Truly cared about my pc problems and worked diligently to help resolve the issue. Very grateful for computer therapy!
Not only did Lee respond to me late at night, but he was also willing to diagnose the issue with my device. He was extremely helpful over text and was able walk me through what to do and scheduled an appointment for me to bring my device in. He was transparent about the repair process and rates. I would recommend Computer Therapy to anyone that needs tech help in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area.
Recently, I purchased a new laptop PC and needed to have my data files transferred from the old computer to the new one. I contacted a computer repair chain and big box store to inquire about getting this service and was told that it would take many days before they could get to it. In addition, they were not at all enthusiastic about helping me with this need. I then decided to search for a local independent computer repair business and found Computer Therapy, Inc. in Carrboro. Their reviews were outstanding so I called and left a VM. Within no time, Lee Pollard, the proprietor, called me back and was extremely responsive to my needs. He understood exactly what had to be done and offered to access my computers remotely to make the transfer at a time when it was convenient for me. On the following day late afternoon Lee had an opening and executed the migration process. I must admit that my computer skills are at best mediocre and was feeling nervous about my involvement. Lee was exceptionally patient, thorough, and skilled. I soon felt completely at ease, confident, and trusting of Lee and the directions he was giving me. He not only transferred the data files, but he also migrated programs and made my new Dell PC identical to the old one. He even replicated certain customizations onto the new computer. In summary, Lee treated my computer as if it was his own. So if you have any needs regarding your computer, run, don’t walk, and call Lee at Computer Therapy. He will take good care of you!
Lee works quickly and efficiently and will let you know if the repair cost exceeds the value of the equipment. It is SO wonderful to have someone willing and able to work remotely; you don’t have to be without your computer (in many cases). He is never condescending and will answer your questions understandably. Recommend him highly!
Lee is highly skilled, well informed, immediately responsive, flexible, and very well tuned to the needs of a routine computer user.It would be hard to beat the value of his help.
Wow, just wow!Called with a custom PC build issue. He stayed on the phone and trouble shot my entire system and sent me some recommendations in order to save me a trip.If you are looking for someone to fix your PC, look no further, this is the man!
Lee was a great help! Helped me figure out my problem while working efficiently and minimizing cost.
I want to say thank you to Lee. He was very responsive, patient, understanding, and very competent. He was able to solve my problem within one sitting. Simply AMAZING!!!
I sent a text to the number on the website at around 11pm and got an answer right away. He stayed up until nearly 3am walking me through fixing my computer and it was ready to use the next day. 6 out 5 stars
For the second time this year (different issues), Lee at Computer Therapy, Inc saved the day. Cant say enough about how responsive, professional and quick he is in diagnosing the problem, giving you options, and fixing everything. When buying a new laptop, he gave me basic criteria to insist on, and even provided answers and advice via text so that I got the one I needed without any store attempts at up-sell. Between COVID-compliant drop-off/pick-up and the ability to make certain fixes remotely, both times have been excellent experiences. Exceptional service and value all around. Oh, and I learned of Computer Therapy through a trusted friend/businesswoman.
I would give more stars if I could. Lee was the consummate professional--thorough and reassuring. He solved the problem. That would have been enough. He told us how to ensure it would not happen again. That would have been enough. But then he went on to figure out why it happened and fixed that too. He went above and beyond what we had expected. And he did it all in a timely manner, staying in constant contact with us, telling and showing us exactly what he was doing, so that we were not panicking. We thank (add whatever deity or spiritual force you believe in) for his knowledge and effort.
Lee helped me through texting and I was able to make a quick repair myself. Thanks a lot!
Just like many of the other reviews, remote assistance with my computer was a plus. He helped me diagnose whether or not it was even worth it to repair the computer versus simply get a new one. I went through a series of hand me down computers that had a variety of issues and assuming his claims are correct I saved quite a bit of money not having professionals waste time on them. Thanks for the help.
Lee was the best! Was able to solve our computer problems easily and conveniently. Would definitely recommend and will go back for any future computer needs.
We have been using Computer Therapy for our business and personal computer needs for 20+ years. Lee has saved us lots of money by building our computers with exactly what we need during all these years. They are very responsive and know their stuff!! I highly recommend Computer Therapy for all your computer needs.
Lee was awesome. Lee helped me remotely with a issue with my laptop . He didt charge me a dime. Im so grateful and appreciate him for being so kind , and patient with me , I know It was hard to work with me because of my busy schedule. Lee saved my butt with college work .
