The Mac Doctor, Inc.

The Mac Doctor, Inc. Scott Nelson created The Mac Doctor for two reasons: he has always loved Macintosh computers and he has always enjoyed teaching.
(462)

Scott earned a doctorate degree in Physiology and Biophysics from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1990, and has held postdoctorate and research positions at the University of Iowa. In 1997, he decided to start his own computer consulting business. Soon after, The Mac Doctor was born. Scott's research background has been invaluable in helping him to successfully evaluate, diagnose, and res

olve issues with Apple hardware, operating systems, applications, and networks. Moreover, his approach to computer education involves lessons that are clear, understandable, and applicable to users at all levels. "The purpose of training," says Scott, "is not to simply present the information, but to be sure that the trainee understands and can apply what he or she has learned." Scott is one of a small group of Apple Certified Support Professionals for Mac OS 10.5 in the state of Iowa. He is also an Adobe Certified Expert for Photoshop training. His clients have included the University of Iowa, Oral-B, ACT Inc., numerous local businesses and schools, and many private homes. Scott and his family have lived in Iowa City since 1990.

The MAC doctor is kind, patient and always very helpful. He also brings a lightness to what he does which helps with the frustration and anxiety that often shows up for me as I navigate my tech issues. Thank you for all you do, Scott.

Well, Scott saved me again and educated me at the same time, as he does with every visit. His knowledge is broad and he knows various ways to get the job done. I am so grateful!

I was able to secure an appointment for iPad and iPhone scan within 24 hours of contacting the Mac Doctor. He was prompt, friendly and completed the scan in short order. I would definitely call again if needed.

Our laptop computer screen was going black when we opened it up fully, but we could still see the screen if we only opened it part way. Scott came to our home and diagnosed that we would need a new screen, and that the expense to replace it would be about the same as buying a new laptop. So, we bought a new one and Scott helped us transfer all our data onto the new computer. He was so nice, squinting at our old, half-open computer to transfer everything. I think his neck and eyes were sore after he left our house! Scott was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us in layman's terms so we could use our new laptop with confidence. Thank you, Scott! We strongly recommend you!

This is the second time we have needed Scott's expertise. The first time, he upgraded and gave more life to our very old OS on a very old computer and said it would maybe last another two years. It lasted four years more! When it finally gave out, Scott was able to retrieve the hard drive, only because I had a back up Time Machine that he had recommended to us. We bought a new Mini Mac and he was able to transfer the data and photos from the old hard drive onto the Mini. He communicated all that we would need for the new set up, including another Lacie product for backing up storage on the new system. We live an hour away, so he made sure he had everything ready to use when we got home with it. It works beautifully and we have all our old data and photos. Thank you Scott for getting us up and going again!

Scott had helped with several different IT issues at our house.. laptops, cell phones, desktops. In one session he helped fix an issue with my desktop and iPhone. What takes me forever to figure out he does in minutes. I feel so blessed to have his help! Honestly, I leave a Mac Doctor appointment feeling more relieved and at peace than I do after some actual doctor appointments! Thanks again, Scott!
