I've had a very good experience with David as my insurance broker. He knows the ins and outs of the health care system and how to navigate them. He's a good communicator and prompt with his replies. He's also friendly, courteous, and a genuinely nice person. As an additional service to his clients, he sends out regular emails with useful information, sometimes about things unrelated to insurance. For example, David warned me about the big Google/Apple/Facebook data breach before I even heard it in the news. I recommend David Atman to my friends and family knowing that they will appreciate him too. Give him a call, you won't regret it.

David came recommended to us by another family friend first and we have since worked with him for all our other insurance needs -- which speaks volumes. He is super responsive and thoughtful in all of our engagements -- we value how patiently he listens to our needs and provides options -- with utmost care. He is warm, personable and genuinely connects his customers with love and respect -- in the old world way -- which is a rarity. Highly recommend him for your insurance needs.

David Brabender is a very professional knowledgeable health insurance broker. He assisted me with obtaining a cost effective Medicare Supplement plan and dental-vision plan just before I retired in August 2017. During succeeding years, David Brabender successfully got me on a no cost Medicare Advantage plan which covered all of my health care needs and prescription drug needs. David knows the health care market extremely well, and he will assist anyone to get the best health plan possible. 3-20-25

Very informative and no pressure. I just wanted to talk to a human being and have a real person that I could trust to help me get the right insurance for my needs. He is truly a Medicare Insurance expert. After doing all of the research he asked me to do, I found that some of it I could just sign up for myself. To be fair I called him back to let him know what plans I had selected. He agreed with most of the choices but went on to solve a couple of other issues and cover the medicare supplemental options. It cost me nothing more to have him in my corner so I had him do the processing. Would highly recommend. Thank you David

David: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. You were able to clarify my wife Kerstin's health insurance concerns and facilitate her getting some much needed medical coverage. We would and will recommend you most highly to anyone we know who is needing expert council in the astounding maze of acquiring health insurance in the USA. Like I said at the beginning: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! JH, Ph.D.

You could not ask for somebody to be more knowledgeable and helpful than David. He really was helpful in everyway possible. We were with another company for our medical insurance and they didnot have time to help my wife. David helped us switch and my wife got her help she needed in a few months, life changing. Best move you could ever make!

David is AMAZING! We have been trying to navigate the rough waters of health insurance on our own (I am an independent contractor and my husband will be venturing in to becoming a full time artist in a few months). In just a short phone call today, David explained all of the options and nuances of the insurance world we are heading in to. My family is able to breath for the first time in a year. David, thank you for your professionalism, knowledge, calm and understanding. We are looking so forward to working with David and recommending him to others!