After we moved to NC three years ago, I needed to find a new source of computer support. I searched around for a while before discovering Lee Pollard (Computer Therapy). Lee provides excellent service, based on his strong work ethic, equally outstanding technical skills (which cover both hardware and software), person-to-person communication skills and business practices. As others have written, Lee will not try to sell you something you dont need. On the contrary, he is always looking out for the clients best interests. He has repaired my laptop, and upgraded both my laptop and desktop to Win10, synched Outlook and other apps across the two machines, and generally cleaned house for me, computer-wise. He fills the role I need to keep my hardware and software running optimally. I am so glad I found him!
Lee from Computer Therapy has been coming to our rescue since 1999!Whether in person, by phone, or going into our computer directly, Lee takes care of all our computer issues, as well as helping us when we do not know how to handle a particular function. For us, Lee is indispensable!!Christine and Walter
Lee Pollard has been my on site Computer Guru and remote sightComputer Technician for more years than I can count. He is also a true friend loaning be his Utility Trailer to move from one location to another 174 Miles apart. So far I have made two trips and will soon make a third one. He solves all my computer problems from picking up my tower and removing a hard drive and after compressing the file , reinstalling it and delivering it back to me the next morning. He has a keen and perceptive mind, Is very intelligent and excellent sociability. He can lead and he can follow. Finally, He went to West Point and served in The Signal Corps.Getting through West Point is no easy passage. From his service experience and his subsequent learning the various computer protocolshe has become a force to recognized and has developed a niche that provides him a monopoly -- in short, his only competition is The Geek Squad but you have to take your hardware in to them while Lee literally comes to your house or business.
For a computer-illiterate oaf such as myself, Lee Pollard has been my miracle worker. He remotes in whenever I need him to fix any small issue, and his rates are quite reasonable. He recently had to replace my hard drive and he did it at an affordable price, even picking it up and bringing it back to me. I love the new drive - its so fast and quiet. Lee even took the time to send me a PDF cheat sheet! He is so patient with me and never laughs at my ignorance, and I think that I like that best of all.
Lee has been terrific to work with. When I had a crisis, he jumped on it immediately. Fortunately those don’t happen too often, but he’s always there when I have an issue or a question. I couldn’t ask for better support.
The professionals at computer therapy were helpful and had a quick turn around. Would definitely recommend for services.
Lee does a great job. I have been fortunate to have worked with him over the past two years. He is very responsive when I needed help. He quickly accesses the problem and determines what would be the best solution for me and my needs. His suggestions are always welcome because of his knowledge and experience. It is great that he can fix most problems remotely. I recommend contacting Lee next time you have computer related issues. Thanks Lee.
Lee Pollard and Computer Therapy are the best. We have used their services for may years. i cant say enough about the times that Lee has saved the day with his efficient repairs and updates. We have always been pleased. Lee is my hero
Only person I would trust for computer service.
If you want an IT support person who goes the extra mile(s) to figure out the problem, solve it, work with you to ensure you understand what is going on, and be available when you absolutely need him, then you want to choose Lee of Computer Therapy. Lee is energetic, smart, committed to figuring out the problem(s), and never makes you feel silly or foolish for asking questions. When it was clear that my PC was fading fast, Lee jumped on it, reviewed the possible problems and solutions, and made the repairs as fast as humanly possible because he knew that a working computer is essential to my business. After getting me back up and running, he continued to troubleshoot and resolve any small remaining issues, doing an awesome job of follow-up with me. Choosing Computer Therapy as your IT support service is a great choice and you will be more than happy that you did so.
Very happy with the professionalism of Lee and his company. He develops an atmosphere of trust and goes the extra mile to provide service. Strong interpersonal skills and an excellent problem solver.I would and have recommended Computer Therapy to peers and neighbors.John Hughes, Chapel Hill
I could not have run my business without Lee. He is very professional, very effective and very efficient. Lee and I have also developed a solid friendship over the years and I look forward to continuing that relationship. Sincerely, David G Hackney
Lee Pollard has done work for me for many many years. He is smart, knowledgeable and shares his knowledge. When my husband was very ill with cancer he generously brought his own equipment and boxes of movies for him to watch- a very compassionate and Christian man in his dealing with people- thank you Lee., Gael Jaeger
Lee and his staff are professional and easy to work with! He is extremely responsive to the needs of his clients and meets you at your level of expertise and guides you to help problem solve the situation.He has been our go to guy since we moved here 14+ years ago. We cannot imagine working with anyone else because we have been so satisfied with his service, knowledge, and quickness. Our computers are integral in our work and he is aware of that and acts accordingly! A++++++
Computer Therapy has been our go to computer service since 2002. The service has always been top notch. I tell people-- Lee may not be the cheapest computer service out there but if you want it done right Lee is the man!!! He is helpful both in his location as well as remotely. I give him the highest rating!!!
