Here's what our clients say…

Patty Gogerty
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.
