A close and committed patient-doctor relationship is very important to Dr. Hardy. She enjoys all aspects of obstetrics and gynecology, including educating her patients and sharing in their journey through pregnancy and childbirth, well woman preventative care, and treatment of a wide range of gynecologic issues. She also has special interests in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, operative hysteroscopy, family planning, and perimenopause and menopause. Her devotion to women's health also extends beyond local patient care to her interest in third world medicine, participating in medical and surgical missions to Mexico, Nicaragua, and Nigeria. Dr. Hardy met her husband, Kyle, in medical school and they have chosen to make Houston their permanent home. Her husband is a Pathologist and they both enjoy the mutual connection that they share in medicine, as well as raising their two energetic boys, Patrick and Benjamin. In her spare time, Dr. Hardy likes spending time with her family, exercising, traveling, and she is an avid sports enthusiast.
