About Me

GU Oncology Program – Medical Co-Director (Allentown)

I practice hematology and medical oncology with a passion in knowing that I can make an impact in treating these serious conditions.  My goal is to help patients make individual treatment decisions that are appropriate for their individual situations and to be an advocate for them throughout their journey. 

The bulk of my education was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and my love for biochemistry and medicine led to my profound interest in health care and the need to serve within this field.   I have a special interest in genitourinary and thoracic Oncology.

As someone who grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, I am well acquainted with the Lehigh Valley and the proud heritage of this region.  There is nowhere else that I would rather work! I enjoy traveling and meeting new people and spend most of my free time with my wife and 2 kids.

The doctor outlined and explained what the game plan was to treat my cancer. He made sure I knew about all tests and other doctors that I would be seeing. His staff could not have been more helpful. They even printed out directions to the different hospitals I would have to go to for testing.

"This provider" is my oncologist. He does not supply routine care, so many of the initial questions don't really apply to our relationship. He was not my doctor during my initial bout of cancer; he was not even my first oncologist. However, I've now seen him three times, and he is very much up to speed on my case, and I have complete trust in him that he will be there for me if I need him. He is very knowledgeable and thorough, and as we have gotten to know each other, I feel better and better about working with him. The staff at this facility has always been excellent, and that continues with Dr. Albandar.

Dr. Albandar is the best. He has taken great care of me and I credit him and the retired surgeon Dr Andrew smith with saving my life. Dr. Albandar is kind and compassionate. He has guided me thru this journey with cancer and I wouldn't want anyone else as my Oncologist.