Our business has been relying on Computer Therapys expertise for approximately 8 years. During that period we have grown from 3 locations to 16. Lee and his group are outstanding. Whether it be software, hardware or helping us understand a new application; they are professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. We have always participated in their pre-paid options to gain the peace of mind that comes with having a professional staff available immediately.BobChapel Hill business owner
Intuitive, reliable and smarter than my computer. Ive been rescued from many computer-related dilemmas by Lee. Last year he returned my frantic call while he was driving in Texas. Somehow he had total recall of what my home network looked like; he also diagnosed the core problem and continued fixing the problem using remote screen share software while he was out of state. A miracle indeed.
I found Lee by word of mouth nearly 11 years ago and he has been my go-to computer guy ever since. Whether he works here or remotely, Lee always solves my computer problems promptly and professionally! I gladly recommend him wholeheartedly!!!
I trust Lee will resolve the issue and keep my information secure. He always has. I can offer no higher praise than that!
Lee is very knowledgable and efficient and responds to computer issues rapidly. I had an issue and he was at my house the same afternoon and solved the problem in 30 minutes! I recommend Lee and Computer therapy enthusiastically!
I have been lucky enough to have Lee repair my computer over several years. He is one of the few business people who cares about his business and customers. His honesty and expertise along with timely promises has saved me worry and money.
Lee always seems to fix my slow computer, my broken computer, or my computer that has been infected with a bug. I trust him completely to take over my computer and have always been very happy with his work. Thanks Lee.
Lee is on time and very focused. In one afternoon session he solved a huge problem my former tech support person was never able to figure out. Lee is very responsive when I have a question. Im so glad I found him!
Lee Has always been very responsive. Most of the time providing same day solutions to our problem. I highly recommend his service, you will not be disappointed.
Lee called me back promptly and helped me diagnose a difficult issue. Theres a reason he has a 5 star rating.
Lee Pollard of Computer Therapy has been our go-to source for computer repair for many years now. Everytime we have needed his service he has been thorough in telling us what to expect and how soon to expect it. His pricing has always been reasonable and doesnt change after he sets it. He has always saved or retrieved data before beginning and reinstalled things when necessary. He usually asks enough questions about the problem that he may be able to talk me through a solution. In such an instance there has been no fee.I am also aware the Lee and Computer Therapy are conscientious participants in the community. He is known to overhaul computer equipment and make refurbished units available at no charge to students or others in need. Every community needs folks like that.
Can I give out a 6 star rating ? Lee has been my computer guy for almost 10 years. Simply put, he is the best !
Lee Pollard, Computer Therapy INC, is preciselythe kind of person with the knowledge andexpertise that you are grateful to be ableto welcome into your home or office.Extremely RELIABLE....and patient.
I have a small business in Chapel Hill, NC and Computer Therapy has been servicing and repairing our computers for the last six years. Lee and his team do an excellent job and are always available for emergency situations. Computers always seem to fail at the worst times and Lee can get you back up and running immediately! I would highly recommend Computer Therapy to anyone have computer difficulties or in need of advice on computer related questions.
I have no hesitation in giving Lee Pollard of Computer Therapy the highest rating possible for his knowledge of and experience with computers, his professionalism and his efficient and effective service. I have entrusted him for many years with all my computer needs and will certainly continue doing so.
Lee Pollard has been our computer therapist since November 1999!Since then Lee is the person we call or email when we have any computer irregularity, or simply when we do not know how to complete a certain function. Lee is always there for us. Lee can do most of the work directly from his lab - sometimes he comes to us - but that is seldom. Our problems are always resolved!Since we are not computer savvy - it is indispensable to have a person who can provide a quick response and a solution - and Lee is that person. We recommend Lee highly, as well as his team. There are lots of computer services in this area, but there is only one Lee.Christine Colven and Walter Hinton
Lee was great to work with and upgraded my computer for a very reasonable cost. I will definitely call him again when I have another problem or question.
Excellent service!!
Lee is best on all fronts. Personal service in this day and time is almost priceless but Lee and crew give it.
For the past 5 years, Lee has been responsive, respectful and always solved our computer problems at a very reasonable rate and quickly.
Lee has been repairing my computer since Computer Therapy was created and I have always been iimpressed with his computer knowledge and very pleased with his work. Since he has been able to connect with my computer from his place of work he has completed repair wthout coming to my home.
Ok I have had issues with both my PC computer and my iPhone and had gone to several different people for help even Apple and Verizon a few times. And no one was able to figure out what the issues were. It took days and days and still no positive results until I got to Computer Therapy. Lee fixed everything in seconds over the phone even. NO waiting on line, or on the phone only to be hung up on or disconnected. Thank you for being available and for assisting me in such a professional manner. When your devices are not working everything shuts down, its great to have a Computer Therapy.
