Charm City Veterinary Hospital Team

Dr. Karbonik has a very honest and practical approach when it comes to taking care of her patients. She knows how important each pet is to its owner and works hard to ensure that she provides the best care possible to keep each pet healthy.

Dr. Karbonik has been practicing veterinary medicine in Maryland since July 2007, after graduating from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at VirginiaTech. Prior to pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, Dr. Karbonik earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematical Business from Wake Forest University.

Dr. Karbonik’s full-time residence is on Maryland’s eastern shore in a small town called Neavitt. There, she resides with her husband (Mike), her pug (Rick), and her tuxedo cat (Bob). She enjoys traveling, fishing, crabbing, boating, watching and playing sports, and hosting gatherings at the shore house with family and friends.

After attending Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, I began practicing veterinary medicine and have continued to do so since 2004. I pride myself on being able to establish good relationships with clients by having strong communication skills and empathy. This allows me to provide excellent care for their pets.

In my spare time, I’ll be kickboxing, traveling, cooking, skiing, and cheering for the Baltimore Ravens.

Hi, I’m Dr. Colin Hansen and I’m the veterinarian at Charm City Veterinary Hospital. I’ve been practicing for three years and went to the University of Pennsylvania for veterinary school. My favorite part of working here is offering our clients the best experience and personalized care. In my free time, I like to run, sail, check out new bars/ restaurants, travel, and see live music and friends.

Ashley started her veterinary career in 2012 as a kennel assistant. She joined the CCVH team as a technician in August 2022 and, in October 2023, became our practice manager. She is passionate about client & team education, as well as preventative medicine. Originally from WV, she moved to MD a decade ago with her husband and three Siberian Huskies. Outside of work, she loves kayaking & creative pursuits like photography. She earned her degree in Liberal Arts from WVU and gained her CVBL (certified veterinary business leader) certification in early 2024.

Chris Cinelli, a Fear-Free Certified RVT, brings 16 years of veterinary experience to our team, joining us from Nexus Specialty Center in November of 2024. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Chris relocated to Maryland in 2020 and now resides in Baltimore City with their spouse, Fred, and their two beloved cats, Snows and Mabel. Chris has a passion for keeping pets safe, especially while under anesthesia. She takes particular pride in working with fearful or aggressive cats, helping them feel as comfortable as possible. Outside of work, she enjoys a variety of hobbies, including reading, baking homemade bread, watercolor painting, listening to music, and exploring Baltimore’s food scene. Her love for animals started with their first pet, a re-homed rabbit named Fluffy. Fun facts about Chris – she once studied and sang bel canto opera, but she can’t whistle, and her left leg is nearly an inch longer than her right! CCVH is thrilled to welcome Chris & her expertise to our team.

Mandy joined the CCVH team as a Nurse/Technician in November 2024, bringing over 10 years of veterinary experience with her. Born in Baltimore City and raised in the county, Mandy now calls Abingdon home, where she lives with her 5-year-old son and her beloved pets: two small dogs, Kramer and Lainey, and her cat, Tony Paws. Her love for animals began in childhood with her favorite pet, Skipper, a Beagle/Lab mix who was her loyal companion for 15 years. Mandy’s passion for veterinary medicine stems from her joy in interacting with all kinds of animals and their humans. She finds the field incredibly rewarding and prides herself on her ability to win over even the “spicier” dogs. Outside of work, Mandy cherishes spending time with her son, often enjoying Mommy-and-me days or walking her dogs along local trails. She appreciates the simple joys of outdoor adventures, especially in the fall. Mandy also loves attending hot yoga classes, exploring new restaurants, crafting, and going to comedy shows.

At home, she is a proud mom to two wonderful daughters and two beloved “house panthers” who keep her on her toes. She loves building connections—not only with her coworkers but also with the pets and families she meets every day.

Outside of work, she enjoys exploring with her girls, photography, movies, hockey, camping, crafting, and music. She also has a special appreciation for beautifully crafted animated films. One of the most cherished parts of her life was the bond she shared with her Soul Kitty, Kaida, who was by her side for 19 years.

She is thrilled to be part of the CCVH family and looks forward to making a difference in the lives of pets and their people!
