26 12:01pm.

I was seen very close to my appt time, so very short wait. The nurse and Dr. Cordova were both very kind and friendly, knowledgeable and informative. Had a small biopsy and two lesion removals, very minimal discomfort, both nurse and doctor were highly efficient and skilled and I was finished within 45 minutes. Pleasant experience!

Dr Cordova is the best dermatologist i've ever seen. He's knowledgeable, up to date on the latest treatments and will hold your hand when necssary. I recommend him to friends and family when they're in need of a dermatologist
September 28, 2017Jeanne A.Verified patient
The NP was the most compassionate caring medical indicidual i have ever encountered. She was thorough with her exam and was extremely professional and took the time to answer all my questions.
September 6, 2017Diann A.Verified patient
I thought Dr. Cordova was great. He listened to everything I had to say and addressed all of my questions. He gave me treatment options. I arrived 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork and as soon as I was finished I was seen. The office staff/assistants were very friendly.
August 29, 2017Allison Q.Verified patient
A very professional and welcoming doctor. His confidence, knowledge, and experience showed from the first time I met him through my complete visit. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dermatologist. I will keep him as one of my permanent Doctors for when I need an evaluation and/ or treatment for a condition under his field of experience.
June 6, 2017Paul A.Verified patient
My check in went smoothly, despite the fact that my insurance is not well known. I was escorted to an examining room, where my new patient profile was completed. I was ready for the doctor!
Dr. Cordova was professional, attentive to my concerns, and reassuring. The removal of a small mole was painless. Glad to have such an excellent dermatologist on my team.
August 30, 2016Mary H.Verified patient
This was my second visit to the office. Dr. Cordova and his assistant were efficient and professional. My needs were met and I was on my way in a reasonable amount of time. The seamless check in and out is a pleasure.
August 15, 2016Phyllis D.Verified patient
I was able to get appt same week. Doc was kind, thorough and gentle. When he saw I was a bit anxious during numbing of the area, he wisely kept talking to me while Kara did the injection! They were really nice.
More than 1 year agoPam K.Verified patient
Richard Cordova, DO was professional and had a very kind bedside manner. He explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. He talked directly to the patient (elderly woman) rather than to the person accompanying her. Not all medical professionals do this, making the patient feel like they are not important or are too "old" to understand what is being done. This appointment went very well. I would recommend Richard Cordova to my friends or family members.

Although I was seen on short notice, Dr. Cordova barely made eye contact throughout the visit. Additionally, when I asked his nurse to send my prescriptions to a mail-order pharmacy, she told me that they wouldn't have time to fill out a couple of forms for me, which made me feel like I was certainly not a priority nor a valued patient. We were able to work things out in the end, but I do not plan to return because of how rude Dr. Cordova's staff was.

Dr. Cordova was very knowledgeable and thorough. He had very nice bedside manners. I felt that he listened to me and understood my concerns.

Dr. Cordova was very attentive to my needs. He took the time to listen to my concerns and diagnosed my condition accordingly. He also gave me tips on how to be proactive in preventing re-occurances vs. prescribing medication. He's one of the best Dr.s I've ever encountered. He also has a friendly and professional staff.
February 24, 2015Shawnta S.Verified patient
Over the years I have been to many dermatologists, Dr, Cordova is by far the best!!!!!!
He is professional, personable, knowledgeable and sympathetic of my skin condition. I can not express enough how glad I am that I found this man to be my doctor. If he would close his Reading office and return to his Allentown office I would definitely follow him to that office.
He is also prompt with his appointments such that I never waited in the waiting room longer than 10 minutes of scheduled appointment
I would recommend Dr. Cordova to anyone that would need a dermatologist. He is in my book the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!