Lee exorcized the cryptolocker from my computer via telephone. Told me what steps to follow and walked me through it and verified that all other systems were working normally. Doing it on the phone saved me much down time. He was quite friendly and professional. Much better service than the commercial services that pop up first on a search. If I could give a rating greater than 5 stars I would. Another plus is that it is a local company not a big box that spends its profits out of the area. Cost was much less than other flat rates quoted to me by the big boxes.
We have been Lees customers for over 10 years. When people tell me they are calling the franchise IT firms (GEEK Squad etc.) for software issues, I cringe.Those firms may have some good technicians, but they come and go. So the guy who first loads your software is not the one who helps you load a new program and add a back up and the next person is yet another newbie, and when you have a problem no one knows what has been done or why. They all do the work their own way. It may be good work at each step, but it is not coordinated and the PCs and laptops I have seen are a disaster (sometimes just waiting to happen).Computer Therapy has had several technicians, but they are all good, and Lee oversees the work. He does spring cleaning on PCs to keep them in good working order. And, I LOVE the remote login feature where he can access our computers and take care of issues and maintenance during his off-site time.We always ask Lee for recommendations before we buy hardware and software and have been very happy with our systems--they last, they are highly functional while they last, and we can upgrade and keep things running well because there is a good foundation in place.Lee also puts up with my husbands impatience with technology, and he lets me be involved as possible so I know what is being done and how. I believe in knowing what the technology can do and the only way to know that is to know how it is set up and whats out there.Ten satisfied years and counting. PS, hes working on a virus that was attached to a download this evening....hes great at finding and fixing those bugs. He also takes old equipment and gets it running for nonprofits or uses the good parts for community programs.
Professional, very knowledgeable, stayed at my problem until it was fixed, reasonable rates, and then followed up with me the next day. What more can you ask for from a private computer and media specialist?
Lee is the BEST! Responsive, intelligent, great service, fair dealing, a pleasure to deal with him..
Lee drops everything, and/or juggles everything to take care of his clients. He works with your schedule and will either fix the problem remotely while you sleep, or find a mutually agreeable time to get together (even if after 5 pm). He doesnt live on an 8-5 pm work day. His work day revolves around his clients needs and availability. Ive had some time sensitive computer issues; he works me in to an already busy work load of commitments. In addition, he explains the issue & the solution, in terms a non-computer person can understand. If he can offer a solution and teach me how to deal with it, saving me money, he will. I highly recommend him. Its 2020 and Lee Pollard of Computer Therapy, Inc continues to offer excellent computer support. Last eve was on a photo deadline and had computer issues. Texted Lee and in less than 10 mins he was on-line helping resolve the computer issue. He stuck with me til the problem was resolved. He works by remoting in to my computer, so in this day and time of Covid, its great that he can provide computer support without coming into my home, or me packing up my computer and dropping it off. He continues to get 5 stars in my book.
Lee Pollard helped me migrate to iCloud and coordinate a desktop, laptop, iPhone and iPad so that all 4 devices can view the same e-mails, calendar and contacts. With Lees help, I got gmail, but the gmail coordinates with my old email so that I dont have to change my public email address. Lee helped me find a laptop with Windows 7, so that I didnt have to upgrade to Windows 10. Key for me has been to continue to use my old Tungsten E2 Palm Pilot PDA. Lee enabled hotsyncing of the Palm with both desktop and laptop, when others had utterly failed. The most recent issue has been the search function in Outlook 2010 contacts, and Lee has patiently helped me find a workaround. I am truly amazed at Lees technical intuition and persistence. He never gives up, and shows a lot of patience with clients with modest computer skills!
Lee has built my computers and serviced them for decades. As an accountant in public practice, I cannot afford to be without my computers. Lee keeps me in business.
The expertise that Lee Pollard brings to computers and technology in general has been extremely important to me both in my professional work as a consultant with national clientele as well as in developing a 40 home residential community (Solterra in West Durham). In each of those it was critical that at all times I had data in top functioning computers. Lee was instrumental in advising me on purchasing of new computers occasionally as well as recmmending and helping to install various kinds of software for my professional needs as well as for my interest in digital photography.He is always quick to respond to needs either in person or through remote access from his office. In these cases I have never had any hesitation providing him with access through the use of password or other means.His expertise was never more impressive than in the most recent challenge which was to convert from my Microsoft system to a new Apple system to be compatible with my wifes Apple: His handling of my two PCs, three printers a new iMAC and many hundreds of files was pure magic.Lee is a delight to work with, and seeing him share his expertise by refurbishing computers and donating them to schools is just another reason that I recommend him with great confidence
There has never been a computer-mess, Lee could not get me out off, and I goof up a lot. Thanks
I appreciate Lee Pollards knowledge and eye for detail
Extremely helpful.
