St. Luke's Hematology Oncology Specialists - Allentown
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 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.”
