    Ms. Hamba is knowledgeable and compassionate. She is an excellent listener and I feel fortunate to have her on my team. She also is skilled at referring me to resources I may find helpful. Amazingly, even though I know she is very busy, she is very responsive to any message I may send her.

    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.

    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.
