What pet parents are saying
She was caring and sympathetic to us all. It was very difficult for us but she explained how she was going to take care of our ailing Socks! Explained the process and made us all feel areas with a very hard decision. Thank you Dr Gersten
In the past two years we have lost both of our dearly loved pet cats to chronic Kidney disease. One was 16 years old, her brother, the second and more recent loss was 18 years. the euthanasia necessary to relieve suffering in their final days was an unwelcome but expected additional personal trauma. Their usual veterinarian's office was very familiar with the sister and brother cats and with our personal emotions, and suggested CodaPet, in the home euthanasia, as an option for Zorro. That is how we met Dr. Gersten. We made a home appointment so that the surroundings, the home, and our being able to hold and comfort Zorro would be possible. It is never easy to say goodbye no matter how necessary. Dr. Gersten was the very best , arriving at our home at the planned time, tending to our very ill cat, and for supporting my wife and I during that difficult time. Much better than a dash to a vets office amidst rush and confusion . She was also able to provide services for a cremation which was an added and ultimately highly appreciated service. My wife and I are very pleased with our experience and highly recommend Doctor Diana.
She was the absolute best. The whole process we were kept informed, she gave myself and my family plenty of time to say goodbye, and treated my Mya with such care afterwards. At first I felt such guilt over putting my dog to sleep, but with Dr. Gersten it was a feeling of immense relief and gratitude when it was all done, because I know she was happy at home and felt no pain through the whole procedure. Thank you again.
Dr Diana was wonderfully professional and personable during the experience. She made the difficult day bearable with her knowledge and genuine care for Remy. Thank you
Dr. Gersten made such an emotional and traumatic event flawless and loving. She is a gentle soul who understands what both the pets and parents are going through. She is the best!
Dr Gersten was wonderful. She was so kind to our whole family going through Maggie’s last time with us. Gave us all the time we needed She has such a loving and caring personality. Thank you so much Dr Gersten❤️
