Meet Dr. Raquel Espinol
As a young child growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dr. Espinol was inspired by science and nature which led her to earn her Bachelors of Science in Biology from Santa Clara University, with a pre-medical emphasis. After college, she struggled with her own thyroid condition which was not successfully managed until she discovered naturopathic medicine and worked with a naturopath. This first-hand success inspired her to pursue a career in naturopathic medicine.
Experience and History
She moved to Arizona to attend SCNM and during her first year, Dr. Espinol shadowed Dr. Christianson at Integrative Health. Dr. C had a big influence on her medical studies and shaped her focus toward naturopathic treatment of thyroid, adrenal and other hormonal conditions.
Dr. Espinol loves building a partnership with her patients, creating a visit that is both empowering and educational so that you can achieve optimal wellness to live your best, vibrant self!
