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.

Dr. Gersten was incredibly kind, compassionate, and informative during one of the hardest moments of my life. She made the process of saying goodbye to my beloved dog feel peaceful and respectful, taking the time to explain everything and allowing me the space to be present. What meant even more to me was that two weeks later, she personally brought Lilly’s ashes to my home. That level of care and thoughtfulness is something I will never forget. I’m so grateful to have had her support during such a difficult time. She truly goes above and beyond for both her patients and their families.

I want to thank CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia in Fort Lauderdale for their service. As one can imagine, this is not the easiest decision to make. I did not feel pressured not compelled to make this choice other than it was the right thing to do for Buddha. He was a wonderful dog and I believe he was given a proper, professional, and warming send off. I personally want to extend a thank you to Dr. Diana Gersten. The whole process was difficult for myself on an emotional and spiritual level; however, with Dr. Gersten's caring and gentle approach, i felt as ease. She was great with communication, confirmation in Buddha's condition and walked me through the steps accordingly. With Buddha having issues walking, having an organization willing to come to the house on 24 hours notice was a huge help and sigh of relief. I can not speak for other organizations, but if one needs an in home treatment, I would highly recommend CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia in Fort Lauderdale.

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

Calling Dr. Gersten to come to my home to help my fur baby girl pass was the best thing I could have done. I didn’t want to go to the vet, it is too stressful on you and your pet. Dr. Gersten was caring, kind and empathetic. I was able to be with my girl in her last moments in my home where she was comfortable and I could let my grief show. I will always be grateful to Dr. Gersten for allowing me to let Abbie go with dignity and love, once again thank you Dr. Gersten💕
