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.

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.

The coverage and options process was explained thoroughly and simply. Too many insurance agents speak "insurance hoo-hah", and that's why they don't get my business! In business, as in life, it's always best to keep it simple.

N.C., Customer
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.
K.I., 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

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.D., 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
Patrician Gogerty was very patient and explained the options that I had. I trusted her advice.
D.H., 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
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 is the reason we are with the company. If she were to move to a different company, we would move with her.
J.A., Customer
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
You're always available when we need your help. You're the expert on insurance. It's So much better having a person to help than checking on the computer for information. Thanks
B.B., Customer
It is obvious you know your stuff. Glad you do because I do not have the energy to do the research.
M.M., Customer
You keep track of my insurance needs and if I have the best coverage for my money recommending changes when advisable.
L.H., 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
Customer since 2015
Patty is so helpful and knowledgable. I know I can count on her.
S.J., Customer
I have been nothing but very satisfied with the service i have been given. First, special shoutout to Patty, who has treated me like family - answered all my questions as soon as possible and just been a good friend looking out for a "senior". Also, when I call the office whoever answers the phone have always been very polite and helpful. Actually have recommended you more than once.
M.D., Customer
Patti, If we have a question you either answer it or get back to us with the answer. We have not had any negative issues with Cynthia or myself. We can ask for no more. Thank you.
L.D., Customer
Patti made getting my Medicare needs so easy and answered all my questions. I am forever grateful.
