This was my first in-person visit with Joyce although we had "met" through MyChart messages. She is a wonderful provider--very compassionate and caring. She discussed my condition in detail, and I was very comfortable with her.

This visit was simply monitoring my status in the third year since breast cancer surgery. I'm doing well with no apparent problems so far related to the cancer. Joyce was/is a careful listener and I feel safe in her care.

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.
