Dr. Gersten is a very kind, soft spoken, compassionate person. She made a difficult situation a beautiful one. I was able to hold my baby as he went “Somewhere over the Rainbow “🌈 . She made me feel very comfortable as she did with Pacino. She let me spend as much time before and after the procedure with him. I would highly recommend her. She is a beautiful person. Thank you Dr. Gersten for everything.

As hard as a process of choosing when is the right time to put your pet to sleep is, I can say our vet and coda pet made that process much easier. Our beloved dog was able to remain in the comfort of her own home without stress and anxiety. It was a peaceful process for her and the care and consideration the vet had for my feelings and time were greatly appreciated. I received her ashes back much quicker than expected and the package was just what I hope for. Thank you for everything.

It’s still to hard to express but I will say she was very loving and caring. She explained everything and never rushed me. 10 of 10. I would rate her. Im so glad I could do this a home, a wonderful service that allowed privacy and peace.

Dr.Gersten is incredibly caring. She made our final moments with our boy very thoughtful and respectful in going at our own pace with saying goodbye. Being able to be at home in his bed overlooking the pool he loved so much, was the best gift to be able to give him in the end and we cannot thank Dr.Gersten enough for all she did to make him comfortable.

My mom's Cat took a sudden turn and we didn't realize we would be in the position of putting him down even 24 hours before. The Doctor was very kind and considerate as well as made the extra effort to come ASAP since he was having seizures every half an hour. We are grateful to her.
