About Dr Karl Ruhl
I am committed to working in partnership with patients and surgeons to create positive patient experiences.
I have a wide range of professional interests which include working with patients and obstetricians to facilitate pain relief during labour or for Caesarean sections, as well as anaesthesia for diverse surgical specialties including head and neck, plastics, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology, hepatobiliary and colorectal surgery.
My role is to help patients achieve their goals in a way that is tailored to individual needs and guided by their previous experiences, and I facilitate care which puts safety and comfort at the forefront of every interaction.
By way of background, I completed my medical degree at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, and was based at The Royal Melbourne Hospital for most of my junior doctor and specialist training years. I completed fellowship programs in both obstetric anaesthesia (Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne), as well as cardiac and liver transplant anaesthesia (King’s College Hospital, London).
I work at a number of hospitals in Melbourne including:
Royal Melbourne Hospital
Royal Women’s Hospital
Epworth Freemasons, Epworth Richmond and Epworth Eastern Hospitals
Melbourne Private Hospital
Frances Perry House
Windsor Private Hospital
