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.

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.

- 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.

I really love seeing Joyce. She is so warm and caring. She is very knowledgeable about breast cancer treatment, follow up, and the impact all of it has on patients. She give good advice about self care and seems to truly care about her patients as people. I never feel rushed with her and she listens carefully during visits. Joyce Hamba and [staff] are big reasons I keep coming to Sibley for my post surgery care. [staff] is awesome, too!
