I would rec: her to anyone. It felt like she was part of our family when we had to say goodbye to our pet. We will always remember how kind and thoughtful she was

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

Dr Gersten was very caring,gentle,and considerate of our feelings. She took the time to talk with us , and listen to some stories about our dog, Yosa. Our beloved dog passed peacefully with my son and myself sitting by her bed patting and talking to her .I recommend that anyone in this painful situation would have Dr Gersten by their side for her professional expertise and emotional support .

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

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 was amazing. She was so kind and compassionate when we needed to lay our dog to rest. Dr. Gersten explained the process with detail. She allowed us as much time as we needed to say our final good bye.

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.
