TRAILBLAZER:
A New Kind of Pediatrics in ABQ

Personalized. Thorough. Unrushed.

Because childhood is too important to cram into a hurried 15-minute appointment, with someone who barely knows you. Welcome to the next step on a better journey...​

About Trailblazer

Direct Primary Care puts you in charge of your child's health.

Instead of maximizing appointments per day, my practice model is all about building a lasting relationship with each patient and family. Direct Primary Care (DPC)​​ puts the patient first—always. As a Trailblazer patient you get a consistent, reliable, and trusted guide; through every fever, growth spurt, and milestone.

Unlimited Appointments

One flat monthly fee; same-day or next-day, in-person or telehealth availability for members. 

Direct Access to Your Provider

Get in touch as needed, via HIPAA-compliant text, phone, or video.

Longer Visits = Complete Care

Time to talk, problem-solve, and go deep on more complex issues. POC tests (Flu, strep, covid, etc.) included for members.

Rachel Marquez, DNP

I became a pediatric nurse practitioner to care for children in a more holistic way—supporting their health, growth, and development with the time and attention they truly deserve. Whether it’s a quick question or a complex concern, my goal is to provide thoughtful, comprehensive care without rushing families out the door. Trailblazer Pediatrics is about returning to what matters most: putting patients first.

Childhood is a journey of important moments... and none of them should be rushed.

Testimonials

A Word From Trailblazer Patients

"You’re an incredible doctor, person, and have always advocated for my kids, when I felt others wouldn’t listen. Thank you for putting up with my constant questions. You truly have made an impact, and for that I am so grateful. My daughter always says, 'I want to be a doctor like Dr. Rachel,' and I hope one day she does.”

–Maygan

“You’re truly the best pediatrician in New Mexico. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and for always delivering exceptional care to your patients.”

–V.B.

“Thank you for how seriously you took our concerns and our baby’s care. He is absolutely thriving now, with help from you. Little man weighed in at 12lbs today, just the chunkiest smiliest baby! I don’t know where he would be without your guidance. Thank you for saving our boy, Dr Rach!”

How it works

Your Journey; Your Pace

We’ve all been led to believe the traditional healthcare model is the only option: billing insurance for every small service, rushed visits designed to squeeze in as many patients as possible, and those surprise bills that show up later for things you didn’t even realize weren’t covered.

Trailblazer Pediatrics takes a different path. With Direct Primary Care, your child’s care isn’t dictated by insurance companies. You decide when your child needs to be seen, and we take the time that’s truly needed. Best of all, you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying each month for comprehensive, non-emergency pediatric care—no surprises, no hidden costs.

Meet & Greet Consultation

Before you commit to anything, we can have an in-depth conversation about how it all works, and to make sure we're a good fit. You can ask any questions you have, and we'll take time for transparency and education, so you can decide what's best for your family.

Ongoing Pediatric Relationship

As a Trailblazer patient, you won't see a rotating cast of providers, asking the same repeat questions. We'll know each other, and develop a deep lasting relationship—from a few days old, to adolescence...and then I'll guide the transition to adult medicine.

Flat Monthly Membership

Instead of juggling insurance billing every visit, being careful to stay within coverage—members pay a monthly subscription fee that includes unlimited appointments (in-person or virtual) and most typical pediatric needs.
