      Melissa is beyond a rare gem! United healthcare got me in touch with her. After verifying her OK licensing online (please do this for anyone) and researching her, she drove in to meet my dad and I in Tulsa. I’ve been on Medicare 10 years, my dad just starting in after retiring from the corporate world. Melissa is beyond fantastic and knows her stuff! She verified our doctors, scripts, and all preferences and helped us choose the best plans for our needs. The benefits are something you can’t pass on. Dental and vision with Medicare? Yes!!!!! Plus FREE OTC products throughout the year, crazy low costs, and great coverage. Melissa is sincere, knowledgeable, but has a heart for what she does that is so rare. She truly is called to help people, she wants to genuinely be your agent and help you, not just get a commission and move on, which I’ve seen a lot, but not with her. She loves what she does, and it shows. You see her heart for service in what she does. It does not cost you anything to use her, and so many do their Medicare on their own not knowing the mistakes they make. Calling Medicare & insurance companies will not get you the knowledge you get with Melissa. I wish I found her when I first started, but so glad I have now.

      Melissa is an absolute expert when it comes to Medicare. She has taught me so much about Medicare and I’m grateful for her help. She always does what’s best for her clients even if that means telling them to keep their current plan.

      Melissa was referred by a questionable source (my X) but since he was so happy with her and I was ready for Medicare, I contacted her. She is amazing, the best agent and person to know! Every chance I get to recommend or brag on Melissa I do. Thank you for showing you care💗

      Melissa – Last year you converted us from a Medicare supplement plan to an advantage plan. The advantage plan has saved us a lot of money while still meeting all our health care insurance needs. A big THANK YOU!

      This is my second year with Melissa, and I am so thankful I ran into her at Wal*Mart. The year before I met her, I paid for almost everything and she told me I could get a dual complete plan, and everything would be covered. In my opinion, she deserves a medal for all she does. Even now when I see her, she is always so friendly and calls…

      This is my second year with Melissa, and I am so thankful I ran into her at Wal*Mart. The year before I met her, I paid for almost everything and she told me I could get a dual complete plan, and everything would be covered. In my opinion, she deserves a medal for all she does. Even now when I see her, she is always so friendly and calls me by name. Not many people that helps as many as she does would remember names, but then not everyone is Melissa! Thank you so much!

      I have been with Melissa for at least 2 years now and she is amazing! Anytime I have a problem she is right there, and she goes to bat for me with companies if I need it! And if I don’t understand something, she will talk me thru it till I do!
