GYFT Clinic

I went to the GYFT clinic about 4 years ago. I was assigned to Dr. McLees and was not impressed with his demeanor nor with the staff. The doctor was a little condescending, and sort of rushed through things and didn't take much time to answer any questions that I had. My (now ex) husband didn't like him, either, and it didn't help our issues that we had as a couple. The nurses were pretty "military" in their examinations. I cringed every time I had to have a vaginal ultrasound. I swear they were jamming that thing so far in my that it was going to poke through my head!! On the plus side, the doctor did find the rather large and complex fibroids that were complicating my case (which accounts for much of the pain I was feeling when the nurses were doing their poking around). He ended up doing a laparoscopy and hysterosalpingogram and showed me the video afterward. That helped me on my way to go back to my HMO and get surgery for their removal. I am now starting back down the baby road again with a new husband and will be trying to get pregnant the natural way. However, if we're not successful after a few months, we WON'T be coming back to GYFT. We'll go to Seattle if necessary. more

I did not have a good experience at the Gyft clinic. Dr. Mclees never seemed like he even reviewed my files before meeting with me. He also seemed to push for the most exspensive procedures with little evidence to support his decisions. He even told me he wanted to retire last year--that made me feel like he really didn't care about his work. I left that clinic and went to a clinic in Seattle that looked at all my past tests at Gyft and even told me that one of the tests is not really done anymore...it's outdated technology. After going to a different clinic, my eyes were opened to how behind the times Gyft seemed to be... Good luck on your search, and avoid Gyft. more

If you live South of Seattle and require any kind of fertility treatments, Gyft Clinic is the place for you. It's located in a former church building, right over an optical shop -- but don't let the weird building throw you off. In part, since most insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments, they work hard to keep costs low so they aren't located in some fancy medical building. But the staff are excellent -- personable, professional and even funny. They do IVF, IUI and other procedures to help you have a baby with a great success rate. The doctors also find time to handle routine gynecology cases! more

I have been going to this GYN/Fertility office for years. The Docs...Dr. McLees and Dr. Robinette..are amazing. I have both donated eggs and was artificially inseminated here. I have had nothing but great experiences. They are open 7 days a week...Friday they close at noon and on the weekends it is by appointment only. The entire staff is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! A happy place to go for help in conceiving. more
