Dr. Diana Gersten was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive through text message, and helped me make the tough decision of putting my sweet kitty boy to rest. Her presence was very calming and she explained everything as she did it. She gave us as much time as we needed to love and kiss on him before she took him. She delivered his body to Monarch Pet Memorial Services where they did an absolutely beautiful job memorializing my baby. Thank you Dr. Gersten for making an awful situation bearable, and for your kindness, compassion, and patience with me.

Horrible to have to do, but the vet coming to our house made the process less traumatic for my dog. She got to pass at home surrounded by those who love her in her same familiar spot. The process was quick and the doctor was caring.

We are so thankful for Coda Pet and Dr. Gersten. Everything went smoothly and our beautiful 16 yr old pup was handled with incredible care. My husband and I also felt very supported in this difficult situation. We highly recommend them for gentle at home euthanasia when it’s time. ❤️

This is the most caring and special group of loving people I have ever seen. Thank for everything you have done for our Penny girl. We just can not say enough good thing about how you helped us all with setting Penny free from all her pain. She is always in hearts.

Dr Dana was a true angel during the difficult time to say goodbye to Lucy. Not only very professional but also with the kindest heart and spirit for this service, I can not thank her enough for her delicate and sweet company when she came to our home. She is truly amazing!
