Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

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.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

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

Pet euthanasia done the right way, we didn’t want to make the difficult decision that it was time to let go of our elderly dog but Dr Diana Gersten at CodaPet made the process as stress free as possible for us & our dog. From the ease of booking the service on line that gave us time to make the last few days as memorable as possible, to the communication before the appointment was gentle & supportive. When meeting Dr Diana Gersten in person she was very kind & compassionate walking us through the process, there was no pressure to rush & she sensed when to step back & give us time & space in our own home, our dog was calm & comfortable in his bed when she arrived & remained so throughout & that was perfect. Even though it’s one of the hardest things we have had to do I wouldn’t change a thing & would highly recommend the service without hesitation.
