I met about a Medicare supplement policy. I enjoyed meeting with Patricia Gogerty and she was so helpful. I would definitely recommend my friends who are retiring to meet with her.

She put me at ease and walked me through exactly what I needed. She was great!!

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.

D.R., 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!
L.B., Customer
Patty got back to me right away and is working to help me find a plan. I would recommend Sam's Hockaday because I know that some knowledgeable people work there.
D.K., Customer
I always feel confident that you have recommended the best solutions for my needs. Thank you.
J.N., Customer
Patty explained the system in simple terms so I could understand, gave me lots of options to choose from, and didn't pressure me. She was friendly and kind.
R.H., Customer
Friendly service, and helped us choose the best insurance policies that fit our needs, both with life ins. And health ins. Policies. Thank you!
K.S., Customer
You have been honest and saved me some money.
S.B., Customer
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
J.H., Customer
I have already recommended Patty to others and even brought one friend in for a consultation and he ended up purchasing insurance.
