ORE enduro, Wellington on 1st April 2007.
"I had my doubts if I would ever return to this weekend pursuit, due to the knee injury I experienced last year playing Badminton. I consulted John Hardy and I now have the knee I thought I left behind 10 years ago, I'm pain free competing in the enduro events which is something I thought I would never experience, oh and I'm playing Badminton again with no problems. Thanks for the 2nd
chance". Andy Chubb |

"I went into the
Sport and Orthopaedic Clinic at The Glen Hospital in Bristol with severe damage to my knee ligaments and cartilage. From the moment I first contacted the hospital the service was nothing short of magnificent. I got a consultation within 24 hours of my first phone call. I had a scan that day, a follow up consultation the next and was on the chopping table a day later. All the staff were very professional throughout. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the stay in hospital for my first operation and had no worries about returning for the second, as the quality of care was so high. My surgeon John Hardy was excellent and reassured me when times seemed hard. The follow up physio was also very good. I have now made a good recovery and have been back as an operational Aviation Fire Fighter, returning to normal duties which include hose running, vigorous realistic Fire training and ladder drills. I would like to thank all staff at the Glen and I will not hesitate to recommend the facility to other I know with injuries. Thanks." Darren

op". Mark Naylor |

"I went to John following a failed operation on my knee.
He diagnosed the problem that had been missed by the first surgeon. Now after
simple day case surgery by John Hardy I am back to my sport". Steven Fromm. |
| "A couple of shots of me skiing on day 12 after the op. I actually
skied (carefully) on day 11. My daughter is much faster than me now
but with your help I should now be able to stay in touch! Best
regards". Don Coates

Leonardo
Poggiali - "I am an Italian (London based) patient of Doctor
Hardy. He treated my knee in 2008/2009 after a ski accident and
surgery in Bologna. Thanks to his second opinion, skill with keyhole
surgery, supervision and the talented physiotherapists of the BUPA
Cromwell Hospital not only I recovered all the key knee function: last
winter I have also been able to ski 11 days with no problem what so
ever".
"Of course I am treating my knee with the right care, but it has been
holding extremely well under all circumstances and without any
bracer".

John.
Thanks this year I was player of the year for my club. |
| “With short notice, Mr John Hardy and his team fitted us into
his busy schedule and it was a very efficient service, which was
really appreciated. The Donjoy
Comfortform Wrist Splint was extremely comfortable and allowed me
to carry on with my training schedule. As a left handed Nationally sponsored player (one
of the AEGON
Future Stars Programme) having an undisplaced Salter-Harris II fracture on my left
dominant fifth metacarpal could have meant no tennis for 6 weeks, but
my Biomechanics Coach, Team
Bath Tennis and John Hardy have allowed me to cross train with my
right hand which will strengthen it and obviously improve my
backhand!” “Thank you all"!! – James Mitchell.

"A
picture from my cricket at the weekend. Exactly
10 days after John fiddling with my knee, here I am playing cricket at
my son’s school. I never would have believed it. Managed to bowl;
and bat – innings restricted by a yorker, not a knife on the knee!
Some things don’t change. Pleased to say that my
knee feels in great shape". Michael Saunders - Managing
