    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 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.
