Small investor here - which Gold IRA company did YOU

Okay, so I've been a pretty steady gold investor for a few years now, mostly just DCAing into a gold IRA because, let's be real, the stock market can be a rollercoaster. I'm a healthcare administrator here in Tampa, so I see firsthand how fast things can change, and having that physical asset backing my retirement just gives me a solid piece of mind. My current Gold IRA is sitting right around the $120k mark, which I know isn't massive money compared to some folks, but it's a significant chunk of my retirement savings that I want to make sure is handled well.
I've actually been considering potentially rolling over a portion of a traditional IRA I have into another Gold IRA for better diversification, but I'm hesitant because of minimums. Some of these companies seem to cater to much larger portfolios, and honestly, a lot of the online reviews feel a bit… manufactured. I want genuine experiences from people who were in a similar boat. What companies are truly good for folks like me? I'm not looking to move my whole $120k at once, maybe just start with another $30k-$50k for now.
Did anyone here start with a smaller amount and have a good experience with a particular company? What were their fees like for setup and annual maintenance on a smaller account? I'm really looking for transparency and good customer service. I've found that some companies are great at the sales pitch but not so much at actually guiding you through the process effectively. Any horror stories or amazing successes to share?
I did come across this Gold IRA Quiz recently which was actually pretty insightful for understanding the different types of gold IRAs and what to look for, so I'd recommend that for anyone just starting out. But for me, now it's about the company choice. Seriously, any personal anecdotes would be super helpful in narrowing down my options!
