I had ALL my questions answered in a way that I understood. Since going through this new phase of my life, trying to understand Medicare and how it works!
K.S., Customer
Your knowledge of all insurance was mind easing after. Trying to go through all the searching on our own. Would much rather visit with you and get all the answers needed.

The personal way we meet and communicated with each other. Easy access to texting if any questions.

All was handled extremely well and we are absolutely going with the plan you offered as soon as we are able to leave our current holder without penalty. You guys are a 10!!
J.G., Customer
You made it easy by coming to my home to discuss options for a Medicare Supplement, explained the choices and providers clearly so I could make the best choice for my needs, went above and beyond to help me select the best drug plan for my needs, provided phone numbers and web sites so I could finalize my choices, and followed up afterwards to make sure there were no problems. And when I thanked Laura Pecina for her efforts, she said she was just doing her job. I greatly appreciate both Laura Pecina and Sams/Hockaday, and will be proud to recommend them to others.
B.N., Customer
I felt every effort was put into fulfilling my needs for my insurance. Since I have diabetes I felt I was getting the best possible help I could get.
D.H., Customer
I haven't really had much interaction with anyone since I got signed up with CSI so it's hard to answer this question.
J.M., Customer
You were very friendly and easy to talk to. I feel you are very knowledgeable about your policies. I like the idea of being able to talk to someone face to face. Also you didn't hound me. You gave me time to make my decision & call you back. Thank you.
J.M., Customer
You were informative, professional, and led me with a gentle hand.. I would highly reccommend Sams Hockaday.
