GadgetSOS “With a very busy private practice & a total technophobe, I’ve neither the time nor patience to deal with technology. But technology is a big part of my work and I need help. Gregg of GadgetSOS truly saved my life in this regard. He’s able to fix, install, connect, all things tech. On top of that Gregg’s a patient instructor who makes sure I understand whatever he has taught or fixed or installed. I have used Gregg’s services countless times all over my house. He’s immediately responsive to my calls & bends over backwards to meet my tech needs until the problem is solved. He is available to answer questions at all hours. He’s a dad, good guy, hard worker and wizard with all things tech. I highly recommend Gregg & www.gadgetSOS.com.” ~ Betsy Brown Braun, parentingpathways.com
