What pet parents are saying

It’s still to hard to express but I will say she was very loving and caring. She explained everything and never rushed me. 10 of 10. I would rate her. Im so glad I could do this a home, a wonderful service that allowed privacy and peace.

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.

My mom's Cat took a sudden turn and we didn't realize we would be in the position of putting him down even 24 hours before. The Doctor was very kind and considerate as well as made the extra effort to come ASAP since he was having seizures every half an hour. We are grateful to her.

Our little dog, Gucci, 15 years old, went to heaven on March the 4th, in our home, in Pompano Beach. Like a little angel, with no pain, and surround by all our love. He had reached the end of his road. We could have hoped better for the end. It was calm, painless and filled with love. We will still have to heal ourselves from it’s absence. We will love you forever Gucci. Thank you dr Gesten. Notre petit chien Gucci, âgé de 15 ans, est parti au ciel ce matin. À notre maison de Pompano Beach. Nous n’aurions pu espérer mieux pour départ. Ce fut calme, serein, sans douleur . Notre Gucci est parti comme un petit ange, entouré de tout notre amour. Il nous restera à nous guérir de son absence. Nous t’aimerons pour toujours Gucci. Merci à dr Diana Gersten, pour sa douceur et ses bons mots. Nous recommandons fortement dr Gesten 🙏🏻💙.
