Marilyn L., customer since 2014
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
I treasure your reliability. I know when I contact you you will respond and try to find the best coverage for us at am amount we can afford. You're always a pleasure to deal with and I'm so glad a friend referred me to you. I've shared with a lot of friends how happy we are with your service, professionalism and reliability.
J.B., Customer
Customer service and follow through - not just lip service.
C.L., Customer
The information and quote were direct and right to the point.
C.S., Customer
Trusting this company, Patty Gogerty specifically, to provide the appropriate supplement and prescription insurance to fit my needs takes a huge weight off my shoulders.
Customer since 2013
Patty is friendly and knowledgeable. She answers all our questions and concerns. We have referred friends and family to Sam's Hockaday and will continue to do so.
L.W., 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
Medicare decisions seemed very overwhelming but with the help of Patty everything fell into place!! Thank you Patty!!

F.B., Customer
We love working with you. If we have questions you always get back to us in a timely matter. You are friendly and outgoing.

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.

You are always helpful and take time to answer any concerns or questions we have.
A.K., 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 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.
M.K., Customer
Each year you check for the best fit for me. We make changes when necessary and I feel well covered.
N.C., 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

Patty is the reason we are with the company. If she were to move to a different company, we would move with her.

Very helpful and quick to get the process going.
S.B., 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 are always friendly and kind and always look out for me, trying to get me good coverage at a good rate.
D.G., Customer
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.
