What pet parents are saying

We recently had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved boxer, Rocco. After a lifetime of love, loyalty, and joy it was important to us that his final moments be peaceful and in the comfort of his own home. We were fortunate to have found Dr. Cory, who came to our home and helped guide us through this emotional process with the utmost compassion and professionalism. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Cory was gentle, kind, and incredibly respectful not only to us, but most importantly, to Rocco. She took the time to explain each step of the process, allowing us to move at our own pace and ask questions as needed. Her calm and compassionate demeanor helped bring a sense of peace to an otherwise heartbreaking moment. What stood out the most was the care she showed for Rocco. She ensured he was comfortable, pain-free, and relaxed, treating him with the dignity and tenderness he deserved. Her presence helped us feel less alone in our grief and more at peace with our decision. We are so grateful for Dr. Cory and the service she provided. While nothing can take away the sadness of losing our sweet Rocco, having him at home, surrounded by love, with someone so compassionate guiding us, made all the difference. Thank you, Dr. Cory for helping us give Rocco the goodbye he deserved.

Dr Korsgen was wonderful. She is a good communicator, explained everything she was doing, and was gentle and compassionate toward our beloved kitty. And very kind to us. It was worth every penny to say goodbye to our kitty in our own home and with such a skillful and caring practitioner guiding us all through it. 💔 Thank you Dr Korsgen

Dr Cory was patient and kind and informed us every step of the way. It was a very difficult time for us, but she reassured us. We were making the right decision to let our Coco pass peacefully at home. We highly recommend Dr Cory she treated Coco with Grace and Love all the way and had a special memorial in her car which just made it even more comforting that she was going to be transported with Love.

Dr. Cory was so genuinely compassionate at a time when our hearts were absolutely broken. We could not have imagined a more caring person coming into our home and helping us survive the trauma of sending our 16 and 14 year old pugs to the rainbow bridge together. She truly was the best Dr. we could have asked for to be with us during the saddest time of our lives.

At a very difficult time Dr. Cory gave us the support and compassion we needed. She helped our girl, Zoey, to pass peacefully and with dignity. We could not have asked for a better vet and person to help us in our time of need.
