What a great find in JANIS LAKKEES @ iCare4Seniors ... I had less than a week to change my Medicare plan (deadline Apr 1, 2026). I spent days & many hours with my United Healthcare rep as well as my doctors' offices ... with no solution. THEN I FOUND JANIS LAKKEES (after a brief online search for a Medicare broker). OMG She answered my call quickly and began to work for me. Within 24 hours, she found my perfect Medicare plan!!! She knows her business and how to get it done. Janis is professional, friendly, and so very efficient. I highly recommend her to family and friends.

We are incredibly grateful for Janice and the exceptional care she showed our family. After an unexpected change in my 86-year-old mom’s insurance created a very stressful situation, Janice stepped in with compassion, knowledge, and true dedication. From our very first meeting, she listened carefully, understood my mom’s needs, and worked tirelessly to correct the issue — even without earning anything in return.Janice goes above and beyond, treating you like family and making sure you receive the best possible coverage. We truly appreciate her outstanding customer service and highly recommend her.

Janis Lakkees is a consummate professional who really cares about her clients! She takes the time to get to know you, your needs, and your goals to help tailor the perfect Medicare policy for you!Then she takes the time to explain the policy, and system, so that you walk away truly understanding everything! And almost more importantly, she is there for you after you sign up as well!I give Janis my highest recommendation and more importantly, my trust, in navigating the almost incomprehensible Medicare system!Call her! I promise you won’t be disappointed!Jim

After so many years with employer paid health care , I was so worried about switching to Medicare, picking the wrong supplemental plan, paying more than I should, getting stuck in something not right for me…Luckily, by chance, someone recommended Janis. I met with her today and what a game changer. She took time to explain all available plans regardless if I was considering them or not, to be sure I had all the information. She walked me through all the plans, the options, why some offered more than others and what they each cost and even when I should reevaluate. She explained why it made sense to pay more for some plans but not others. She went through the list of my favorite doctors to be sure they were all in-network, she verified my one prescription was covered, and where I could get it cheaper while using the plan…I walked out with a folder full of information, a supplement plan that I’m very happy with and even some homework as I still have to decide on a dental plan. She is patient, super sweet, extremely knowledgeable, and full of information . She took the time to get to know me and what I was comfortable with. Never rushed me and by the time she was done, she had already covered my list of questions I had come in with. I wish there were more than 5 stars to rate her! Highly recommend her. 😁

It was such a pleasure meeting Janis. She was so very helpful and so very knowledgeable of the insurance business. She directed me to the most financially beneficial option for me and Medicare. In the end, she told me it was less expensive to stay on my husband'sInsurance. Her honesty and integrity speaks volumes. I recommend her for any insurance needs you may have.

Where do I begin? I live in Torrance.One year into Medicare on a plan that was costing me $2400. a year, plus co-pays, I was so happy that it was less than what I had been paying prior to Medicare. Ah, finally I was liberated from astronomical medical insurance.However, one day while my cousin and I were comparing our plans, I was blown away at her plan. My cousin lives in Rancho Cucamonga and I asked my cuz if Janis took people in Torrance and she gave me Janis' number.I called her and she returned my call immediately and we met. You know that book we get EVERY year from Medicare? Well after one visit she made me Medicare knowledgeable and set me up with the best plan for my area. The transition was seamless.But it doesn't stop there. She is a service provider that provides service AFTER she signed me up. Throughout the 3 years, whenever I had periodic questions about how do I get this or that, or where do I call for this, a call or text to Janis and she replied and results and answers were mine. When enrollment came around, I'd call her to ask if my plan was still the best and she'd summarize the changes in a short call.I recently had some medical encounters and I left her a long voice-mail and she responded within 24 hours. I ended our call by telling her she is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with "Listen closely as our menu options have changed" followed by long waits while listening to voice-mail music, ads and go to their website and good luck on finding the answer to your questions or the location where you can ask.She's the real deal. No I am not her "personal" friend, I'm a customer, but when you talk to her it sure feels like a really good friend that spills the nuggets of knowledge. She's professional, efficient and so approachable. Try her, you'll see for yourself. Thank you Janis for all your help.PS sorry for the long review, but I like to write about unicorns.
