When your child gets sick or injured, you want fast, reliable medical care from a team you can trust. TrufaMED Urgent Care in Surfside, FL, provides pediatric urgent care for children of all ages — from infants and toddlers to teens. Our walk-in clinic near Miami Beach treats common childhood illnesses and minor injuries without the long wait times of an emergency room.
As Florida’s only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care and one of just eight nationwide, TrufaMED delivers the same level of clinical quality and patient safety you would expect from a top hospital — in a convenient, family-friendly setting.
Common Pediatric Conditions We Treat
Children face a wide range of health issues, and most do not require an emergency room visit. At TrufaMED, our physicians treat pediatric patients for ear infections, sore throats, and strep throat. We also handle fevers, coughs, colds, and flu symptoms. Stomach bugs, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are among the most frequent reasons parents bring their children to us.
We treat skin conditions such as rashes, minor burns, insect bites, and allergic reactions. Our team also manages minor injuries including sprains, strains, minor fractures, cuts, and scrapes that need stitches or wound care.
If your child’s condition requires a higher level of care, our physicians will coordinate a referral and help you get to the right specialist quickly.
When to Choose Urgent Care Over the ER
Knowing when to visit urgent care versus the emergency room can save you hours of waiting and thousands of dollars. Choose urgent care for non-life-threatening situations such as mild to moderate fevers, ear pain, minor injuries, skin infections, and seasonal illnesses.
Head to the emergency room for severe breathing difficulties, high fevers in infants under three months, broken bones with visible deformity, head injuries with loss of consciousness, or signs of a serious allergic reaction like facial swelling or difficulty breathing.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends urgent care as an appropriate option for many common childhood conditions when your pediatrician is unavailable.
Pediatric Services at TrufaMED
Our pediatric urgent care services go beyond treating illness and injury. TrufaMED offers sports physicals required for school athletics and recreational leagues throughout Miami-Dade County. We provide same-day results so your child does not miss any games or practices.
We also perform wellness checkups and school physicals, including vision and hearing screenings. Our on-site lab can run rapid strep tests, flu tests, COVID tests, and basic blood work — giving you answers during the same visit rather than waiting days for results.
For children recovering from illness or dehydration, we offer IV hydration therapy to restore fluids and electrolytes faster than drinking liquids alone.
What Parents Should Know Before Visiting
No appointment is necessary at TrufaMED. Simply walk in during our regular hours. Bring your child’s insurance card, a photo ID for the parent or guardian, and a list of any medications your child currently takes.
If your child has an existing medical condition or takes prescription medication, let our front desk team know when you arrive. This helps our physician provide the safest and most effective treatment.
Most pediatric urgent care visits at TrufaMED take less than an hour from check-in to discharge, depending on the complexity of the condition.

We understand that visiting a doctor can feel scary for young patients. Our Surfside clinic maintains a clean, welcoming environment designed to put families at ease. Our physicians and staff are experienced in working with children and take time to explain treatments in an age-appropriate way.
TrufaMED’s Joint Commission accreditation means we follow strict protocols for infection control, medication safety, and clinical best practices — giving parents extra peace of mind.
