I’m so grateful for Dr Rainsford’s care. In Cooma for my mum’s symptom management, she helped us navigate tough days with clear explanations and real warmth. The emotional support and practical plans gave us real relief.
Dr Rainsford listened without rushing and made sure we understood every option for pain management. It’s not easy talking about advance care, but her calm guidance made a stressful time feel a lot more manageable.
Professional, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. Our family in Cooma appreciated the thorough symptom control and the respectful conversations about future care planning. Couldn’t ask for more.
A relief to find a specialist who truly puts the patient and family first. Dr Rainsford’s pain management plan reduced my dad’s discomfort and we felt supported every step of the way in NSW.
My mother’s quality of life improved significantly after seeing Dr Rainsford. Clear communication, practical tips for home care, and a compassionate approach to emotional support made a big difference.
We travelled from nearby towns to Cooma and it was worth it. Dr Rainsford helped us balance symptom relief with respectful advance care planning. Felt heard and guided throughout the process.
Excellent palliative care with a human touch. The team’s attention to both physical symptoms and emotional comfort gave our family real reassurance during a challenging time.
