    I've worked with [the Santa Ana office] for 12 years and they have always been extremely responsive. Whenever I have any kind of insurance question, they provide immediate help and guidance. You don't get this kind of personal service from just anyone.
    Regional Controller
    The team is innovative, on top of what's happening in the marketplace, and good at negotiating - particularly in regard to Employee Benefits. I've worked with other brokers but, in the end, [this team’s] specialized knowledge and service deliver the most cost-effective solutions.
    Corporate Director of Human Resources
    [This team] is well-versed in the insurance industry. They are proactive regarding changes in our industry and health insurance changes which may affect our business. They are always on top of the market, looking out for our best interests.
    Controller
    Medicare sounds great when you hear about what it can do, but when you start to dig in and see all the different choices that have to be made, it can become very daunting. Bill is extremely knowledgeable about all the options you have and how your choices will affect your care and your cost. He's patient and easy to work with. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate his guidance.
    I so appreciate Bill’s knowledge. He’s always so helpful and patient with all my questions even the dumb ones, I seem to recall he said once to me “there’s never a dumb question” He quoted and placed several of our employees and my Husband, my mom and my own Medicare plan. I have before and will continue to refer people to him that have questions about enrolling or changing their Medicare plan. He’s a pleasure to work with.
