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 my 1st OV with Dr Albandar. I was very nervous but he made me feel very comfortable from the minute he stepped into the room. He explained everything very well and I will follow up with him in 6 months to review more blood work and CAT scan. Glad he is my Hematologist because he is very caring and very smart.”
