They have a brand new building, it's amazing! Dr. Kim is so awesome with all my pets. They all are caring people! They all love my Hami, he is 15-17 yr old Shih Tzu that I groom myself. He has a 6-8 inch beard. Everyone's favorite! read more

Tryed to make a appointment / to become a new patient, Joke All they was interested in a deposit, that would only cover a consultation , And nothing else, with no refunds. This place is only in it for the money , they say loving and caring for money only. I would recommend there current clients find a new veterinary soon before the care for money stops, as far as new clients just skip over there adds and number, unless you want them just to take your money. So sad this is what caring has came to just money. Feel bad about this review, unfortunately that is all the receptionist cared about is the non refundable deposit ! I just hang up at that point ! Sad read more

Dr Joseph has been our Veterinarian since her internship with Doc Barnette. She is so efficient and accommodating when it comes to the needs of our pets and farm animals. read more

I have been coming to Top Notch for several years now. I recently have had the pleasure of all my animals seeing Dr. Kim. She has been so helpful with our cats and dogs; especially our new puppy. Her knowledge in training has helped our daughter greatly. She doesn't suggest unnecessary bloodwork or medication or testing, only what may be necessary. Thank you Dr. Kim for taking on our furry family. read more

I can see by the other negative reviews and star rating that I'm not alone in my observations. Dr. Joseph is amazing (sorry to include her practice in this review) but Dr. Kim Riddlebaugh is both unprofessional and in my opinion and experience, not trustworthy. I take my dog to this vet when I am in town visiting family several times/ year- but I've been a patient there since they opened and have been had extensive procedures and diagnostics over the years here. My entire family takes their many pets here since it opened years ago. I live on the west coast, but am in town to help bc my father was dying at home in hospice care. I took my dog in a month ago bc she had a KNOWN CONDITION (collapsing trachea with recurrent bronchitis and asthma) that requires antibiotics and treatment from time to time. I saw Dr. Joseph- she's great and really helped and even suggested a couple other treatments I could try- no pressure. Unfortunately, my dog did not fully recover and needed to be seen again and Dr. Joseph was out for several days. Against my better judgment (I remember dr. Kim as being the inferior vet in the practice), I scheduled with Dr. Riddlebaugh. First of all, they were 1.5 hours late for my appointment, 1 full hour of which I had to spend sitting in my car in freezing temperatures while it was snowing. No apologies offered, btw, from the dr. when I finally was seen. Dr. Kim wasn't super interested in treating my dog without expensive and laborious time consuming blood work, which I explained I didn't want BC would be leaving town in a few days and bc my father passed away 2 days ago and i was just looking to continue the previous treatment plan to get me by until I could get home to my regular vet. At this point- she asked who my father was and then said that it wasn't the person she knew (hey, Dr. Kim, this is the point where it would've been polite to offer simple condolences, btw). She again suggested diagnostics, and even when I said no, she was willing to start 2 NEW, novel medications and injections and was obviously ok to prescribe these without the diagnostics, but I refused them as I didn't want to start any new meds at an out of town vet and without having a chance to research side effects. I showed her the inhaler I used for my dog and she said to continue as needed. I showed her the most recent X-ray from my home vet (on my phone) to show the trachea condition. I left with a refill on the meds from Dr. Joseph's visit 3 weeks before. The next day, I realized that the inhaler was empty and the top had broken off- and my dog passes out and has sleep apnea without it. It's very scary to watch and I can tell my dog is suffering. I called Top Notch, asked if I could get a refill for the inhaler meds to get me through the week until I get home to CA, bc my vet at home cannot call in meds across state lines. Dr. Riddlebaugh refused, saying it was because we hadn't run diagnostics. I think this is disgraceful that bc of her obvious greed or at least total apathy, she wouldn't refill a necessary, established medication for my suffering dog to get me through in extreme extenuating circumstances of being at home bc my father died a few days before. Any considerate person with a long-time patient/ client would've helped. Unreal. Especially since she was ready and willing to sell me other new medications without diagnostics. So now I am forced to make the decision to leave my legally blind, grieving mother days earlier than scheduled with funeral tasks she can't complete so I can go to my home vet for a refill, or stay up all night watching my beloved dog faint and gasp for air without her medication. Shame on you, Top Notch... you should get a new oftener, Dr. Joseph- this vet is bringing your practice down. I would also like to add that Dr. Kim never once asked if my home vet could send the copies of the diagnostics so she could then prescribe the medication, which would've been a plausible solution if she in fact cared at all about my dog. read more

Dr. Laurie Joseph recently bought this practice and I had used her in the past as my large animal vet for my farm. (She micro-chipped my camel!), and I had a problem with my 2 French bulldogs that had gotten into a slow acting rat poison. The company that made the poison recommended that I see my very first thing in the am even though symptoms wouldn't set in for 48-72hrs. I contacted my usual small animal vet which refused us service, stating that they weren't equipped to deal with such an issue and referred me to a very expensive emergency animal hospital in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, I checked my phone and Dr. Laurie texted me back and told me to bring them right into her office at Grace Veterinary. I brought them in and she took care of us immediately. She prescribed them the antidote that they needed to counter act the rat poison and my dogs are alive and well today because of her. She gets the job done and didn't turn me away even though I hadn't ever been to see her as a small animal vet. She is a true gem to the animal community. Thank you for saying my babies! read more

Top Notch Veterinary Service - Bella - Veterinarians Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania

See all

I have been with this practice every since the new took over from Grace. I have a Rottweiler who is mostly healthy. Yesterday morning she started crying and whimpering and was in so much distress I had no clue what was wrong I called the vet and ask them if I could bring her in that it was an emergency. They told me to come in at 3 o'clock it was at the present time 12:10 I excepted the appointment but then after hanging up the phone my precious little girl got worse. I called them back and asked if I could come in sooner they gave me an appointment for 215. When I arrived there was one person in the waiting room and I don't know who was in the treatment rooms but to make a long story short three people showed up while I was waiting ,one of those three was taken in before my poor dog that was sitting there whining and crying and nobody even addressed me I finally went up to the desk and asked when they were going to see her and they said I was next she was seen at 3:06 PM and sat in that waiting room for 2 1/2 hours in pain there was no mercy or compassion from these people even though Dr. Kim was very nice I was still upset at the fact that they did not take her in prior to other patients who were there merrily for yearly shots. After all these years of being a patient I will now be seeking a new veterinarian read more

I want everyone to know that I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone who loves their pet. We took our kitten here for a normal spay and declaw. They were very unprofessional and didnt take the time to talk to me when i had questions. She ended up with a failed kidney months later because of the vet there who did her surgery. We know this for a fact because she had to have emergency surgery to have a kidney taken out because of a mistake they made that could have been prevented. Our normal vet said he has never seen what happened to her in his many years as a vet. And we are still not out of the woods yet. Shes just over 2 yrs old, she was at Grace at about 6 months old. Please, take your pet to a vet who cares about the pets they are taking care of. I dont want anyone to go thru what we went thru and are still going thru. read more
