I have seen Dr. Hardwick-Smith for over 7 years now. I have 4 children, including fraternal twin boys that were born in May 2008. Dr. Hardwick-Smith has cared for me in all healthcare situations -- from cervical dysplasia to infertility to the surprise pregnancy later on of twins! She has taken an interest in my emotion well-being as well as physical. On top of being a fantasitc ob and gyn doctor, I developed serious pneumonia while 18 weeks pregnant with my twins. I was checked into Memorial Hermann for 1 week. The care I recieved from Dr. Hardwick-Smith (and Dr. Jurney) was amazing. After that ordeal, an ultrasound revealed the twins might both have Down's Syndrome. Again, Dr. Hardwick-Smith was there for me emotionally and physically. When I was scared to death of the c-section, Dr. Hardwick-Smith's bedside manner was uncomparable and extremely caring and kind. She has been involved in my life for years now. I would not ever consider changing doctors. Her nurses, including her Nurse Practitioner Brandi, are caring, compassionate and very competent. Dr. Hardwick-Smith truly is the best of the best. Anyone that has her as their ob/gyn caregiver can rest easy knowing they are in the best hands possible.
Pros: She has 3 children of her own. She understands infertility and high-risk pregnancies from her own personal experience. Her medical knowledge is vast.
