K.S., Customer
I feel like you take care of me needs in a very personal way
F.C., Customer
Patty, you have helped Cynthia and myself to understand a little better what exactly Medicare is and how it works for us. I appreciate your patience with both of us. The ever changing rules are not easy to understand and you have helped us bridge the gaps of misunderstanding we have. We trust you to give us the correct advice.
L.D., Customer
Attention to detail. Patty is very helpful.
R.M., Customer
Very helpful, polite & knowledgeable.
J.H., Customer
You have been honest and saved me some money.
S.B., Customer
Made it so easy to understand, spent all the time we needed answering our many questions and guided us to choose good reputable insurance groups to fit our needs
Customer since 2015
I like the personal one on one relationship Sams/Hockaday and all the agents have with all their clients.
S. B., Customer
It was like one stop shopping. I went to Sams/Hockaday & Assoc. and sat down with an agent and by checking several companies I was able to find the best insurance that fit my needs and I didn't have to call any of the companies myself. I saved time and money and I got just what I wanted. Meducare supplement insurance, Medicare part D, and life insurance all in one stop. I feel good when I recommend this service to others.
K.I., 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 is so helpful and knowledgable. I know I can count on her.
S.J., Customer
great service & people
M.M., Customer
<p>Patty has taken care of being sure I have had the best coverage for the money for over 15 years. She always alerts me to any better coverage on her own. She takes the time to explain all the options to you and gives a clear picture. She is a dedicated and resourceful agent.</p>

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.
R.M., Customer

We felt that we could trust your company and you to make the right recommendations to us. And we were well pleased with your recommendations. When it comes to insurance it's very important to us to be able to trust and feel comfortable with our agent.
P.D., Customer
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. I will admit I was not "ready" to go on Medicare, but we all reach retirement age whether we like it or not!! But, I was very glad someone referred me to meet with Patricia Gogerty. She put me at ease and walked me through exactly what I needed. She was great!!
J.H., Customer
You do all the research on the plans that fit my needs. It would take me forever to get all the information and go through it.
T.G., Customer
Patti made getting my Medicare needs so easy and answered all my questions. I am forever grateful.
J.S., Customer
Being able to accomplish things over the phone and/or on-line since I live several miles away.
P.J., Customer
You listened and were patient and thorough with your explanations. I've already recommended you to several people.
R.S., 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.
Customer since 2015
Everything was ready when we got there and she always takes time to answer any questions.
P.T., Customer
Patty Gogerty is always there when I need her. Very knowledgeable on the product and company she has selected for me, and makes me feel like I am the only client she has to deal with. Keep up the great job Patty !
M. L., Customer
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.
K.I., Customer
You always take care of us with getting the right health insurance. Thanks for all the help

We really enjoy Patty for her efficiency and honesty. I recently recommended her to my brother. I told him that she can answer any questions he may have. Thanks, Patty

Patti always answers our many questions when we ask. I also appreciate the updates and/or changes thru out the year we receive via e-mails. You make it easy to navigate this thing called retirement. Thanks.
L.D., Customer
I have been nothing but very satisfied with the service i have been given. First, special shoutout to Patty, who has treated me like family - answered all my questions as soon as possible and just been a good friend looking out for a "senior". Also, when I call the office whoever answers the phone have always been very polite and helpful. Actually have recommended you more than once.

I can always call my insurance rep Patty when I have questions and she gets backto me immediately with answes and help. It is very reassuring to me.

You are always there if I have questions. I have seen the stats and figures through visits with you and feel I have a leg up on offers coming thru the mail. I appreciate the yearly check in with me to make sure I'm at the best place.

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.

I have and continue to refer my friends and family to Patty for help with their medicare supplement plans. She helped me get a lower rate on my supplement just last week. I appreciate all the help she has given me and I know my friends do too.
