Here's what Patty's clients say!

I was in search of a new Medicare supplement plan when I got a call from Patricia's office. I met with her a few days later, and she helped me through the entire process of picking a new plan. I had been contemplating other changes for a month, but the choices started to confuse me. So, Patricia took the time to explain the differences to me and in no time a all, I had a new plan. I wish I had called her a month ago. Many thanks to you Patricia, and Sams/Hockaday.

Honesty. It is important to me that people give good solid information so I can make the best choice for myself, and that is what I get at Sams/Hockaday. I never fell like I'm just trying to be sold something just to get a sale, I really do feel like I matter. I get honest answers to any question I may ask.

Anything new is scary to me and most people. Your hands-on personal guidance was and is very much appreciated. I've gained a lot more knowledge and insight into how Medicare and supplements work just listening to Patty.

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
Very helpful service. Without the advice from Patty Gogerty, I don't know how we could navigate the complicated "mine field" of Medicare supplement and Part D insurance.
R.M., Customer
You always keep on top of my everything for me - letting me know when it is time to review and letting me know any changes. I appreciate that!
K.R., Customer
Because you have an older representative, I feel much more trusting. This person has not only seen and learned about all customers, but she has experienced her own life and understands closer to home the needs of those getting older.
L.L., Customer
Patti, If we have a question you either answer it or get back to us with the answer. We have not had any negative issues with Cynthia or myself. We can ask for no more. Thank you.
L.D., Customer
You're always available when we need your help. You're the expert on insurance. It's So much better having a person to help than checking on the computer for information. Thanks

L.S., Customer
I have always been greeted at the front desk with a smile, and It is the personal touch that Janet offers to her clients. It's like coming to visit a friend...and oh, also, discussing my insurance needs. lol Janet is so friendly, I never feel rushed out, how could anyone go anywhere else? My insurance needs are well handled. I never have to worry about my rates, coverage or claim forms. When I have concerns I can call Janet and she will fix it. It's great peace of mind. As for the first question, I have recommended Sams-Hockaday many times and will continue to do so. Thank you for a great service.

P.D., Customer
You showed up at my door before I was ready to get supplemental insurance. But I remembered you because of it. Then, before I signed with you I had tried to see if I qualified for any help with costs thru Human Services. I didn't, but I was told by a caseworker to check online for what was offered. When I mentioned your company, she said you were very competitive and up to date. She had a good report about you. You have been very attentive, friendly and helpful at all times.
