Verified Veterinarian
I wanted to become a veterinarian so that I could make a difference. When I was in college, I had a deep interest in science and research, and I loved to challenge myself. I was fortunate as a child to have parents that understood my love for animals and would allow me to "bring home the strays", so to speak. I worked for several years in the restaurant industry before deciding to use my gifts with people and animals, as well as my science background, to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I believe in the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To me, this means treating the people I meet and the pets I take care of with respect, dignity, and compassion. I liken being a veterinarian to a pediatrician: Since both pets and small children cannot always communicate to me what is wrong, or where it hurts, it is up to me to listen to the pet parent and use what they say to help diagnose and treat their pet.

Dr. Perzak was such a blessing to our family as we had to put our dog down. Her kindness and gentleness with our dog were a comfort and she handled the entire process incredibly from coordinating the details ahead of time to everything the day of. We cannot thank her enough!
Dr. Perzak was not only caring, but her professionalism gave us reassurance at an important time. Only today, two weeks later, as we were spreading our dear pet's ashes near a special hiking place, did we find his dog tags among the ashes, just as it should have been. Now we will put the tags with the remaining ashes in the most special location. Thank you, Dr. Perzak and the Codapet team for handling everything just right. It gave Blazethe proper end to a life of love and activity.
The day my dog passed was the hardest day, I lost my best friend of 14 years. Despite the circumstance, Dr Perzak was so kind. So patient. So thoughtful. Thinking of that day still brings tears to my eyes on regular basis, but I am thankful that the person who came to my home was so informative, comforting, and compassionate. Thank you Dr Perzak for loving on my baby boy before he left
Dr. Perzak is kind, gentle, and understanding. It’s never easy deciding to say goodbye to a pet but having the ability to do it at home instead of in a vets office where your pet may feel uncomfortable is a blessing. Trigger loved Dr. Perzak when she was his primary vet and it was truly comforting for him to wag his tail and be excited to see her again before he left us. The follow up email providing resources was very helpful as well. This is an expensive service but I think it’s well worth the price.
Dr. Perzak was great. She was very kind and compassionate, took her time with us and explained what to expect. I’m very grateful that we were able to let our baby be at home and have a peaceful passing. I can’t thank Dr. Perzak enough for what she does. The whole process was very easy from booking the appointment and adding the cremation and memorial items option. It made a very hard day just a little less stressful
Dr. Perzak was wonderful with our little dog Tucson when it was time for him to cross the rainbow bridge. It was such a hard decision to make for us to let him go but Dr. Perzak was so gentle and comforting that it made it a little easier. We would highly recommend her if that time comes.
