First off, my wife and I feel that Patti Gogerty has a very good understanding of the Medicare supplement insurance field. Patti also impressed us with her focus on keeping the insurance costs low for her clients. Lastly, our office appointments went like clockwork. Patti had everything all laid out.
Customer since 2015
It has been a long time since I had to look for insurance coverage as I was covered by my employer. Now that I am going on Medicare and will no longer have insurance coverage by my employer, I needed someone with knowledge in the field to help me. Pat was not only very knowledgeable, she took the time to research the different companies and found me the best coverage for the cost.

I know a little about a lot of things but unfortunately insurance isn't one of them. I appreciate your office, and especially Patty, making our choices for insurance simpler to understand. She is able to take the guesswork out of this very important decision.

Customer since 2015
Was very friendly and helpful . Pat went the extra mile to help me and I appreciate it very much.
P.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!
L.B., Customer
I text a lot because I do not hear well. She always texts me back. She stays on top of our ins. Trying to keep premiums down.

We appreciate Patty because she always takes into consideration each of our needs individually. I feel that it is important because each of our needs is different. Consequently, we each are assigned to a different carrier. Thank you Patty.

Of course, it's the local based feel of community and personal customer service that is always a winner.
