What Is 
Membership Pediatrics
& How Does It Work?

Quality, Transparency, Consistency

Pediatric care at YOUR pace—leave behind the headaches of insurance and the feverish rush of 15-minute appointments.

"10000% recommend Trailblazer Pediatrics...Dr. Marquez takes the time to listen, and goes above and beyond. I made a next-day appointment, followed her recommendations, and my little one was better the following day. Very responsive, with a detailed follow-up email reiterating everything we discussed. I'm so grateful!"

–Karla Bush

"We found Rachel a week after my daughter’s birth (now 5 y/o)...she played a huge role in saving her life when she knew something was wrong! My daughter is autistic and medically complex, and we only trust Rachel and Trailblazer Pediatrics!"

–Marina A.

"Rachel doesn’t skimp on care in any aspect...the most wonderful provider we've ever dealt with. After our concerns went ignored by other offices, our youngest was barely 5 lbs (from undiagnosed FTT)... then we found Rachel, and within weeks he was an entirely different baby. She saved our boy's life, plain and simple!"

–Dorkdessa

A Patient-Centric Model

Bypass Insurance Backups With Direct Primary Care (DPC)

​DPC smooths the journey of pediatric healthcare by removing the roadblocks of insurance billing & bureaucracy that come between patients and providers.

 

This lets your provider focus on you—while insurance handles what it's best at (and designed for): covering unforeseen emergencies.

Predictable Monthly Costs

No hidden fees, copays, deductibles, or haggling for insurance coverage.

Unlimited Provider Access

Direct access as needed; via text, phone, in-person visits, or telehealth.

Relationships Lead The Way

Holistic pediatric care is possible, if we color a bit outside the usual lines.

Relationship Pediatrics

With Rachel Marquez, DNP

I'm here because I've experienced the alternative—on both sides of the exam table; as a pediatric NP and as a parent myself. The DPC membership model frees me to pursue my core mission: to be a steady, consistent guide for kids and parents, through all the ups & downs of childhood. 

​

Membership pediatrics enables me to focus not just on treating illness—but also preventing problems before they arise. That's a lot easier to do when we have an ongoing relationship, instead of hasty visits with a rotating lineup of providers rushing through an overbooked schedule.

​

Pediatric care isn't a tally of billable services...it's a complex human journey.

Key Differences: Membership Pediatrics vs. Insurance Model

Along with the elevated human-experience and relational aspects, DPC can save money overall— compared to the traditional insurance model with its hidden fees, extra administrative costs, and profit-driven decision-making.
