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
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 2014
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
Patricia is very helpful with details of what we need for coverage of services
M.M., Customer
Maximum involvement by Patty Gogerty in finding the best products that suit my needs, and a minimal involvement required on my part!

M.H., 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.

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 ever changing rules are not easy to understand and you have helped us bridge the gaps of misunderstanding we have. We trust you to give us the correct advice.
L.D., 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
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
