Here's what Patty's clients say!

The most specific thing that I liked about dealing with Patricia Gogerty is her command of the facts about the insurance industry. In my case I needed health insurance to go with my Medicare and Patricia had all of the answers. She is also very price conscious. My wife and I have appreciated her guidance in dealing with supplemental insurances.

K.D., Customer
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!

B.C., Customer
Your quick and efficient response to a client is what Sams Hockday is know for in this area and the fact that you always keep on top of client needs. I always appreciate that you call me at renewal if you see changes that I need to be aware of, and do what ever it takes to keep my premium at the lowest point. Your employees are always great to deal with . You are always at the top of my referral list ! Keep up the great work.

Patti, You actually LISTENED to me and helped me. Medicare was so new to me -- I knew nothing. You took your time and explained things to me and listened to me when I asked questions. You took your time with me. I wasn't rushed. I actually felt important and that you were very concerned with helping me!! I would definitely recommend you to all my friends or to anyone who is applying for Medicare benefits. Jackie Hagan

Sam Hockaday has been a blessing! With all the insurance confusion out there since Obamacare it was hard to find the right insurance for my specific needs but Patty G made it easy for us. She did all the work and continues to work for us. I am so pleased with Sam Hockaday ins that I send everyone that's needing help to them. Thank you Sam and Patty G for taking the stress out of our retirement changes for our insurance needs!! Richard and Frances

Even though I live out of state now, I still receive your personal, yet professional, expertise. It's great to have a trusted agent who is just an email or a phone call away. I always feel a little more confident once I talk to Patty.
D.F., Customer
The thing that was most helpful to us was the knowledge you have about all the Medicare supplemental insurance programs and Medicare part D pharmacy programs that are out there which helped us make our decisions much easier, without the hassle of contacting them ourselves. The quick, friendly service was also appreciated.
