If you are looking for a slick office, nice art work, state of the art tv monitors in the ultrasounds rooms and staff in high priced clothing, you are in the wrong place. If you want a baby- a child- a life to nurture and parent, you are in the right place. The office is outdated, the furniture a little older, the equipment screens a little small but they are very accomplished and effective.
Having had the experience of dealing with both SRM in Tacoma and Gyft I can honestly say that the one on one investment at Gyft is unmatched. The staff at Gyft will learn your name, know your family, get you klenex when you cry and support you through all the tough spots along the way. No- the nurses are not your mother but they do care and they do thier best to help you though the process, coordinate with the doctors and get you the best care possible in the most timely way.
COST- well, the cost at SRM and Gyft are generally about 5-7K+ apart with Gyft being less expensive overall. Sure, you may have a few more ultrasounds and a couple more blood draws but there is no guessing for the Gyft staff, they like to know what you need and how you are doing along the way to ensure a healthy pregnancy as soon as possilbe.
We were blessed by a tiny little girl and are going back for round two after a less than favorable couple of months with SRM who took our insurance but didn't really care to take care of us unless we wanted to go for a 20 K price tag for IVF. I would recommend Dr. Robinette and the nurses to anyone who asks.
