Working with the team at New City Insurance was a great experience, couldn’t recommend it enough. Being completely new to the insurance world, both Clayton and Eric were thoughtful and kind, and most importantly patient with my many questions. All in all 5/5 stars. Thank you New City!

I ran into an issue with our carrier and Nick got right to the bottom of things. He and his team were incredibly responsive and helpful, making what could have been a frustrating situation so much easier to handle. They really went above and beyond to make sure everything was resolved quickly and smoothly. I’m super grateful for their support and highly recommend New City Insurance to anyone looking for a team that truly cares about their clients!

My Experience with New City has been amazing. Team Eric has been great, especially Nicholas Rebis their follow up time is a 10/10. I'm currently helping an employee out with her questions and have been running to Nicholas, before I say bye to our team member, letting her know I will follow up as soon as I hear something, I see his response. Thank you to the team for making it easier for me to assist our employees during difficult times.

These guys are great and definitely go above and beyond. We were overcharged for a surgery that my husband had in Aug 2024 due to the contract that they had with our health insurance. It was very difficult trying to work and deal with trying to get this refund back from the surgical hospital we went to. A lot of playing phone tag with them. My husbands HR team got "Nicholas" involved and OMG.....he just handled everything. He stayed in constant contact with me via email on every step of the way. Eventually he was able to get this money refunded that was $997. He has been on top of it from day one. I must say he took all of the stress off of me dealing with this situation during my working hours and went ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty. I am so happy they got involved and relived me from dealing with this and the stress it would've caused me. You will be very blessed working with a company such as this. Keep doing what your doing!

Eric Calciano, is as sharp and knowledgeable about health benefits and insurance, as anyone I've ever come across. If you need any kind of benefits analysis I highly recommend him and his firm. He is easy to work with and highly professional.

I don't leave reviews often, but this one is well deserved and overdue. Clayton provided services to my company prior to his move into the insurance world a few years ago. Always being incredibly impressed with his talent and strong communication skills, I decided to switch our insurance broker and give New City a shot. That turned out to be a great move.The first year, Clayton actually jumped on a plane and flew from Oregon to California just to be onsite and administer open enrollment for my 45 employees. Clayton, Eric, Jeff, Brendan, and the entire team have been a pleasure to work with over the years. The communication, response time, and insurance knowledge is second to none in my opinion. A legitimate 10/10. They are great listeners and strive to really understand the needs of their customers.I'm very selective about giving referrals and making recommendations, but New City has never disappointed. If you are reading these reviews to help make your decision on selecting an insurance broker, this team is 100% a solid option. And if you don't believe me, just look at the other reviews.

We have been working with New City Insurance since 2019 at the start of our company and has not look back since. They are responsive and proactive when it comes to advise and also market analysis on what's there in the marketplace. Unfortunately insurance benefits costs has been increasing yearly with differences in the percentage of increase . The New City folks reaches out months before the impending increase takes places and help relook into options or recommendations that they see fit. We were a company of 2 to now 7 permanent staff . While we are small , this company still takes care of us well.

As a rapidly expanding national media organization, the employee benefits strategy and administration that New City has provided us during our growth has been invaluable. They have been proactive about informing us of the different benefit strategies available to us as we grow as well as managing the additional compliance laws and reporting requirements at each stage of our growth.

I never expected to have a good time talking to an insurance salesman, but let me tell you Brendan was quite the treat. He was very helpful explaining the options and has a wonderful sense of humor. I hope to speak with him every time I call.

Eric Calciano has been extremely helpful in finding and selecting the right insurance coverage for our company. With many options out there Eric assisted us on getting a low cost provider saving more than 20% than from our competitors and providing excellent coverage for our employees.

Jeff Stoltey and his team provide excellent customer service. Jeff has always provided my company SFCC with straightforward options. I went to a larger insurance company only to RUN BACK to Jeff at New City Insurance. I recommend them to anyone needing insurance without hesitation.

Eric was so great with us. He was very patient and kind as we are a newer smaller organization who is growing rapidly. With that said, we had made our inquiry, he had great rapid response and mostly had to wait on me. Any request that we made and/or questions we had, he was great answering and helping us understand. Then when we were ready for all documents and to move forward, Brendan helped with getting that together and the two of them worked their magic on New City's end to notify me of what was needed, assist me in that process and confirming that all was complete and approved for the coverage. I just want to say thank you all again so much, as insurance has always been confusing to me, and you all made that process go a lot smoother.Thank you

I've been working with both Clayton and Brendan for well over a year. As the purchase of our dental practice was delayed well over 14 months they both patiently supported me and continued to make themselves available. When we were officially ready to sign up they made the whole process seamless and super easy. This team is highly knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and efficient! I can't thank them enough for everything they've done.

I love New City Insurance. I never had a good experience dealing with insurance brokers until I started working with Brendan. He’s awesome! He is patient with me and takes the time to answer all my questions. I’m very grateful for all his help and hard work!

Jeff Stoltey is so awesome...even thru my company had only two employees, he took the time each year to research and find the best plan for us. The only reason I am leaving New City Insurance is because we no longer have any employees. Thank you Jeff

I was very thankful I inquired about this info. with Brendan. He was very helpful so I understand the benefits available much better now. Thank you Brendan.

NCI handled almost everything from start to finish. Clayton and Brendan made the plans easy to understand and walked me through the application process. They got me my ID numbers before my cards arrived so that I could keep an appointment I had already scheduled. My last broker wouldn't have done that. 5 stars!

Our staff was interested in a health plan, but we didn't know how beneficial a solid employee benefits package would be for our business to expand. We'd lose prospective employees because they had more options for their medical insurance which was sometimes more valuable than more pay. The New City team was amazing and gave us as many affordable options as possible so that everyone had their needs met.

My employer uses New City as their insurance broker, and I'm always amazed when I call in for assistance by how knowledgeable and attentive their staff is with my requests. Their online benefits platform makes selecting insurance plans pretty darn easy. I would highly recommend their services.
