Schedule Your Appointment

Due to numerous plan changes for the 2025 Annual Enrollment Period, combined with an increased number of clients we are meeting with, availability is very limited through Dec. 7. Please call me to schedule your appointment.

NOTE: If Patty is your agent and you can't find a time on Patty's calendar, please do NOT choose a different agent to meet with, as this will complicate and slow down your enrollment.

Please call our office if you run into scheduling issues.


Here's what Patty's clients say!

You do all the research on the plans that fit my needs. It would take me forever to get all the information and go through it.
T.G., Customer
I met about a Medicare supplement policy. I enjoyed meeting with Patricia Gogerty and she was so helpful. I would definitely recommend my friends who are retiring to meet with her. I will admit I was not "ready" to go on Medicare, but we all reach retirement age whether we like it or not!! But, I was very glad someone referred me to meet with Patricia Gogerty. She put me at ease and walked me through exactly what I needed. She was great!!

Thanks Miss Gogerty, I feel you have supplied me with a policy that fits my needs at a competitive price. I appreciate your knowledge and various resourses you have to accomplish that goal. Thank you for your concern and hard work.
S.G., Customer
I find Patty Gogerty to be very honest and straight forward. She's explained everything to us in language that I could understand. Very nice experience.
M.R., Customer
The thing that was most helpful to us was the knowledge you have about all the Medicare supplemental insurance programs and Medicare part D pharmacy programs that are out there which helped us make our decisions much easier, without the hassle of contacting them ourselves. The quick, friendly service was also appreciated.

At Sams/Hockaday Insurance you get the best from the best. It's nice to know that there are agents out there that take pride in their work and care for the wellbeing of their clients. Everything is explained in detail and you are fitted with the best group for your needs. Plus if the rates are raising the agents will find a new company with a lower premium but carries the same great coverage. What more can a client ask for!

It has been a long time since I had to look for insurance coverage as I was covered by my employer. Now that I am going on Medicare and will no longer have insurance coverage by my employer, I needed someone with knowledge in the field to help me. Pat was not only very knowledgeable, she took the time to research the different companies and found me the best coverage for the cost.

F.C., 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.
Customer since 2015
You've always been able to answer all of our questions in a very professional way... and it speeds up the whole process of figuring out what insurance is the best

P.T., 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 2013
I have already recommended Patty to others and even brought one friend in for a consultation and he ended up purchasing insurance.
C. G., Customer
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
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
Patricia is so knowledgeable and helpful. I felt confident I was making the right supplemental insurance decision.
L.W., Customer
I appreciate the help we get from you.
