Client Testimonials

“Out of all of the brokers I work with, Ertel & Company is the only one that has made my job consistently easier every year. Which is extremely helpful for an HR department of one (with 130 employees)… There is not one person at Ertel & Company I have ever run across who has not been extremely pleasant and helpful.”

Nick Colby, President & CEO – Colby Equipment

“Last year one the Ertel physician assistants suggested that I have a DEXA bone density scan due to my body stature. I have no family history of osteoporosis, and was only 54 years old at the time, so my health insurance would not cover the scan (not until age 65). I decided to have it done anyhow…To everyone’s surprise (myself, my primary care physician and the Ertel PA), I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Fortunately, I was able to start my medication 10 years sooner than I would have otherwise.”

“Ertel & Company shows up for us time and time again in every situation and every step. They understand that we are not in the benefits business and make our ventures into their world enjoyable. While I know we are not their only client, they make us feel like we are and their top priority. We share a true partnership, and we couldn’t ask for more in a business partner that is truly more like family.“
