Internal Medicine
Christina L. Marino, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM)
Dr. Christina L. Marino received her veterinary degree from The Ohio State University and is an avid
Buckeye (O-H!). After veterinary school, she completed a small animal rotating
internship at North Carolina State University, followed by a small animal internal
medicine residency at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2016, she became a board
certified Small Animal Internist by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.
She has worked for multiple specialty hospitals including academic teaching hospitals
as an internist and ultrasonographer, as well as at general and emergency practices as
a wellness and emergency veterinarian because she really does enjoy all aspects of
veterinary medicine. She started her own mobile business in 2017, Small Animal
Veterinary Specialists, providing mobile internal medicine consultations and diagnostics
to general and emergency practices in all places she has lived - her most favorite was
New York City. She has lectured locally for general and emergency practices, state
veterinary medical conferences, and destination continuing education sites ensuring a
fun atmosphere for learning. She has published many scientific papers and is actively
engaged in research with urolithiasis and thyroid disease, always trying to test new
theories for diagnostics and treatment of her patients. While she likes all things in
veterinary medicine, including surgery (say what?!), her passion lies with feline
medicine, bone marrow diseases, intestinal dysbiosis, and anything with the kidneys.
When not in the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their 3 cats,
cooking, playing video games with her husband, travelling, and watching anything that
will make her laugh.
