Here's what Patty's clients say!

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.
V.B., Customer
We Have already referred people. I like having local people to call if there's a problem . You fill out the paper work and make it much easier for us.
B.B., 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 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.

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.

<p>Very prompt in getting back to me. Explained everything explicitly. Very happy with Patty!</p>
Karen B., customer since 2015
I have always been greeted at the front desk with a smile, and It is the personal touch that Janet offers to her clients. It's like coming to visit a friend...and oh, also, discussing my insurance needs. lol Janet is so friendly, I never feel rushed out, how could anyone go anywhere else? My insurance needs are well handled. I never have to worry about my rates, coverage or claim forms. When I have concerns I can call Janet and she will fix it. It's great peace of mind. As for the first question, I have recommended Sams-Hockaday many times and will continue to do so. Thank you for a great service.
Customer since 2013
Your help has been very beneficial and given me confidence to know that any help I need with Medicare is just a phone call away. I can't thank you enough for that.
D.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>
Linda H., customer since 1996
It is obvious you know your stuff. Glad you do because I do not have the energy to do the research.
M.M., Customer
Patty was very patient and understood my needs for medical insurance. She was kind and took time to understand my situation, my budget, and gave me assorted policies to make a good decision for me. I appreciate her professionalism and kindness.
C. A., Customer
I always feel confident that you have recommended the best solutions for my needs. Thank you.
J.N., Customer
At Sams/Hockaday Insurance you get the best from the best. It's nice to know that there are agents out there that take pride in their work and care for the wellbeing of their clients. Everything is explained in detail and you are fitted with the best group for your needs. Plus if the rates are raising the agents will find a new company with a lower premium but carries the same great coverage. What more can a client ask for!
Marilynn W., customer since 2015
You explained my options and helped me make decisions based on what I needed. I really appreciate that and your knowledge. Thank you!
L.B., Customer
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.
D.S., Customer
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.

We feel Patty takes the time and effort to assess our needs.

I have already recommended Patty to others and even brought one friend in for a consultation and he ended up purchasing insurance.
C. G., Customer
Patty Gogerty was very personable, informative, and thorough. I have already recommended her to a new client.
R.H., Customer
Patty Gogerty is the ABSOLUTE BEST person around to discuss healthcare for seniors! My husband and I are both nurses and are inundated with insurance "plans" and things wanting our money... She is smart, knowledgable, and available to her clients... We have told many people about her and what she can do for them, but many are skeptical, to say the least, with all we have coming at us daily..... We will never change! Give 'em heck Patty! Linda & Harold Baldock
L.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

You always take care of us with getting the right health insurance. Thanks for all the help

Your company continues to give great customer service. That is the mainstay of an exceptional company. The employees all must share in that belief which makes them exceptional as well. Keep up the good work!
