Dr Gersten was very kind and compassionate during such an emotional time. We can honestly say that going through this at home with our beloved Finnegan, comfy in his bed, outside in the warm sun and surrounded by his family was the gentlest way to do this difficult process. Thank you Dr. Gersten.

Dr. Gersten was extremely kind, patient and compassionate during the entire process. I felt very comfortable with her and the way she carefully explained everything. My expectations were exceeded today when I received my memorial package. I will definitely recommend Coda Pet and Dr. Gersten to family and friends!

We had no idea that at home euthanasia was an option until hearing from a friend that they did an at home passing for their dog. Once we knew it was time, we searched online and found Codepet and Dr. Diana Gersten, and she was beyond amazing. It is such a better experience to have your little loved one pass at home in their own bed and Dr. Diana was great with us. She gave us so much time to get Holly comfortable and give her some snacks and she was genuinely caring and interested in hearing stories about Holly and what made her so special. She allowed us to take our time and give Holly so much love as we said goodbye and she drifted off to sleep. Dr. Diana also gave us plenty of time to grieve as well. This was absolutely the best choice we could have made to say goodbye to our little girl Holly. Thank you Codapet and Dr. Diana Gersten for being there and making such an awful situation the best it could be.

Dr. Diana Gersten is one of the most caring, kind and professional Vets you will ever meet. Our family can not thank her enough for helping guide us through the step by step end of life process for both of our 18 & 19 year old fur babies. It is never easy to make an end of life decision for your pet, but Dr. Gersten provides a thorough exam of your pet as soon as she arrives to your home and explains everything to you so that you know you are making a well informed decision for your pet. Dr. Gersten and Codapet provide the most compassionate and private end of life services for your pet family members. Thanks Dr. Gersten & Codapet.
