Thanks for all your help with my accounts!

Helpful, friendly, informed staff. Luke calls me with news and changes that I need to know about!
M.K., Customer
When we received the letter telling us after over 40 years that we would no longer have insurance we were at a complete loss. Luke helped us every step of the way to find the right plan for us. We can not thank him enough.
J. H., Customer
I have the feeling and belief that Luke was doing all he could to find a better insurance plan for me. THANKS !
Robert B., customer since 2011
Luke was always very pleasant a and answered all questions when asked. He was not pushy just told us what he had to offer and let us decide what was best for us. He even showed us pictures of baby Hazel when asked I had to beg him of course lol!
P.V., 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
Always helpful and get answers quickly for next.
C.V., Customer
It is nice to know that we can count on you to get us the best deal on our supplemental plans without us going crazy doing it for ourselves. You always call back in a timely manner to answer questions.we have recommended you to several others.

We always recommend Luke and Hockaday Insurance to everyone we know.
