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.

K.M., 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
We have received great quality service from Luke and staff while checking into insurance as Seniors. We do feel you truly care about our needs and have made us feel very welcome.
C.V., Customer
Luke suggested a change to my drug supplement insurance which was not only a lower monthly premium, but resulted in getting my prescriptions free.
