Here's what Patty's clients say!

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!

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!

Patty, You always are so knowledgeable and give me exceptional service way beyond and I am so blessed and thankful for you! I would highly recommend you. Thank you so very much
K.S., 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!
