    Dr. Hardy was exceptional. She gave a thorough exam, used their x-rays to describe my knees' condition and her recommended treatment. She was extremely personable and listened to everything I (and my wife) said. She was excellent in injecting the gel so it wasn't too uncomfortable for me. She made it a 1 on the pain scale.

    I opted to see Dr. Hardy because of the length of wait to get onto Dr. Miller's calendar was significant.
