What pet parents are saying

Dr. Gersten was very kind and compassionate as we said goodbye to our dog, Laney. She was great communicating before, during, and after the visit. She gave us as much time as we needed and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend her for what is, obviously, not a very happy occasion.

Dr. Gersten is a kind, compassionate veterinarian who has handled the in home euthanasia for three of our furry family members. While these have been some of the hardest times in our lives, we appreciate her empathy and commitment to making such a difficult experience as painless as possible both for our pups and for us. Thank you, Dr. 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 🙏🏻💙.

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.

Dr Gersten was communicative before, during, and after our experience with her. She showed us amazing compassion and kindness during a very difficult time. We talked about it for days after, that our experience could not have been better.

We could not have asked for a better way to honor our Kaos, she was so respectful and kind to our feelings and did the most to make sure we felt informed and supported to help him transition to the rainbow bridge 🌈 thank you so much ❤️
