I called Computer Doctors and was given an appointment for the same day. Their technician, Russ arrived on time and was knowledgeable, congenial, and efficient. At Russ’s suggestion he removed Norton Security and replaced it with Microsoft Security Essentials. He suggested that I switch browsers and transferred my favorites from Windows Explorer to Google Chrome. He explained how making these changes would speed up my computer and make it run more safely and efficiently. Russ then checked the sectors on my hard drive and found everything to be operating normally. He also looked through many files and background programs shutting down and removing ones, which were unnecessary and slowing down my computer. He reconfigured my Windows Update program and ran what was called a Windows Tweaker to fix other operations. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my computer now runs like new. I would recommend Russ and the Computer Doctors to anyone who has similar problems. Unfortunately I continue to have problems with Windows Update (sometimes it successfully updates, sometimes it fails to complete updates).
Description of Work: The Computer Doctors technician (Russ) came to my home to resolve two software issues with my, 6-year-old, Hewlett-Packard desktop computer running Windows 7. My computer had been running more slowly over recent months and was not able to install Windows monthly updates. Russ worked on my computer for one and one quarter hours and mostly resolved these problems.

Except for needing a new computer it went great. Russ made it look easy and made some great suggestions for the hardware and software. Cost listed below is the total for 2 trips, total working time was a little over 2 hours.
Description of Work: Computer would not send a signal to the motherboard, Russ quickly diagnosed the internal graphics unit on the motherboard was out. Bought another computer from Dell and had him come back out to assist with the setup.

No real details, since I only know that part of Mircrosoft Vista failed to work after 6 years. But, it took 1.5 hours to fix an OS problem. That's why he got the B rating. I have no idea how he fixed it, but it has been working without any problem since April.
Description of Work: My Dell would no longer recognize any attached device: scanner, camera, etc. He fixed that problem.

We were very pleased with him. He really did a good job. The gentleman was very knowledgeable and he explained everything. He made sure we understood everything and he asked if we had other questions. He was very patient with us and he was very trustworthy. We could not compare his pricing because he spent a long time with our computer. We will surely use him again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Computer Doctors for repairing our computer. He had to work a lot on our computer that was all messed up.

This is the 3rd time I've called in the past year (as I said, totally NOT tech savy ;o) and Russ always comes thru. He's always on time, always more than helpful and (unlike other services we've encountered) he never treated us like the tech idiots we are. I'd never call anyone else!
Description of Work: I called because I had inadvertently uninstalled my Chrome and could not retrieve it. We NEVER have any problem finding any number of minor issues that are also beyond our meager tech skills so a general maint & cleanup is always in order and was performed as well.

The service call went very well . It took one hour and I'm satisfied with the results and the price was fair, actually $10.00 less than they originally quoted over the phone. Please see above for details.
Description of Work: Removed viruses and malware , did a computer cleanup, removed junk files. Also updated adobe flash player. Computer is faster and runs much better than before the service. The service tech, Brad, was professional , courteous , and proficient.

They are reasonable in price. They came out and did the work for me at my home. The guy that came out was excellent. I just wish they could've been a little more clear about the operating systems capabilities with my office program or anything real estate related.

We purchased a new printer from a local 'big box' store and were assured the installation would 'be easy' and if we had any trouble call them & they'd 'walk us thru it'. It wasn't 'easy' and when we called the tech was so obtuse I had no idea what he was talking about in his techie jargon. I threw in the towel and called Computer Dr because Russ had been so helpful when we'd had him just a few weeks prior. If you are totally computer illiterate like we are, Russ is a god-send! We never have trouble finding enough to keep him busy answering questions for an hour.

Russ was wonderful - he was early (my appointment was 5pm on the day I called) - he was helpful - he did everything we asked and more (I am so NOT tech savy that I couldn't tell you what he did if my life depended on it - I just know it's fixed!) - we were more than satisfied with this service. I'd call them back or recommend them to someone else in a heartbeat! The cost was very reasonable and the service could not have been better!

Brad was prompt, knowledgeable and professional. He was familiar with the laptop problems I encountered and ran diagnostics to identify the cause. The cause of the problem was the video inverter. Since the age of the laptop was 7 years and far exceeded the expected life, I made the decision not to have the laptop repaired. Brad copied off my files from my hard drive onto a flash drive which I was able to load onto the new laptop I bought a few days later which is 4X as powerful and 25% of the original price of my failed laptop. Brad charged me a diagnostics price ($50) rather the $100 that I expected. I knew I was operating the original laptop on borrowed time so I was pleased to have gotten 7 years out of it.
Description of Work: Having difficulties with my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. I called Computer Dr and they sent Brad Land out within a couple days. Brad evaluated the problem, ran a few diagnostics and identified the cause.

