Schedule Your Appointment

NOTE: If Patty is your agent and you can't find a time on Patty's calendar, please do NOT choose a different agent to meet with, as this will complicate and slow down your enrollment.

Please call our office if you run into scheduling issues.


Here's what Patty's clients say!

The coverage and options process was explained thoroughly and simply. Too many insurance agents speak "insurance hoo-hah", and that's why they don't get my business! In business, as in life, it's always best to keep it simple.
Skip H., customer since 2015
I liked the way Patricia helped me with my Medicare and supplemental insurance needs. She made it very easy and less confusing.
Customer since 2015
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.

L.D., 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
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

I've always been able to get very helpful information from my agent Patty Gogerty, and she got me all set up with all my Medicare plans three years ago and continues to steer me through my renewals (or changes) each year!
