The nearest urgent care to Bal Harbour
TrufaMED is at 9445 Harding Avenue in Surfside, two blocks west of Bal Harbour Shops and about a two-minute drive south of the Village of Bal Harbour. It is the closest Joint Commission-accredited urgent care to every Bal Harbour address, the only accredited urgent care in Florida and one of just eight nationwide. A board-certified physician leads every shift, with digital X-ray, labs, ultrasound, and EKG on-site so most visits finish in 20 to 45 minutes.
Diagnosis and treatment, same day
When the answer needs an X-ray, a lab, or both, we do them in the same visit, not across three appointments in a week. Every service below is walk-in, no referral required.
Walk-in urgent care
Fever, flu, strep, UTIs, infections, allergic reactions, and minor injuries, diagnosed and treated in one visit under physician oversight.
On-site digital X-ray
Digital X-ray for sprains, fractures, chest, ribs, and abdomen, with same-day results read by a physician in about ten minutes. No referral.
On-site lab testing
A CLIA-certified lab running rapid strep, flu, COVID, RSV, urinalysis, pregnancy, glucose, and basic chemistries, with results during your visit.
Ultrasound and EKG
Point-of-care ultrasound for abdominal, pelvic, and soft-tissue imaging, plus a 12-lead EKG for cardiac evaluation, all on-site.
IV fluid therapy
Physician-ordered IV therapy for dehydration, hangover, and immune support, in-clinic or by mobile IV at your Bal Harbour residence.
Pediatric urgent care
Walk-in care for children three months and up: ear infections, strep, fevers, rashes, and minor injuries, in a calm, family-friendly setting.
Hyperbaric oxygen
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for recovery, wound healing, and post-procedure care, available by appointment at the Surfside clinic.
Diagnostic testing
Comprehensive testing services and confidential health screening, with same-day results and physician review for most panels.
Telehealth
Physician-led telehealth visits for refills, minor concerns, and follow-ups, when an in-person exam is not required.
Hospital-grade care, two minutes away
Bal Harbour residents expect speed, privacy, and a physician who answers, not a crowded chain or a long ER wait. TrufaMED is the closest accredited option, with the same Joint Commission standard major hospitals are held to, and a private, boutique setting built for the way the neighborhood lives.

Private, confidential care for a private community
Bal Harbour draws a high concentration of professionals, executives, and public figures. Our intake, our physician-only evaluation model, and our Joint Commission-audited records all support care that stays confidential.
Private check-in
Request private check-in at the door or by phone ahead of time. We routinely care for patients with a privacy requirement and design the intake and waiting-area flow around it.
Concierge coordination
Your building or hotel concierge can coordinate a walk-in visit, a mobile IV at the residence, a telehealth consult, or an HBOT session. We keep a direct call-list with concierge teams across Bal Harbour.
Care without the waiting room
For patients who prefer not to sit in a waiting room at all, we offer mobile IV, telehealth, and concierge memberships with in-home visits to your residence or suite.
Same-day care for everything non-emergency
From a sudden fever to a suspected sprain, with a physician, on-site diagnostics, and same-day results.
Pediatric urgent care, walk in any day
We see children three months and up daily, with pediatric-sized equipment and physicians experienced with kids. A full walk-in option for families at Ruth K. Broad K-8, Bay Harbor Day School, and other nearby schools.
What we treat
Fever, ear pain, strep, rashes, asthma flares, stomach bugs, playground and sports injuries, and routine sick-day visits for children three months and older.
How a visit works
A physician evaluates your child, orders any needed rapid test (strep, flu, COVID, RSV, urinalysis) or X-ray on-site, and discharges with clear written instructions, usually within the hour.
When we refer out
For infants under three months, or for a serious pediatric concern, we stabilize and coordinate transfer to a pediatric emergency room. We will always tell you directly which level of care is right.
Clear pricing, no surprise bills
We accept most major plans, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Oscar Health, and Medicare. We do not currently contract with or ; those patients can use our published self-pay rates and submit for out-of-network reimbursement on their own. Many Bal Harbour residents choose self-pay for privacy.
Starting prices; final cost depends on the services you need. See the full sheet on our self-pay pricing page, or read the self-pay guide.
Close to the Shops, the Village, and the towers
Our Surfside clinic on Harding Avenue is a short drive from every Bal Harbour building and the neighboring communities. Most residents reach us in four to six minutes.
When the ER is the right call
For most non-emergency complaints, urgent care is faster and far less costly than the ER. There are times when an emergency room is the right level of care, and we will always tell you directly.
Life-threatening emergencies
For chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe trauma, difficulty breathing, altered mental status, or uncontrolled bleeding, call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency room.
Major surgery
We do not perform inpatient surgery or complex procedures. We can evaluate you and coordinate a referral to the right surgical specialist.
Infants under three months
For very young infants, or a serious pediatric concern, we stabilize and coordinate transfer to a pediatric emergency room.