My computer had been having problems for some time connecting the computer to the monitor on start up, but lately it wouldn't even start up correctly, or it wouldn't recognize the keyboard or the mouse. Based on Angie's list reviews, I called Computer Doctors and was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The technician arrived right on time, listened to the description of the problem and got right to work. He cleaned the dust out of the computer, repositioned the components inside, and thus was able to fix the first part of the problem. He then got to work on the second part, where he found that there were too many unnecessary programs competing with each other, which was causing the computer to lock up at start up. We worked together to identify necessary and unnecessary programs, and got rid of the unnecessary ones. The computer has been running great ever since!
Description of Work: Computer cleaning, took out and repositioned the boards inside the computer, then took off the extra programs that were causing the computer to lock up at start up.

The experience could not have been better. My intitial call was handled promptly by Jeanette in a most friendly and accomodating manner. After describing my computer's problems, Jeanette arranged for an immediate service call with Brad. She was terrific to deal with and made me feel like a valued customer. Brad arrived at my home exactly on-time as promised. He explained in great detail the problems discovered and the required repairs necessary to correct them and their cost. He took the computer with him to affect repairs, returned as promised with the computer completely operational. He made certain I was completely satisfied with the computer before leaving and urged that I call him should any questions or concerns arise.
Description of Work: 1. Evaluated computer function. 2. Diagnosed Hard Drive failure. 3. Diagnosed multiple viral infections, malware and spyware. 3. Replaced Hard Drive. 4. Removed all infections. 5. Transferred all pertinent data. 6. Tested computer to ascertain performance.

Brad arrived on time and proceded to transfer data from my old computer to the new one. Set up the printer for use on my wireless network. When he tried to use a new adapter on my old computer it turned out to be defective. Returned at no charge the next work day and installed the new adapter. Very knowledgeable and professional.

All in all, every thing ended well. I contacted them on Monday, they arrived on Wednesday. My computer got fixed, and my wife quit gripping about not being able to get on the computer to play her games. Life Was Good Again.
Description of Work: Was unable to log onto internet, and at my server's advice, they suggested that too many programs were running in the background. The problem turned out to be the McAfee virus and spy ware protection, so they removed it and installed a free service which has worked fantastic. The computer has never been faster. The technician even made a comment on how fast the computer was. It was supposed to be with all the upgrades I paid for from Dell, but never got to realize until this company came out and performed their own sort of magic.

This man worked hard to find out what the problem was with my computer. He even sat down with me and gave me some information on buying a flash card that lets you back-up information. It is like a portable hard drive. He also discussed with me on how to make my computer life easier. The only complaint I have is that I had to call them to find out the status of my computer. I have recommended them to other people.
Description of Work: My computer, after installing a service pack, would not work. It kept shutting down before I could do anything. A man from the Digital Doctors came out and worked with the computer. He got it to work. The next day it didn't work again. So this time the man took the computer back to the shop to work on it.

Eric tried to fix it in home, but too much had to be done. He took it into the shop, called a few days later and said I could pick it up. I did, and paid. But when I had hooked it up it was doing the same things I had sent it in for. I called Eric and he made a few suggestions, but nothing worked. He came back and got it, and told me he would have to wipe it clean and reinstall windows. When he brought it back it worked perfectly, all of my important files had been carefully saved, and I've been happy with it ever since. Eric was unfailingly polite and helpful, and patient. He returned all of my calls promptly, and showed up on time, if not earlier. Also, I never had to pay another cent after the initial charge.

Digital Doctor - Brad, came, on time, at the appointment time and "fixed it." Next morning, "Critical Error" message was back! Brad returned and took my computer into the shop where it stayed nearly a week, but was returned (with no additional cost) and has worked splendidly ever since. Hurrah! Brad was quite helpful regarding some other questions/inquiries I made. I'd recommend them without hesitation.
Description of Work: My new-ish computer came with Vista when I was FORCED (by Microsoft) to add the Service Pack 1 (SP1); it took a L O N G time to download and then I got a "critical error" message and my computer shut down one minute after that message appeared. Over & Over. Super frustrating!

They always arrive on time. They can usually come out in a reasonable amount of time. They do great work and do not compare to other computer service companies I have used. They are very friendly, and they finish very quickly. They guarantee what they are doing. On one occasion the repair took longer than expected so they didn't charge me extra.

Andy was right on time, and was very knowledgeable and professional. He explained what he had done and asked if I had any other computer questions at all, even things not related to the current problem. Great service and a great price for a home service call!
Description of Work: My computer would not let me open any of my programs. Andy Reid from Digital Doctors came to my home and had it running again within about half an hour. He also removed some unneeded programs that were slowing it down and installed a better anti-virus program. He said he could add memory for an additional $50, but said that it wouldn't really pay to do that since I was planning on buying a new computer within the next few months.
