Joyce Hamba is excellent -- both a relatable, very nice person and excellent NP. Her ""trainee"" [staff], who is joining the department, is also a winner. High praise for both.

Joyce Hamba is probably the 3rd PA I've had with [staff] (Oncology). Joyce is a ROCK STAR! She treats me overall, mentally and physically and not only my cancer treatment. All in a swift and efficient appointment. If you could clone her, you should. She is outstanding.

On call oncology nurse, replied to my urgent need for addressing chemotherapy side effects. Spent a lot of time on the phone, after hours on a weekend, with both me and my pharmacist to get me the medications I needed. She even called the pharmacist directly to push an order through.

I have been coming to Sibley for over nine years. This is the best service I ever had. It was a pleasure to see my previous nurse. She hugged me and made me so comfortable. Joyce is a very good listener. She takes her time to explain everything. She went above and beyond to schedule a blood work the same day. I didn't even have to wait that long. The provider need to clone Joyce.

Joyce Hamba is delightful.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/9/2025
Joyce voiced empathy when I endorsed some symptoms. She did not understand my question about Tamoxifen's mechanism of action, even after I attempted to clarify, and her answer was unrelated to my question. She also provided some information that was in contrast to information provided by [staff] about the long-term impact of the medication, which has created uncertainty and a need for me to consult additional resources.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/9/2025
Joyce is top notch. Very knowledgeable and compassionate. She strikes a great balance of being friendly and professional. She explains everything in language I can understand. I feel very comfortable being in her care.
