Here's what Patty's clients say!

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

Customer since 2015
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.

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
Patty explained the differences between the policies and the companies offering them so I would have as much information as possible to make a decision about my insurance. I really appreciate that.

Patty took a complicated Medicare sign-up and made it simple for both my wife and for me.
L.P., 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
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
Even though I live out of state now, I still receive your personal, yet professional, expertise. It's great to have a trusted agent who is just an email or a phone call away. I always feel a little more confident once I talk to Patty.
D.F., Customer
Payed attention and looked for the best policy for me.
R.S., Customer
Always ready to answer questions and help wherever needed.

I have been nothing but very satisfied with the service i have been given.

K.S., Customer
Patricia was good about explaining the insurance policies. And patience with our questions
J.R., Customer
I was in search of a new Medicare supplement plan when I got a call from Patricia's office. I met with her a few days later, and she helped me through the entire process of picking a new plan. I had been contemplating other changes for a month, but the choices started to confuse me. So, Patricia took the time to explain the differences to me and in no time a all, I had a new plan. I wish I had called her a month ago. Many thanks to you Patricia, and Sams/Hockaday.
R.M., Customer
Have always gotten back to me promptly. Never feel rushed when talking to you. Very good at explaining everything.
Customer since 2014
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
Your quick and efficient response to a client is what Sams Hockday is know for in this area and the fact that you always keep on top of client needs. I always appreciate that you call me at renewal if you see changes that I need to be aware of, and do what ever it takes to keep my premium at the lowest point. Your employees are always great to deal with . You are always at the top of my referral list ! Keep up the great work.
