Very helpful with Medicare advantage. Explained the different plans in detail
Just like my husband's new Medicare Advantage plan, we give Douthat Insurance a 5-Star rating! Margaret helped us navigate all the choices for Medicare options in a very comfortable, professional, knowledgeable and low pressure environment. They are truly "by your side" through
Margaret was very helpful in information that I needed. She also told me to research some things before I decide what insurance to go with, and it helped my husband and I to make our decision. Always greeted with a smile from an Awesome Secretary.

Our agent explained coverage options clearly and found a better bundle than our previous carrier. Claims follow-up was prompt when we had a minor auto incident.
— Sarah M. · Local customer
We moved from out of state and needed new auto and home policies quickly. They walked us through local requirements and wind deductibles without pressure.
— James T. · Recent mover
Compared three carriers for homeowners and auto. Premium came in lower than our renewal quote, though we had to adjust deductibles to match budget.
— Priya K. · Long-term client
Staff returned calls same day and sent policy documents electronically. Would recommend for anyone shopping independent agents in the area.
— Michael R. · Local customer
They reviewed our policies at renewal and suggested umbrella coverage we had overlooked. No hard sell — just practical advice.
