I appreciate the help we get from you.
D.W., Customer
Took time with prospective customers, explained each plan and made your recommendation as to which plan suited them best. Each person that we told them about Patty has become a satisfied customer.
D.S., 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.

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

N.S., Customer
You showed up at my door before I was ready to get supplemental insurance. But I remembered you because of it. Then, before I signed with you I had tried to see if I qualified for any help with costs thru Human Services. I didn't, but I was told by a caseworker to check online for what was offered. When I mentioned your company, she said you were very competitive and up to date. She had a good report about you. You have been very attentive, friendly and helpful at all times.
Customer since 2015

R.M., Customer
Patty Gogerty is the ABSOLUTE BEST person around to discuss healthcare for seniors! My husband and I are both nurses and are inundated with insurance "plans" and things wanting our money... She is smart, knowledgable, and available to her clients... We have told many people about her and what she can do for them, but many are skeptical, to say the least, with all we have coming at us daily..... We will never change! Give 'em heck Patty! Linda & Harold Baldock
