Dr. Elmer is the perfect mix of to the point, empathy and compassion. She has been with my animals for the good and the worst. I could never thank her enough for all she has done for my family and my animals. - Abby Kay
The amazing Doc Elmer and staff at Starlight vet are unparalleled and our fur babies agree! From saving Sadie to later helping deliver her little pups, true miracles! And it hasn't ended there, Doc ensuring to help pursue Justice for Sadie and other pets shows her true compassion and love for animals! Thank you for being so special and amazing to our family! - Jen DeNure Heller
Dr. Elmer is an incredible vet and always goes above and beyond. She is loving and compassionate to our dogs and to us. She gives us best and worst case scenarios and never leaves out the fine details.
Today, one of our dogs was bit by a woodchuck and we of course panicked. She was very great by reassuring us that all would be okay. When we took him to the vet she met with us outside the clinic because we are not comfortable with him being away from us for an exam. The other vet we called does not allow you to enter the building with your pet or be present for their care, because of COVID. Dr. Elmer made us feel at ease and was amazing when it came to caring for our dog, once again.
She was there to deliver our puppy, and 11 others, via emergency C-section she performed almost 2 years ago.
She was there when we thought our dog ate something because he was vomiting, not potty-ing, and refusing to eat. She was there multiple days in a row, outside of clinic hours, to do x-rays and try different things. Unfortunately, we did have to do surgery for him, but she was there every step of the way reassuring us that all would be well.
She was there when our other dog got a 105+ degree fever after a vaccination. We had been looking for answers for years as to why he was having these issues. We had seen other vets who just performed the same tests over and over with no explanation, we had thousands of dollars in but no answer. Doc did different tests and in one visit determined that he likely has an autoimmune disorder. Since discovering this, he has a different route of care with her. She never forgets this and has his care in her best interest every time.
Dr. Elmer always goes above and beyond and today is another day that we are so incredibly grateful for her care. - Kimberly Wright♥️

Dear Jean and Staff, I want to express my appreciation for the care and support you gave to Ruby and I during her pregnancy. Jean, has taken her personal time to always call me and guide me. You are truly an exceptional veterinarian. So kind and compassionate. - Sincerely, Patty, Ruby and Tucker
We have been patients of Dr. Jean for over two years now and I have and will continue to recommend her and the staff to everyone. She has always been awesome with our pets but she went and continues to go WAY above and beyond with a young cat we saved. She is compassionate, kind, and honest; her staff is the same. Thank you Dr. Jean and “Oliver” sends his love :) - Heidi Norden
There are so many reasons to recommend Starlight Veterinary Clinic, so I'll list only a few now. Their compassionate care of animals, whether domestic or feral (our outside kitties owe their lives and good health to Dr. Elmer and her staff). The *great* shopping site for regular or prescription foods. Their understanding and willingness to find solutions that will work with customers' wallets and patients' preferences. The *absolute* certainty that they will provide help when needed (I'm thinking of our most recent Thanksgiving Day emergency). Their general "good neighbor" behavior, which includes fostering so many animals. Thanks, guys!!!! - Kafryn Lieder
Dr. Elmer and staff were absolutely wonderful and kind as we made the hardest decision to put our dog to rest as he was suffering from cancer. She does not nickel and dime or recommend unnecessary testing and is so truthful. We cannot thank her enough for her kind heart and wonderful staff. HIGHLY recommend. - Meghan Holum
With three dogs, I’m constantly at the vet. Dr. Elmer at Starlight is by far the best vet I’ve ever gone to. It’s easy to get in for an appointment and the level of care and skill is fabulous. I’ve also had to make emergency visits and she’s responsive and ready to help at a moments notice. I’ve recommended numerous friends and have only heard great things from them as well! - Jordan Durst
It's probably been well over 12 years now since a friend recommended veterinarian Dr. Jean Elmer to me. During that time, I have ALWAYS found Dr. Jean to be extremely caring and compassionate with our animals. When we had problems with our goats, she treated them with the exact same respect and kindness, the same caring and compassionate bedside manner -- that I have always seen her use with our horses and our dogs. Dr. Jean's vet work is nothing short of top notch -- and she is tenacious at getting to the root of the medical issue in order to turn things around. She doesn't give up if she thinks the animal has a chance to get better, -- yet she will be very honest about the animal's prognosis. The bottom line is that I value Dr. Jean's veterinary skills and extensive knowledge. I respect her medical opinion -- and I trust Dr. Jean with the health and welfare of the animals that I consider part of my family. - Jan Werth
