Turning 65 should be a celebration. But let’s be honest, applying for Medicare can feel like a maze with no clear exit. That’s where Carlos comes in. As the owner of Palomino Insurance in Lakewood Ranch, Carlos is more than just an insurance expert. He’s a trusted guide, a fierce advocate, and, most importantly, a real person who genuinely cares.
Insurance runs deep in the Hernandez family. Carlos learned the business from his father, a Medicare specialist who started in the insurance business in 1987. As a kid, Carlos sat in the car for hours while his dad met with clients, watching as his dad built trust, asked smart questions, and took meticulous notes. “My dad was my role model,” Carlos says. “He showed me how to listen first and recommend second.”
The name Palomino Insurance is a tribute to Carlos’ grandfather, a fearless ranger, whose call sign in Cuba was Palomino. That same bold spirit lives on in the way Carlos approaches Medicare, with courage, knowledge, and a determination to make things easier for his clients.
Carlos’ father passed away last year in May, but his wisdom remains the foundation of the company. “He always said, ‘You catch more flies with honey than vinegar,’” Carlos recalls. “That kindness-first approach is what built Palomino Insurance, and it’s what keeps us going.”
More Than Just a Policy, It’s Personal
Medicare is complicated. Between understanding doctor networks, benefit qualifications, and the fine print of different plans, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Carlos simplifies the process by handling the research and walking clients through their options face-to-face, with patience and clarity.
“Technology is a big hurdle for many of my clients,” Carlos says. “That’s why I handle the technical side, so they don’t have to. My job isn’t just to sell insurance. It’s to make people feel safe and supported.”
At Palomino Insurance, the goal isn’t just to enroll clients. It’s to build relationships. Carlos treats every client the way his father did, with honesty, warmth, and respect. “Kindness is the most underrated business skill,” he says. “And it’s at the heart of everything we do.”
If you’re turning 65 and feeling lost in the Medicare shuffle, Carlos from Palomino is the guy you want in your corner. Because when it comes to something as important as your health, you deserve more than a policy. You deserve a partner.
