There are simply not enough words to express how grateful our family is to Dr. Diana Gersten and the entire Coda Pet team during one of the hardest days of our lives.
After nearly 18 wonderful years with our beloved miniature dachshund, Nash, we knew it was time to say goodbye as he was in Renal failure. Dr. Gersten came to our home and treated Nash and our entire family with extraordinary compassion, kindness, and dignity. She never rushed us. She gave us all the time we needed to hold him, tell him how much we loved him, and say our final goodbyes in the comfort of our home, where Nash felt safe and surrounded by the people who loved him most.
After Nash peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge, Dr. Gersten gently carried him away on a beautiful bed with a soft blanket, treating him with the same love and respect she had shown throughout the entire visit. That simple act meant more to us than words can express.
Her care didn’t end that day. In the days that followed, she checked in on our family with thoughtful text messages, sent us a beautiful handwritten sympathy card, and shared such kind words about Nash and the joy and unconditional love he gave to our family and children. It was clear that she truly cared, not just as a veterinarian, but as a compassionate human being.
Losing a pet is heartbreaking, but Dr. Gersten helped make one of the most painful experiences of our lives as peaceful and loving as it could possibly be. We will never forget her kindness.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gersten and the Coda Pet in-home pet euthanasia service to any family facing this incredibly difficult decision. They provided our sweet Nash with the peaceful, dignified farewell he deserved, and for that, we will be forever grateful.
