My experience with Dr. Hardesty and his staff is one that I am proud to tell about. Knowing that it is common to be nervous about a procedure, I did extensive research to find the most qualified and reassuring surgeon/team. Having family in the medical field helped with this search and the first name out of their mouth was "Dr. Hardesty". Not only was he suggested by a practice up North, he was put forward by my primary care physician. From my first consultation meeting, Dr. Hardesty never failed to answer my, what seemed like, never ending list of questions. His staff are among the friendliest and helping I have come across. After the procedure, I was in minimal pain. I was able to move around and walk the very next day. I am 2 months post-op and am loving my results. The progress over the past 8 weeks have been phenomenal. The appointments after are reassuring in a sense that you are taken care off. The healing steps your body takes are explained to you which provides comfort. I find myself talking about this great outcome with people almost on a daily basis. The amount of times I have bragged about Dr. Hardesty's work is countless. It was an occurrence that has left a positive effect on me that I would happily do again!
Over 2 years ago, I considered having some plastic surgery after extreme weight loss. I had consults with three different doctors. I went to Dr. Hardesty first. Needless to say, I knew after our consult that he was "the one" and cancelled my other consults. I have had numerous procedures done by Dr. Robert Hardesty and his staff. I would say that Dr. Hardesty and his staff are the nicest, most helpful, supportive and informative people I have ever had concerning medical procedures. Dr. H takes his time with you, you never feel rushed. He is extremely knowledgable in his practice of plastic surgery. He has GENUINE concern for all his patients. His staff are the best, they have to be as I think Dr. H would never accept anyone working for him that wasn't the very best. When I see him and his staff now, I almost feel like we are all part of a family. I would never go to anyone else...EVER! I carry a stack of Dr. H's business cards and pass them out to my friends that are considering plastic surgery. They are all very impressed by my results and I enjoy referring people to him because I know they will get the same treatment I have...the best!
After 3 surgeries, with one completed by a costly Beverly Hills revision rhinoplasty expert, I was left without hope. Problems aesthetically and physically still existed. It was by fate that I found Dr. Hardesty. Another family member went to him for eyelift surgery and had positive things to say about him and his staff. Although his office (Riverside) is a great distance from me (LA Area), I was going to talk to him about eyelift surgery but began discussing the prior surgery history and problems with my nose. He seemed willing to try and fix it without me having to take out a loan against my house as I had to with the Beverly Hills surgeon. He also didn’t have the massive egotistic personality that I had experienced with prior plastic surgeons. He gave me hope that fixing my nose was still possible and he did so. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hardesty (and his friendly staff) for his humble bedside manner, willingness to help, and his ability to fix an issue that other specialists were unable to succeed or unwilling to address. I plan to use him again in the future for an eyelift when I’m ready and I would definitely recommend him and his staff to others.
