We have been exceptionally pleased to work with Sams/Hockaday and with Luke Hockaday. Luke has always been professional but also very personable and you feel like he really cares!

Gary B., customer since 2012
I retired June 30, 2016 and Jim and I each needed a supplemental medical policy and a prescription plan. Luke walked us through this process. His recommendations were "perfect" for us....he set the supplemental policy and gave us step by step instructions on getting set up with the prescription plan. We ran into some "glitches" with the prescription plan and he returned our calls immediately. He never made us feel he was "too busy." We could not have been more pleased with the ease of this transition and Luke's professionalism.
S.W., Customer
You always make me feel so welcome. No question I ask seems stupid to you, at least you don't act like it!! Your advice to me concerning supplements and drug plans has always been so good!!!!
M.K., Customer
You looked until you found the right plan for me and my wife. You explained everything very thoroughly to us. Thank You !
