Patricia was good about explaining the insurance policies. And patience with our questions
J.R., Customer
Extremely helpful. Sorted the information for me and helped me to get what I wanted and needed.
L.B., Customer
I have always been greeted at the front desk with a smile, and It is the personal touch that Janet offers to her clients. It's like coming to visit a friend...and oh, also, discussing my insurance needs. lol Janet is so friendly, I never feel rushed out, how could anyone go anywhere else? My insurance needs are well handled. I never have to worry about my rates, coverage or claim forms. When I have concerns I can call Janet and she will fix it. It's great peace of mind. As for the first question, I have recommended Sams-Hockaday many times and will continue to do so. Thank you for a great service.
Customer since 2013
Trusting this company, Patty Gogerty specifically, to provide the appropriate supplement and prescription insurance to fit my needs takes a huge weight off my shoulders.
Customer since 2013
The coverage and options process was explained thoroughly and simply. Too many insurance agents speak "insurance hoo-hah", and that's why they don't get my business! In business, as in life, it's always best to keep it simple.
Skip H., customer since 2015
We really enjoy Patty for her efficiency and honesty. I recently recommended her to my brother. I told him that she can answer any questions he may have. Thanks, Patty

Your company continues to give great customer service. That is the mainstay of an exceptional company. The employees all must share in that belief which makes them exceptional as well. Keep up the good work!

First off, my wife and I feel that Patti Gogerty has a very good understanding of the Medicare supplement insurance field. Patti also impressed us with her focus on keeping the insurance costs low for her clients. Lastly, our office appointments went like clockwork. Patti had everything all laid out.

The thing I like best is that you do the research and know the companies and the coverage they provide. You are able to recommend the best plan for my needs.
T.G., Customer
You are always there if I have questions. I have seen the stats and figures through visits with you and feel I have a leg up on offers coming thru the mail. I appreciate the yearly check in with me to make sure I'm at the best place.

Even though I live out of state now, I still receive your personal, yet professional, expertise. It's great to have a trusted agent who is just an email or a phone call away. I always feel a little more confident once I talk to Patty.

The insurance coverage seems to be good. There has been enough contact to stay informed but not excessive.
D.G., Customer
I've always been able to get very helpful information from my agent Patty Gogerty, and she got me all set up with all my Medicare plans three years ago and continues to steer me through my renewals (or changes) each year! Also, when I moved from Decatur, IL, to Lexington, SC, I was able to stay with my agent without any problems. I've had excellent service from this agency.

I met about a Medicare supplement policy. I enjoyed meeting with Patricia Gogerty and she was so helpful. I would definitely recommend my friends who are retiring to meet with her. I will admit I was not "ready" to go on Medicare, but we all reach retirement age whether we like it or not!! But, I was very glad someone referred me to meet with Patricia Gogerty. She put me at ease and walked me through exactly what I needed. She was great!!
J.H., Customer
You've always been able to answer all of our questions in a very professional way... and it speeds up the whole process of figuring out what insurance is the best
Linda B., customer since 2015
I can`t keep track of all the changes to my coverage. Patty takes care of that. She keeps me informed, then lets me make the decision. I like that.
G.N., Customer
Answered all my questions even when I asked them 2-3 times, discussed all my options but gave sound advice.
Customer since 2015
We like how you answer our questions. You always pick excellent Ins company's that fill our needs.

<p>Patty has taken care of being sure I have had the best coverage for the money for over 15 years. She always alerts me to any better coverage on her own. She takes the time to explain all the options to you and gives a clear picture. She is a dedicated and resourceful agent.</p>

I want to thank you for your time your patience and your knowledge and everything else that you did for us.
J.T., Customer
I liked the personal attention I received and all the research on different carriers that Patty did and then her recommendations / suggestions.
D.G., Customer
Patty Gogerty is just THE BEST!!!! We were so confused when we began going to her for advice on supplemental insurances for both my husband and myself. She guided us through the hoops and saved us hours and hours of stressful time... She did not push any one insurance at us, rather gave us our options with clear cut data and then waited for us to make our choices... I can't imagine navigating through this nightmare of benefits without a the person she is. She is able to navigate quickly through many computer screens and enter our information with immediate results.. Please, please do not eliminate this service.... Many, many folks would be lost and paying much more than they needed to. Plus, you have to understand there are millions of retired folks that don't even own a computer or iPhone... Thanks, Patty, for the GREAT service you provide and your love and compassion!
L.B., Customer
Patty Gogerty is always there when I need her. Very knowledgeable on the product and company she has selected for me, and makes me feel like I am the only client she has to deal with. Keep up the great job Patty !
