Created issues with medication dosages prescribed by Cardiologists that could have had been very bad had Cardiologist not been contacted by me before doing what Corder said. Cardiologist said not to lower medications and that my checking had adverted a potentially serious problem and that Corder was uninformed and very wrong!!

Dr. Corder and his staff are wonderful with their patients. Both he and his nurse are so kind and take time with their patients and listen to our needs and treat us with respect. All of the staff at the office is so very courteous and kind to the patients that they make you feel welcome when you are there for your appointment. I am so lucky to have Dr. Corder as my primary care physican.

I wasn't sure what to expect on my first visit today. Dr. Corder is a well-educated, informed, and highly intelligent man who never let on that he is all those. He is such a down-to-earth human being and would highly recommend him to any diabetes patient out there. Thumbs up!!

I have been a patient for over a year, and have needed to see the Doctor 4 times within that year. However I've yet to be able to see this Doctor within a year. To date I've only been able to see the Nurse Practitioner. I'm not apposed to seeing a Nurse Practitioner for minor colds and coughs however they should not replace a Doctors care. I've "HEARD" good things about this Doctor but regretfully I'm not able to confirm nor deny this. I'm Seeking new "DOCTOR"

Doctor Corder is not only an excellent clinician but he also has the art of compassionate caring for his patients AND their families! It is rare, indeed, to be able to find a physician with both of these qualities. IMHO, Doctor Corder ought to be cloned and be available to all patients :)
