I am a Consultant Gynaecologist and Minimal Access Surgeon at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, where I co-lead the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE)-accredited Endometriosis Centre. I specialise in the diagnosis and management of complex gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, pelvic pain, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and menstrual dysfunction. My clinical practice is rooted in a holistic, patient-centred approach, offering a full spectrum of evidence-based treatment options, from conservative and medical therapies to advanced surgical interventions and research-led care.
I am passionate about empowering women to make informed decisions about their health. I provide comprehensive management plans for both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal symptoms.
My surgical expertise lies in robotic, laparoscopic (keyhole) minimal access techniques, with a particular focus on all stages of endometriosis. I regularly perform total laparoscopic hysterectomies, laparoscopic myomectomies, and cystectomies, aiming to minimise recovery time and optimise outcomes. I also offer hysteroscopic procedures and have extensive experience managing menstrual disorders such as heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, and premenstrual symptoms.
In addition to my clinical role, I serve as the NIHR Research Lead for Women’s Health in Yorkshire and Humber, helping to shape the regional research agenda and promote innovation in gynaecological care. I am also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Leeds, where I am actively involved in teaching and mentoring medical students and resident doctors. My academic interests include surgical simulation training and translational research in endometriosis, with a focus on improving diagnostic pathways and patient outcomes.
I am a member of the BSGE Laparoscopic nd research and inniovation portfolios committees, where I contribute to the national training of gynaecologists in advanced laparoscopic techniques. I hold dual postgraduate qualifications in surgery (MRCS) and obstetrics and gynaecology (MRCOG). My specialist training was based in the North-East of England, where I worked in leading endometriosis centres at Newcastle and South Tees Hospitals. I also hold an MD in Molecular Biology of Cancer from Newcastle University.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their care. Whether managing chronic pelvic pain, menstrual issues, or exploring surgical options, I am committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care tailored to each individual’s needs and values.

Patients see Miss Dorota Hardy as kind and clear in her care. She hears all of them, takes time, and gives good plans that help them. They feel heard, safe, calm, and glad with the help they get from her. Her main fields are women's health, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, and adenomyosis.
I initially came under Dr Hardy’s care following symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Thanks to her thorough approach to investigating my symptoms, an ultrasound identified an ovarian cyst, which raised some uncertainty around the diagnosis and the possibility of a borderline tumour. Throughout what was understandably a worrying time, Dr Hardy was incredibly reassuring and compassionate. She took the time to explain my scan findings, the potential diagnoses and the surgical options in detail, ensuring I felt fully informed and comfortable with the decisions being made. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I've received, from my initial consultation through to surgery and post surgery follow up, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Hardy to anyone seeking a highly skilled, thorough and caring gynaecologist.
I had a very positive experience at my gynaecology appointment with Miss Dorota Hardy. She was professional, knowledgeable and understanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns, discuss my symptoms thoroughly and explain the treatment options available. After struggling with my symptoms for so long, I left feeling listened to, reassured and hopeful about moving forward. I really appreciated the care and attention I received.
Miss Hardy was very professional, but also warm & sympathetic to my needs. I found her to be very concise, but thorough in her examination & her treatment suggestions. I felt she really “saw” me as an individual - and i was very impressed overall with both her & the assistant in the room. Would definitely recommend Miss Hardy to other people!
Thank you for listening to me , validating the awful experience I’ve had over the last year , giving me drugs that will help in the stop gap between surgery and most importantly making a clear and thorough plan to get me to and through surgery. * am very grateful.
A caring knowledgeable and informative consultation. A credit to her profession. Would not hesitate to recommend. Took time to understand and reassure while giving clear explanations.
Dr Hardy is truly the definition of an angel. ❤️ I have suffered with endometriosis for most of my life. For years, I went from doctor to doctor, struggling to get the support I desperately needed, often being made to feel like it was all in my head. I was finally diagnosed at 22, after years of living with the pain and uncertainty. I had my first operation in 2020, but unfortunately, I never truly felt that my endometriosis was gone. Then, in December 2025, I came across Dr Hardy, and I honestly cannot put into words how much she has changed my life. From the very beginning, she has listened to me, believed me and supported me in ways I had never experienced before. In July 2026, she performed complex surgery, which was a success, and the care and aftercare I received from her have been nothing short of incredible. I am now nearing four months post-operation, and I can honestly say I have never felt this good. After so many years of pain, uncertainty and feeling unheard, to finally feel like I have my life back is something I will never take for granted. Dr Hardy is an absolute angel, and I genuinely don't think she realises just how much she has helped me, not only physically but mentally too. She has given me so much more than successful surgery; she has given me hope, reassurance and a quality of life I thought I might never have. This was my second operation, and I know that I couldn't have got through this journey without her. I will forever be grateful for everything she has done for me. Thank you, Dr Hardy, for believing me, listening to me and quite literall...

Understanding the Link Between Endometriosis and IBS Many women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) experience symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits — but for some, these may also be signs of endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows outside the uterus. In this article, Dr Dorota Hardy and colleagues highlight how endometriosis and IBS often overlap, and why this can make diagnosis difficult. The research encourages gastroenterologists to look for patterns such as cyclical pain, symptom flares around periods, or poor response to standard IBS treatments, which might suggest endometriosis. The paper also discusses how diet and lifestyle can help. Approaches such as anti-inflammatory eating and a low-FODMAP diet may reduce gut symptoms and improve quality of life. By raising awareness and promoting closer collaboration between gastroenterologists and gynaecologists, this work aims to help women get earlier diagnosis, more personalised treatment, and better long-term outcomes.

Experience a holistic, patient-centred approach to endometriosis management While endometriosis affects around one in 10 women, it remains one of the most under-recognised chronic health conditions. It can cause inflammation, scarring and, for many, life-altering pain that goes far beyond just painful periods. Because there’s still no simple non-invasive diagnostic test, many patients see multiple clinicians before receiving answers. Miss Dorota Hardy and Mr James Tibbott have helped develop the Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Centre at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. Miss Hardy and Mr Tibbott work closely with patients to understand their goals and tailor treatment around what matters most to them. Alongside established advanced laparoscopic care, Spire Leeds Hospital is now developing a robotic surgery programme for endometriosis, using the only private da Vinci system in Yorkshire and the North East. Both clinicians practise at Spire Leeds. Visit missdorotahardy.co.uk and yorkshireendometriosis.co.uk
