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.

This was only my second visit with Dr. Albandar. We are still developing a relationship. I am impressed with his knowledge, his preparation for my visit and his attention to details. I am being monitored because I had thyroid cancer surgery 6 1/2 years ago. I am very informed about my condition and don't need tons of advice. What I liked was that Dr. Albandar recognized that he was dealing with someone who had informed opinions, and he was willing to listen and make my treatment a partnership. The staff in this office is EXTREMELY efficient and very welcoming.

Since I had to be treated for cancer I could not have been assigned to a more perfect physician. He was caring and thoughtful of both my feelings and my wife's. He always answered questions and reassured us that the treatment plan was a good one. I am cancer free and I can thank Dr. Albandar for his continued support during this process. Dr. Albandar is the best!
