Here's what Patty's clients say!

Patty has been very helpful in securing good insurance for us. We have already recommended her to friends.
W.J., 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.
K.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.
B.A., Customer
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.
L.L., Customer
Lead me in the right direction for helping me to go with what was best for me. I felt you helped me with choosing what options were best for my retirement. Thank you!
L.S., Customer
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
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
Patti made getting my Medicare needs so easy and answered all my questions. I am forever grateful.

Medicare decisions seemed very overwhelming but with the help of Patty everything fell into place!! Thank you Patty!!

Turning 65 is great...Medicare and supplements are very confusing for me. Patty made the decisions so easy and I feel confident she will continue to direct me. What a great asset to your team. Thanks Paaty!
D.D., Customer
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
Patty has been a great support for me with the supplemental insurance as well as helping me resolve some of my Medicare issues. She explained my insurance options in a way that anyone would be able to understand, which made it easier to make the right choice for me.
C.T., Customer
Sam Hockaday has been a blessing! With all the insurance confusion out there since Obamacare it was hard to find the right insurance for my specific needs but Patty G made it easy for us. She did all the work and continues to work for us. I am so pleased with Sam Hockaday ins that I send everyone that's needing help to them. Thank you Sam and Patty G for taking the stress out of our retirement changes for our insurance needs!! Richard and Frances
F.B., Customer
I liked the way Patricia helped me with my Medicare and supplemental insurance needs. She made it very easy and less confusing.
Customer since 2015
The insurance coverage seems to be good. There has been enough contact to stay informed but not excessive.
D.G., Customer
Honesty. It is important to me that people give good solid information so I can make the best choice for myself, and that is what I get at Sams/Hockaday. I never fell like I'm just trying to be sold something just to get a sale, I really do feel like I matter. I get honest answers to any question I may ask.
K.I., Customer
Speaking with Patty Gogarty helped us make some financial decisions which really helped us out
Patricia G., customer since 2013
Patty took a complicated Medicare sign-up and made it simple for both my wife and for me.
L.P., Customer
The fact is, Patty gave my husband and I both personal care and factual information based on our individual needs. She is one in a million and we are Blessed to have her on our team during these most difficult days of insurance findings..
L.B., Customer
I've always been able to get very helpful information from my agent Patty Gogerty, and she got me all set up with all my Medicare plans three years ago and continues to steer me through my renewals (or changes) each year! Also, when I moved from Decatur, IL, to Lexington, SC, I was able to stay with my agent without any problems. I've had excellent service from this agency.
Deborah F., customer since 2012
I can`t keep track of all the changes to my coverage. Patty takes care of that. She keeps me informed, then lets me make the decision. I like that.
G.N., Customer
First off, my wife and I feel that Patti Gogerty has a very good understanding of the Medicare supplement insurance field. Patti also impressed us with her focus on keeping the insurance costs low for her clients. Lastly, our office appointments went like clockwork. Patti had everything all laid out.
Customer since 2015
I feel like you take care of me needs in a very personal way
F.C., Customer
The Sams Hockaday Co always takes care of their clients. From being courteous and frienfly to finding the best deals available right down to sending holiday greeting cards. We are always treated like part of a big family. Who could ask for more?!
M.W., Customer
You guided me in the right direction and made the whole operation so much easier. Thank you.
L.B., Customer
Patty gogerty responds to our needs & updates us when needed
P.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
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.
L.L., Customer
direct and to the point. no checking this or that, knew and explained why recommendation was made
C.S., Customer
I like the personal one on one relationship Sams/Hockaday and all the agents have with all their clients.
S. B., Customer
Patty knows what I was looking for, and found it , and explained to me.
E.P., Customer
You do all the research on the plans that fit my needs. It would take me forever to get all the information and go through it.
T.G., 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're there when you're needed and always upbeat and helpful. You're comfortable to talk to and you left your customers you are indeed working on their best behalf....and we love ya.

I felt comfortable talking to Patty about my insurance options for life and supplemental insurance and getting her input
M.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! Linda & Harold Baldock
L.B., Customer
I like the personalized service I receive!
W.G., Customer
Patricia,my agent was very helpful in customizing a health plan to fit my needs.Comparing different choices,and explaining the pros and cons while not pushing me into any decisions. Her follow-up since signing has also been great!
