“I believe that children are not little adults. I have dedicated my professional career to understanding all the aspects that make Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery a highly specialised field.”

Why Choose a Paediatric Orthopaedic
Specialist?
Many people don’t realise this, but children’s bones, joints, and injuries are very different from adults.
Their bodies are growing, changing, and developing- which means their care needs to be precise, specialized, and handled with the future in mind.
As an Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in Paediatric Care, I work exclusively with children –treating everything from injuries and fractures to more complex orthopedic conditions.
I offer specialised Paediatric Orthopaedic Care in Pretoria and George, South Africa

Hi, I am Prof Ruan Goller
I strive to help children get back to being children, and free them from as much pain and discomfort as I can. I have been in private practice since 2010, and I am currently head of the Paediatric Orthopaedic Unit at Steve Biko Academic Hospital.
As a father myself I understand the worry and anxiety that comes with an injured child and as a Specialist it is my passion to help.
My Mission
My mission is to make sure children receive the best paediatric care possible- so they can get back to being kids, free from pain and discomfort.
I aim to achieve this by treating each child in my care with all the skills and knowledge I have, ensuring I have a good relationship with my patients, their care-givers and my medical team and making myself available to other healthcare practitioners for teaching and advice.
I accept speaking invitations to help expand the knowledge and understanding of this highly specialised field.
Are you a Medical Practitioner who needs some advice?
If you’re a fellow healthcare provider looking for advice, a second opinion, or guidance on a paediatric orthopaedic case – you’re very welcome here.
Sharing my knowledge
I’m passionate about sharing knowledge—especially when it comes to improving paediatric orthopaedic care.
If you’re organizing a conference, academic event, workshop, or webinar and are looking for a speaker to contribute insight on paediatric orthopaedics, surgical training, or the importance of child-specific care, I’d be honoured to be involved.
