TL;DR: One of the least responsive, least honest, least effective services I have ever encountered! We bought a home with a pool, and the previous owners had been paying the Pool Doctor to service it. We took over the contract about 5 months ago. Since then, the Pool Doctor has: 1) Sent people weekly to open the gate, walk into the property, turn around, and leave. They did not realize we have cameras. They charged the previous owner for months of visits that lasted 30 seconds and did nothing. They left weekly slips claiming that they had done work they had not done. 2) Sent about 5 different technicians over the course of 5 months. Although the owner of the Pool Doctor knows about our pool's specific requirements, he didn't share them with the techs. There was one experienced tech who showed up briefly, but he wasn't informed about our specific pool so made errors. 3) Installed a floating chlorine dispenser without asking or informing us. They did not secure the floater as is recommended by the manufacturer. Floaters are not recommended for this type of pool. The floater got caught under the cover at the stairs and stained the steps. 4) Spent the last three months refusing to talk about how to repair the steps. They've said a) it wasn't their fault, b) ok, it was their fault but they would soon to fix it, c) not called for months, d) ignored repeated calls and emails, and e) refused multiple different suggestions for how to fix the problem. I will update if they ever fix the bleached steps.
