VERY IMPRESSED by their integrity, speed, and service. Data Doctors at 8924 E Pinnacle Peak Road located on the NE corner of Pinnacle Peak and Pima Road was a huge help on keeping The Peak on schedule, helping us to deal with a recent Windows 10 update challenge. This is the first time The Peak has publicly thanked DD but it’s not the first time the pros there have come through. Contact information: http://www.DataDoctors.com .. 480-513-2500.