Psychiatric emergencies
For a psychiatric crisis or suicidal thoughts, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or go to an emergency department.
From a walk-in visit to a private physician
Many Bal Harbour patients start with a walk-in visit, build a relationship with a physician, and enroll in concierge medicine for ongoing continuity. Membership adds direct physician access, annual executive physicals, advanced labs, and priority scheduling, and you can enroll during or after your urgent care visit.
Led by board-certified physicians
A board-certified physician leads every shift. Our clinical leadership brings hospital-grade training in emergency medicine and surgery to a boutique walk-in setting.
Dr. Naidoo leads the clinical team as Medical Director. Board-certified in emergency medicine with deep expertise in adult and pediatric emergency care, trauma, and critical care, from high-volume emergency departments across the East Coast.
Dr. Gedalia is TrufaMED’s Chief Medical Officer and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Board-certified in general surgery with extensive experience in procedural medicine, wound care, and advanced diagnostics. He oversees clinical protocols across all TrufaMED services.
Bal Harbour urgent care, answered
What Bal Harbour residents ask most before walking in.
How far is TrufaMED from Bal Harbour?
About two minutes. Our clinic at 9445 Harding Avenue in Surfside sits just south of Bal Harbour Shops and the Village of Bal Harbour, and most residents reach us in four to six minutes depending on their building and the time of day. That makes TrufaMED the nearest Joint Commission-accredited urgent care to every Bal Harbour address.
How close are you to Bal Harbour Shops?
Bal Harbour Shops sits at 9700 Collins Avenue. TrufaMED is at 9445 Harding Avenue, two blocks west and slightly south, a two-minute drive or a short ride-share. For shoppers, retail staff, and nearby residents, we are the closest clinic for same-day urgent care, IV therapy, or testing.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Walk in anytime during clinic hours, no appointment needed. You can also reserve a slot through our patient portal in under a minute, which trims your wait at the front desk. Reserved slots are honored on arrival. For guaranteed privacy or a specific physician, a concierge membership provides scheduled same-day access.
How much does an urgent care visit cost without insurance?
A self-pay visit starts at $195 for a physician evaluation. Common add-ons start from: digital X-ray $120, EKG $110, and a rapid strep or flu test $60. Final cost depends on the services you need, and we share pricing up front with no surprise billing. Many Bal Harbour residents choose self-pay for privacy. See our self-pay pricing page for the full sheet.
What insurance do you accept for Bal Harbour patients?
We accept most major plans, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Oscar Health (urgent care), and Medicare. We do not currently contract with or . Patients with those plans can use our published self-pay rates and submit for out-of-network reimbursement on their own. Call (305) 537-6396 to verify your specific plan before your visit.
Can my building or hotel concierge coordinate a visit for me?
Yes. We keep a direct call-list with concierge teams at the St. Regis Bal Harbour and several Bal Harbour residential buildings. Your concierge can arrange a walk-in urgent care visit, set up a mobile IV at the residence or hotel suite, book a telehealth consult, or schedule an HBOT session. We can also coordinate directly with a private assistant.
Do you offer discreet, private care for executives and public figures?
Yes. Bal Harbour draws a high concentration of professionals and public figures, and private check-in is available on request. Mention it at the door or call ahead. Our intake, our physician-led evaluation model, and our Joint Commission-audited medical records all support confidential care. For patients who prefer not to be in the waiting room at all, we offer mobile IV, telehealth, and concierge memberships with in-home visits.
Is TrufaMED a good alternative to a hospital emergency room?
For most non-emergency complaints, yes, and faster. A typical ER visit in the area runs two to five hours; a typical TrufaMED visit runs 20 to 45 minutes. We have on-site digital X-ray, a CLIA-certified lab, and physician-led evaluation under one roof. For true emergencies such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe trauma, or altered mental status, the ER remains the right choice, and you should call 911.
Do you treat children from Bal Harbour and Bay Harbor Islands?
Yes. We see children aged three months and up daily for fever, ear pain, rashes, strep, sports injuries, and routine care. Our pediatric urgent care is a full walk-in option for families at Ruth K. Broad K-8, Bay Harbor Day School, and other nearby schools. For infants under three months, we stabilize and coordinate transfer to a pediatric emergency room when needed.
Do you offer mobile IV or in-home visits in Bal Harbour?
Yes. Our Bal Harbour mobile IV service brings physician-supervised IV therapy to residences, hotel suites, and offices, usually same-day. Concierge members receive expanded home-visit capability, including in-home urgent care, prescription management, and telehealth on demand.
What hours are you open, including weekends?
Monday to Friday 9 AM to 9 PM, Saturday 11 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday 12 PM to 8 PM. The extended Saturday hours are deliberate: weekends are when beach and restaurant activity peaks and when hospital ERs are busiest. Same-day care on a Saturday evening is almost always faster at TrufaMED than at the nearest ER.
