What pet parents are saying

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. ❤️

Dr. Gersten was very patient and understanding. We discussed several options and after a thorough conversation we put our dear Sunny to sleep. I never felt rushed and the process was very smooth. Very capable doctor.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

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.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

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 🙏🏻💙.

Losing our girl, Macy, was extremely difficult. Dr. Diana was compassionate and caring. She gave us all the time we needed with Macy and answered all of our questions. We appreciate her support.

Dr Diana was truly compassionate through this very difficult time. We had to say goodbye to our sweet Bambi. She came to our home so Bambi could have her last moments in comfort around family. She walked us through each step and allowed us time to say our goodbyes. It’s a horribly sad thing to go through, but Diana was the right choice.
