Here's what Luke's clients say!

Answered my questions quickly, made it convenient for me, & got me a plan that benefited me.
P.F., Customer
I was impressed with the 20 o/o coverage priemium for Medicare and the drug coverage. With my original drug coverage plan going up you saved me quite a lot other wise I wouldn't have been able to afford it or the Medicare supplement. Thank you.

You answered all of my questions when transferring from the State to what you could offer. Thank you so much! I have recommended you to several friends.

R.H., Customer
Luke I very much appreciate your hands on approach in dealing with clients. It makes me feel that you have a real concern for those you serve. I look forward to the yearly visits for my medicare updates and renewals. I also feel confident that should some unforseen issue arise where I needed assistance I feel you would have a genuine concern in helping me getting it resolved. Also when my wife reaches 65 you will have another added customer.

You set me up with good, economical health coverage as well as life insurance. I have been in the hospital for 4 surgeries since August, 2015. I have not paid anything.. the insurance covered everhing. It's been nice to not worry about that.
G.J., Customer
I was just glad to hear about the John Hancock long term care/life Insurance policy they offer. My husband had complained for years trying to get me to invest in stocks, but I refused. Boy was he shocked when I immediately decided to sock some away in this policy. Now he has nothing more to complain about!

Luke has always been willing to go above and beyond to help solve any issues I have had to receive reimbursements from the insurance companies.

Luke was friendly and low key.(not the high pressure type which turns me off.) Was knowledgeable and provide timely service.
W. F., Customer
All questions were answered and completely explained about my existing policy. Any other options that were available to me were also presented as an alternative to what I have. Keep up the good work.
R.C., Customer
I retired June 30, 2016 and Jim and I each needed a supplemental medical policy and a prescription plan. Luke walked us through this process. His recommendations were "perfect" for us....he set the supplemental policy and gave us step by step instructions on getting set up with the prescription plan. We ran into some "glitches" with the prescription plan and he returned our calls immediately. He never made us feel he was "too busy." We could not have been more pleased with the ease of this transition and Luke's professionalism.
S.W., Customer
Luke helped me find an affordable Medicare, part D plan. I appreciate his effort!
R.B., Customer
Luke, you came along just at the right time when we had to choose our own insurance and you sold us on your easy going manner and the fact we had many choices in your company to choose from.

M. A., Customer
As well as being very professional, Luke handled my needs and requests on a personal level, though we do not know each other personally. As the process began, I had a few questions and called Luke for clarification. Luke is very accessible and if he is not available when I call, he has always returned my calls in a timely manner. I will be happy to recommend Luke Hockaday to anyone who nneds to shop for insurance policy coverage.
