She recently retired as the Founder and President of Complete Women’s Care Center which she opened as a solo practitioner in 2002 and grew to be the largest all-female OB/GYN group in the country by 2019.
In 2020 Dr. Susan decided to start her “second act” as the founder of Complete Midlife Wellness Center, a concierge practice focused on helping women find their full aliveness in midlife and celebrate the amazing opportunities that menopause brings.

Dr. Hardwick-Smith is an associate of the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America, the American Academy of Cosmetic Gynecologists, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and was the first gynecologist in Houston to focus on cosmetic gynecology more than 12 years ago when the field was just emerging. She has spoken at national conferences on cosmetic gynecologic topics and her opinions have been published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery, as well as being a co-author of a landmark study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. She is an expert in menopausal health and sexuality and has recently completed a large research project regarding this topic, culminating in important book helping women to navigate this new stage of life while remaining vibrant, connected and sexually satisfied. “Sexually Woke” was published in 2020. Go check out my Evoso Live Talk, “Secrets of the Sexually Woke”.
