Dr Raquel Delgado is a UK-trained, bilingual private GP (Family Doctor) based in Estepona, with over 20 years of clinical experience and a special interest in menopause and women's health. She qualified in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Granada in 1993, before moving to the United Kingdom in 1994 to complete her postgraduate medical training within the UK's National Health Service NHS.
Over the following two decades, Dr Delgado built a broad and thorough grounding in family medicine treating patients across every stage of life and every kind of health concern, from acute illness to long-term chronic disease management. This wide-ranging experience is the foundation of the whole-person approach she brings to every consultation today, whether that's in person at her Estepona clinic or online with patients across the Costa del Sol, Spain, and the UK.
Dr Delgado's interest in menopause care became personal through her own experience of menopause. Like many women, she found that getting clear, individualised advice wasn't always easy to come by appointments were often short, information was inconsistent and the emotional side of the transition rarely got the attention it deserved.
That gap between what women needed and what they were often getting led her to pursue further specialist training in menopause and hormonal health. It also fundamentally shaped the way she now supports women through perimenopause and menopause: with time, clarity, and a genuine understanding of what the experience actually feels like from the inside.
Today, Dr Delgado combines her broad experience as a family doctor with a particular focus on menopause, hormonal health, weight management, and preventive healthcare. Her approach is practical and personalised every option is explained clearly, and a treatment plan is developed together with each patient, rather than handed down.
Consultations are available in both English and Spanish, reflecting the bilingual community she serves across Estepona, Marbella, Sotogrande, and the wider Costa del Sol. Patients can choose to be seen in person at her Estepona clinic or via a secure online consultation, whichever suits their circumstances and location best.
Dr Delgado's guiding principle is simple: healthcare should feel collaborative, not clinical. She takes the time to listen properly, explains the reasoning behind every recommendation, and treats the person in front of her not just the symptom on the referral form.
