TrufaMED at 9445 Harding Avenue in Surfside is the closest physician-staffed urgent care to Sunny Isles Beach — a ten-minute drive south on Collins Avenue or Harding Avenue. Walk in seven days a week with no appointment. Every visit is led by a board-certified physician, not a non-physician provider.
Featured Answer
Sunny Isles residents, hotel guests, and residence owners drive ten minutes to TrufaMED in Surfside because a licensed physician is on shift every hour we are open. On-site digital X-ray, full lab draw capability, ultrasound, and in-clinic IV therapy finish most visits in a single appointment — without a trip to an emergency department, and without waiting for outside labs to resolve.
Sunny Isles Beach is a vertical city of luxury high-rises, global residents, and tourists who expect private-practice quality without the booking friction. TrufaMED is built for exactly that demographic — a boutique clinic where a physician examines you, not a medical assistant, and every ancillary service is already inside the building.
Residents of the Acqualina Resort, the Trump Towers trio, Porsche Design Tower, Armani Residences, Mansions at Acqualina, Jade Beach, Jade Ocean, Muse, Chateau Beach, and Estates at Acqualina expect the kind of medical experience they are accustomed to at home — quiet waiting rooms, senior physicians, no assembly-line check-in, and no surprise billing. TrufaMED was designed around that standard. The waiting area rarely holds more than a handful of patients. Intake is handled quickly and privately. A physician examines every patient. When follow-up care is needed, our team coordinates directly with your primary physician, your concierge desk, or your family office.
Our clinical team speaks English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Italian, French, and Creole. That coverage matches the Sunny Isles population, which is heavily Russian, Latin American, Israeli, and European. Medical information is translated accurately — not through a phone-line interpreter, but by a staff member who speaks with you directly. This matters when a patient is stressed, when symptoms are complex, or when a family member needs to explain history.
Privacy is not an amenity; it is a condition of care for our patient population. Records are not shared without explicit consent. Insurance information is kept separate from billing conversations when patients prefer self-pay. No posts, no photos, no disclosed patient names to anyone — including staff at the luxury properties we serve. If you prefer that we never contact you by phone, we never do. If you prefer an after-hours follow-up by secure message, we can do that. These preferences are documented on first visit and respected on every subsequent visit.
The combination of geography, clinical staffing, and diagnostic capability is why Sunny Isles patients drive to us rather than attempt to navigate a broader Miami urgent care network. Ten minutes south on A1A or Collins Avenue, including rush hour, is meaningfully faster than the round-trip to a hospital-affiliated urgent care in Aventura, and enormously faster than an emergency department visit for a non-emergency complaint.
Sunny Isles At-a-Glance
Buildings We Serve Daily
A physician examines, diagnoses, and treats the great majority of conditions on this list in a single walk-in appointment — including the bloodwork, imaging, or IV therapy the treatment requires.
For chronic conditions or ongoing management, see our Sunny Isles concierge membership. For elective IV therapy unrelated to illness — hangover recovery, immune support, post-flight hydration — see Sunny Isles IV therapy.
Sunny Isles is a gateway for international residents and visitors. The combination of long-haul flights, climate change, and a busy first 48 hours in town creates predictable medical needs — ones our physicians see every day.
Ten to fourteen hours in a pressurized cabin leaves most travelers clinically dehydrated. A physician-supervised IV with Lactated Ringers or normal saline resolves headache, fatigue, and dry mucous membranes in about an hour.
Early heat exhaustion — nausea, headache, muscle cramps — is common in guests who come from colder climates. Active cooling, IV fluids, and electrolyte monitoring prevent progression to heat stroke, which is an ER-level emergency.
A change in diet, water, and time zone lands travelers in our clinic with vomiting, diarrhea, and cramping. Ondansetron, targeted IV fluids, and a focused exam distinguish self-limited gastroenteritis from something that needs escalation.
Lost, forgotten, or expired prescriptions are a common reason for a same-day visit. Our physicians verify, examine, and bridge-prescribe when appropriate — including controlled substances within standard refill rules.
New environment, new allergens. Everything from tree-pollen sinus misery to a jellyfish sting can be handled same visit. Epinephrine, IV steroids, and antihistamines for moderate reactions; ER transfer for anaphylaxis.
Our team is experienced working alongside the concierge teams at Acqualina, Trump Towers, Porsche Design, Armani, and the major Sunny Isles residences. If your concierge calls for you, we reserve your slot and streamline intake.

If the clinical picture on arrival already points to an emergency — chest pain with concerning features, severe headache with neurologic change, suspected stroke or cardiac event — we stabilize and transfer directly to Mount Sinai or Aventura Hospital. This is infrequent. The great majority of urgent care visits are resolved in the clinic.
Every TrufaMED visit is led by a board-certified physician. This is not a standard the urgent care industry promises. It is the reason Sunny Isles patients come to us rather than the closer walk-in storefronts.
Dr. Gedalia is a board-certified General Surgeon. He designed the clinical protocols, the diagnostic workflow, and the staffing model. He continues to practice clinically on-site. Learn more on his physician bio page.
Dr. Naidoo is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician. He runs the clinical floor day to day, supervises the medical staff, and handles the highest-acuity cases that walk in from Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour, and Miami Beach. His bio is on our physicians page.
An urgent care is legally allowed to operate with a non-physician provider leading every patient visit. Many chains do exactly that, calling it “provider staffing.” The clinical judgment behind a decision — whether a chest complaint is musculoskeletal or cardiac, whether an abdominal pain is surgical, whether a headache warrants imaging — is where years of physician training matter most. TrufaMED’s model eliminates that risk.
Joint Commission accreditation is earned by passing the same audit standards that accredit hospitals — sterile technique, medication safety, infection control, credentialing, clinical documentation, and continuous improvement. Florida has one Joint Commission-accredited urgent care; we are it. We are also one of eight accredited urgent cares nationwide. For residents of Sunny Isles luxury towers who are accustomed to hospital-grade standards, this is the shortest explanation of the difference.

Most problems are urgent-care level. Some are not. The findings below are reasons to bypass us and go directly to Mount Sinai, Aventura Hospital, or call 911.

If you are unsure, walk in. We triage on arrival. If the findings warrant the ER, we stabilize and arrange transfer. The cost of a same-day physician evaluation is worth it when the alternative is missing a surgical abdomen or a cardiac event.
