Comments:
"Dr. Espinosa believes in natural medicine and for example has prescribed homeopathic medicine for me that helped me to dilate up to 4cm! at home without contractions and without noticing it (and I am a first time mother!) They didn’t do the episiotomy enema, or shave me. They have a multi-position birthing stool which allows you to give birth in a squatting position or on all fours.When I gave birth (in January 2008) they didn’t have birthing pools but they hope to. I received personalized friendly treatment from Dr Espinosa. He gave me his email address and answered all (lots of them)of my queries very quickly. They generally don´t have any problems with doulas being present during the whole delivery process, but you need to ask beforehand. Both, Montse Cob and Elena from www.city-yoga.com, have already worked there. Both doulas speak English and Elena even speaks German" (BB)Click here to read an interview with Dr Espinosa (in Spanish)

Gynecologist Ana Suarez
Ana Suarez in a gynecologist who trained in the UK and speaks perfect English
Clinica Betancor 917302684
Comments:
"I chose Ana Suarez because she spoke English. I spoke no Spanish on arrival and I felt I didn’t want to have any misunderstanding when it came to the most important medical moment of my life. Shes a wonderful lady who was educated at Kings and so speaks perfect English. By the time I got pregnant I’d known her for a couple of years so I was happy for her to tell me what to do. I would thoroughly recommend her." (LH)Recommended by Lucy Hales

Dr Angel Rodriguez Mata
Dr Angel Rodriguez Mata works at the private clinic Conde de Penalver 62, Bajo D, 28006 Madrid 91 401 32 04
Comments:
"very sympathetic and speaks English. He was my doctor while pregnant & also delivered the baby. He has a private practice so you need medical insurance: mine was Adeslas. One other advantage is that he has his own scan machine so he doesn’t send you off to have your scans done elsewhere all the time. He also works in the Clinica Belen which is where he delivered my baby" (SK)Recommended by Sophy King

José Abascal 33 Piso Bajo-Pta B 28003 Madrid (Madrid)
Comments:
“The only gynaecologist in Madrid that I know delivers babies the most natural way possible. She has special delivery rooms in CLINICA LA MILAGROSA and now also at CLINICA BELEN. The only thing is that she charges an extra fee (even if you have private insurance) of two thousnad euros, perhaps now it is more...” (SB)Recommended by Saskia Bostelmann
