TESTIMONIALS

Arielle, thank you SO much. I feel like you have been the only one that has reached out to me and helped me understand the next steps in this process. The time that you took with me, I appreciate so much. I could not ask for a better person at this time. Thank you so much again for everything you’ve done for me and I will be in touch.

I recently reached out for help choosing the best ACA plan and lucked out in reaching Summer, a “Navigator” listed on healthcare.gov. She drove over an hour to meet me at the local county library and spent well over another hour helping me choose the right plan. I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire process. I highly recommend Summer if you have any questions or concerns.
