What Our Customers Are Saying

Business Insurance"When COVID started, I remember making the call on a Sunday night. Our college had just emailed us to tell us to shut down — no more dentistry. So I’m calling my staff, saying, OK we’re shutting down. I didn’t know at the time if it was going to be two weeks…Right away they were already on it. It didn’t take long. The adjuster contacted me. Once that happened I received my first payment for office closure, which was a significant help to pay my rent. I had a few colleagues that had the same Intact insurance but not with DentAssure, not with Palladium, and their coverage was declined. Again every time they somehow always manage to get better coverage, better price, and it’s been smooth."Dr. Chantal Plant, Blackburn Shoppes Dental Centre
Business Insurance"I made the decision to go with Palladium because they were an independently owned local business. I like to support local business whenever I can because they keep jobs in the local economy. They are members of this community and because of that, they go that extra mile for their clients. There is no way a call centre worker from a big U.S. conglomerate is going to go that extra mile for me no matter how great my need. Palladium did, and that’s why they’ll always be my broker."Candace Labelle
Personal Insurance"You need to really do the research ahead of time to make sure your family is protected. We are talking about your home, your most valuable asset, the place that keeps you safe and where you keep your most valuable possessions. Get the facts, do the research, don’t take this decision lightly."Patrick McGuinness
Personal Insurance"Everyone I talked to mentioned these guys. They were everywhere. They supported community sports teams, they had the inside scoop on all the insurance companies and made sure they dealt at the highest levels. Most importantly, everyone I talked to told me they always go that extra mile for their clients. And that’s really important when everything you have – your home, your automobile, your very livelihood – is depending on this relationship."Brian Turner
Personal Insurance“Sylvie offered to read our insurance policy for the American property to make sure we were getting top value for our money. Low and behold, she found significant gaps in the coverage. Because we were renting the property we needed liability insurance that wasn’t covered. Sylvie advised us that renters in the U.S. are very litigious so this needed to be included. When they approached their American insurance provider with the changes, he made them. She wasn’t compensated for any of that, but that’s just the way she is. She goes that extra mile for her clients.”Sonia Brisebois
