Dr. Ryan Llera

I am a 2006 graduate of the University of Illinois. I am originally from Miami, Florida and moved up to Canada because I married a Canadian! After graduation, I did an internship at the Hollywood Animal Hospital (a large 24-hour emergency/general practice) in Hollywood, FL and stayed on as an associate veterinarian for two additional years. These years, plus the following few, have prepared me for a large variety of cases, though my primary interests are in endocrinology (diabetes, thyroid disease, etc.), dentistry, and especially surgery (including non-routine procedures).

I have been in Kingston since 2011 where my wife, Dr. Jennifer Weeks-Llera (also a vet), and I bought our first home in 2012 and welcomed our amazing daughter a few years ago. We share our home with two wonderful (and crazy) dogs, two uniquely different cats, a horse and a rabbit, for a grand total of 25 legs (one of the kitties is a rescue who needed an amputation).

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, learning history, listening to 80's hair metal, gaming, working in my yard, and especially spending time with my kid! Outside of the clinic, I have a blog at drryanllera.com and I guest write for the Kingstonist news site. I’ll see you soon, and if you want to keep up with what I am doing, please follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!
