W.G., 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, you were recommended by a co-worker of mine and I've never been disappointed. I appreciate you always getting back to me and in knowing you are trying to stay on top of things in order to get us the best and most economical insurance coverage possible for our budget. We appreciate all you do, much more than you realize.
J.B., Customer
Customer service and follow through - not just lip service.
C.L., Customer

Agent is very knowledgeable and the response time from agent is rapid when a customer needs answers to a question or in need of forms or information regarding insurance needs.
K.H., 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
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
