Client Feedback
I cannot say enough about Gus and Michelle. They are always there to help, answer questions. Our company is located outside of Chicago. And when we needed them to come in and do a presentation for renewal, they were here to make sure that it was informative to the employees and process was seamless. Just a great group of people to be working with!

I really like the professionalism and knowledge of benefits from a national perspective that Aston Sharp brings to the table. It is also really nice for them to help through the carrier connections and third party administrator setups. When it comes to open enrollment, they update all of my plans on EaseCentral and all I have to do is make sure my payroll deductions come across after my employees choose their benefits for the year. No complex setup for me, they take care of it all.

Aston Sharp has been a fantastic business partner for us. Not only have they helped us find competitive health benefits, but they are extremely responsive to changes that need to take place, assisting us with HR solutions, and finding ways to help with the day to day challenges that arise.

Gus has been very helpful and has been able provide prompt answers every time we ask a question.

I work for a small Non-Profit organization and Aston Sharp Insurance Services has helped us provide health insurance for our employees. Gus Altuzarra has been wonderful. He has gone above and beyond in so many respects to ensure that we were happy with our insurance needs. The level of care and consideration has been admirable and our team is happy with how dedicated he is. We would recommend Aston Sharp Insurance Services to any business. Keep up the great work!

Gus was the most detailed and informative insurance rep I’ve come in contact with. I just transitioned off my family health insurance in the last year and missed my application deadline off some bad advice from a previous insurance company I had worked with. Gus walked me through an really complicated appeal process and was able to get me great coverage quickly and with a VERY reasonable rate compared to what I had been quoted out at before. Highly recommend his services.
