Here's what Laura's clients say!

Love the low copays on our meds
T.S., Customer
Thank you Laura for all your help and continued support I think we made the right choice thank you Hockaday insurance
C.H., Customer
First I did not have to contact Sam's Hockaday first. Your representative was out walking my street looking for clients. Second the support, advise, and service I have received has been better than I had expected. Very satisfied
C.M., Customer
Laura Pecina served us very well. She was all of the following - friendly, professional, approachable, and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable asking any questions, her answers were thorough, and well explained. I'm so glad she came to us, I was putting off shopping for insurance. She came to our house without an appointment, and I'm very glad she did.
J.D., Customer
Our forms were ready, they were expecting us and when we gave our name they seemed as if they had known us for a very long time. The transaction was quick and well explained. The staff was very professional yet very friendly. Thank you so much!
J. M., Customer
I like the fact that you are local and I feel I can contact you with any questions or problems and I will get a quick response.
Cynthia S., customer since 2015
Always know we are in good hands with Laura looking after our needs.
G.C., Customer
Personal attention. Staying on top of the ever changing health care industry, which can be time consuming.
D.S., Customer
Directed us to the best premiums for our health coverage, and you made it easy to understand all the details.
C.W., Customer
I haven't really had much interaction with anyone since I got signed up with CSI so it's hard to answer this question.
J.M., Customer
It's overwhelming when you have to change health ins when you've had the same company for years. But you had all the answers to switching to Medicare & made Roger & I both feel better about it.
K.R., Customer
All was handled extremely well and we are absolutely going with the plan you offered as soon as we are able to leave our current holder without penalty. You guys are a 10!!
J.G., Customer
Checked all sources to get us the best coverage at the best cost.
D.T., Customer
We are totally pleased with the service we have received from Sams Hockaday. Laura Pecina has reviewed our policies every year to determine if we are getting the best rates.
K.F., Customer
You made it easy by coming to my home to discuss options for a Medicare Supplement, explained the choices and providers clearly so I could make the best choice for my needs, went above and beyond to help me select the best drug plan for my needs, provided phone numbers and web sites so I could finalize my choices, and followed up afterwards to make sure there were no problems. And when I thanked Laura Pecina for her efforts, she said she was just doing her job. I greatly appreciate both Laura Pecina and Sams/Hockaday, and will be proud to recommend them to others.
B.N., Customer
Came to our home and explained everything to our satisfaction.

Excellent service. We always leave feeling that all our questions have been answered. Very confident in knowing that if changes need to be made Laura is aware of them and has our best interests at heart.

Laura is so easy to relate to. She takes time to answer questions and gives her knowledge on your concerns. So glad I have her as my agent.
J.L., Customer
You were very professional. It was obvious you put your client's interests first. You were not the least bit pushy. I have already made recommendations for your office to acquaintances. My doctor wanted to know if anyone in Decatur specializes in insurance and benefits and I told her about your group.
N.Q., Customer
Laura, very pleasant and works very hard for you ,to get the best coverage a the lowest possible cost.
M.W., Customer
You were very friendly and easy to talk to. I feel you are very knowledgeable about your policies. I like the idea of being able to talk to someone face to face. Also you didn't hound me. You gave me time to make my decision & call you back. Thank you.
