Dr. Gersten was amazing. It was such a difficult decision for us, and we've never used an in-home service before. I am so thankful that I did and found Dr. Gersten. She was so kind, understanding, and didn't rush us at all. Highly recommend!

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

Dr. Diana Gersten was so kind, compassionate and it was nice not to have to take Phoebe to vet's office to say goodbye. She followed up with a sympathy card and we would highly recommend her services to anyone in the Stuart area. She helped our neighbor a few months ago and their experience was similar

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

I truly appreciate having an in-home euthanasia option when faced with a suffering pet. I liked the CodaPet electronic intake form because I didn’t have to struggle through that process telephonically, struggling through my tears and sobbing. I was offered an opportunity to discuss directly with Dr Gersten the day I booked the appointment and appreciated that so much. We connected the morning of my appointment again at my request and she was great and communicative. I’ve sadly been through this before but when she arrived she made sure she let us know what to expect and was very skilled with my pup, Roxie and informed and supported us as we comforted Roxie throughout. I had selected private cremation during the intake process and she confirmed my selections, even crediting a duplicate selection I had made and paid for. It made this heart wrenching need easier and let my Roxie breathe her last breath, and her heart to beat its last beat in the peace of our home while we held and comforted her for the last time. Thank you. We’re very appreciative of everything.

I can not thank enough Dr Diana Gersten for her kind service and support during the hard time of saying goodbye to my pet. Dr Gersten was very calming and sweet and professional on everything and I highly recommend her and this company.

Dr.Gersten is incredibly caring. She made our final moments with our boy very thoughtful and respectful in going at our own pace with saying goodbye. Being able to be at home in his bed overlooking the pool he loved so much, was the best gift to be able to give him in the end and we cannot thank Dr.Gersten enough for all she did to make him comfortable.
