Why Choose TrufaMED
for IV Therapy

Physician-supervised IV therapy inside a Joint Commission-accredited medical clinic, not a pop-up tent or a nurse in a hotel hallway. Walk into our Surfside lounge, or have a licensed provider come to you.

The short answer

Not all IV therapy is the same

Miami is full of mobile IV companies run by nurses working out of vans, and IV bars set up inside spas and lounges. TrufaMED is built differently. It is a fully licensed, Joint Commission-accredited urgent care with board-certified physicians on shift, a CLIA-certified lab, digital X-ray, and emergency equipment on site, and it still delivers the same drips to your home or hotel. You get the comfort of a lounge with the safety of a real clinic behind every infusion. See the full IV therapy menu and pricing.

The TrufaMED difference

Six things a real clinic gives you that an IV bar cannot

An IV is a medical procedure. Where it is given, who orders it, and what stands behind it all change how safe it is.

A physician leads every shift

A board-certified physician is on site and approves every drip before the line is started, reviewing your medications, history, and symptoms. This catches interactions and dosing problems a standing-order model misses. You are not handed off to a nurse working alone.

On-site CLIA-certified lab

We can run a metabolic panel, complete blood count, and electrolytes before your drip and recheck them after. Dehydration is about sodium and potassium balance, not just fluid volume, so we treat with evidence instead of guessing. Mobile-only services have no way to test anything.

Ready for a reaction

Reactions are uncommon but real. On site we have a crash cart, epinephrine, oxygen, cardiac monitoring, and a physician to respond at once. A nurse in your hotel room has limited options beyond calling 911. That readiness is the whole point of an accredited facility.

Joint Commission accredited

The same standard that accredits hospitals, covering infection control, medication safety, and emergency preparedness, verified by regular inspection. TrufaMED is Florida’s only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care and one of only about eight nationwide.

X-ray and urgent care, steps away

If your symptoms turn out to be more than dehydration, you are already inside a clinic with digital X-ray, point-of-care ultrasound, and an urgent care team. We can escalate your care on the spot instead of sending you elsewhere.

In-clinic or mobile, same quality

Visit our Surfside lounge for the full experience, or book mobile delivery to your home, hotel, yacht, or office. The pharmaceutical-grade formulas and the physician oversight are identical. Only the setting changes.

Why it matters

What physician oversight and an on-site lab actually change

When a physician supervises your IV, they assess your full medical picture before any fluid enters your bloodstream. That means reviewing your current medications for interactions, checking your cardiac and kidney function, and setting the drip rate for your health status. Patients with heart conditions, kidney disease, or electrolyte imbalances need careful fluid management that a standing protocol cannot account for.

Mobile-only services typically run on registered nurses following pre-set orders. Nurses are skilled at placing a line, but they cannot diagnose, order labs, prescribe, or independently manage a serious reaction. If an allergic reaction, an arrhythmia, or fluid overload happens during an infusion, a nurse in a hotel room has limited options beyond calling 911.

The on-site lab changes the treatment, not just the paperwork

Our CLIA-certified lab can run a complete metabolic panel, complete blood count, and electrolyte levels before your IV begins. This matters because dehydration is not only about fluid volume; it is about sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. Infusing plain saline into a patient with low sodium, without knowing their baseline, can actually make the problem worse. After your IV, we can recheck your labs to confirm the treatment achieved what it was meant to. That evidence-based approach is simply not possible with a service that has no diagnostic capability.

Accreditation is a standard, not a slogan

The Joint Commission is the same body that accredits hospitals and surgical centers. Earning it requires compliance with hundreds of safety standards for infection control, medication management, patient rights, and emergency preparedness, confirmed through regular inspections. Most IV companies operate under a nursing-agency license or a mobile-health registration, which carry far fewer requirements. Choosing TrufaMED means choosing hospital-grade safety standards for something that is, after all, a medical procedure. Learn how IV hydration works.

Your physicians

The doctors behind every drip

An IV bar does not have these names on the chart. At TrufaMED, two board-certified physicians set the protocols and oversee the program.

Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Uri Gedalia, MD, FACS
Board-Certified General Surgeon

Dr. Gedalia built TrufaMED around physician-led protocols, Joint Commission accreditation, and a standard of care usually reserved for hospital systems. He oversees the IV therapy program and personally approves formulary changes.

Medical Director
Dr. Shane D. Naidoo, MD
Board-Certified Emergency Medicine

Dr. Naidoo directs clinical operations, supervises nursing staff, and reviews complex IV cases including iron infusions and NAD+. His emergency background brings calm, decisive judgment to every order.

Choosing an IV provider, answered

What patients across Miami ask when they are deciding where to get an IV.

What makes TrufaMED different from a mobile-only IV company?

TrufaMED is a fully licensed, Joint Commission-accredited urgent care with on-site physicians, a CLIA-certified lab, digital X-ray, and emergency equipment. A board-certified physician leads every shift and approves every drip before the line is started. Mobile-only companies are typically nurse-run operations with no lab, no imaging, no physician on site, and limited options if something goes wrong. TrufaMED gives you that full medical foundation in the clinic, and still delivers the same drips to your home or hotel.

Why does physician supervision matter for an IV?

An IV is a medical procedure. Before any fluid enters your bloodstream, a physician can review your medications for interactions, check your cardiac and kidney function, and set the drip rate for your health status. Patients with heart conditions, kidney disease, or electrolyte imbalances need careful fluid management. A nurse following a standing order cannot diagnose, order labs, or prescribe, and has limited options for a serious reaction. At TrufaMED a board-certified physician reviews every order.

What does the on-site lab actually add?

Our CLIA-certified lab can run a complete metabolic panel, complete blood count, and electrolyte levels before your drip and recheck them after. That matters because dehydration is not only about fluid volume; it is about sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate balance. Infusing saline into someone with low sodium, without knowing their baseline, can make things worse. Lab testing lets us treat with evidence instead of guessing. Mobile-only services have no way to test anything.

What happens if I have a reaction during my IV?

Reactions to IV ingredients are uncommon but possible. At TrufaMED there is a crash cart, epinephrine, oxygen, cardiac monitoring, and a board-certified physician on site to respond immediately. In a hotel room, a mobile nurse has limited options beyond calling 911. This readiness is one of the clearest reasons to choose an accredited medical facility for your infusion.

What does Joint Commission accreditation mean for me?

The Joint Commission is the same body that accredits hospitals and surgical centers. Earning it requires meeting hundreds of safety standards for infection control, medication management, patient rights, and emergency preparedness, verified by regular inspections. TrufaMED is Florida’s only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care and one of only about eight nationwide. For your IV, it means hospital-grade safety standards rather than a basic nursing or mobile-health registration.

Are the ingredients pharmaceutical-grade?

Yes. Every drip is a physician-approved formula mixed from USP-grade vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fluids, using sterile technique. You are getting the same quality of compounds whether you visit our Surfside lounge or book mobile delivery. The formulation does not change; only the setting does.

Can I still get IV therapy delivered to me?

Yes. TrufaMED offers both. Visit our IV lounge in Surfside, or book mobile delivery to your home, hotel, condo, yacht, or office across Miami Beach, Surfside, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura, and surrounding areas. Mobile orders are reviewed and approved by a physician before a licensed provider is dispatched, the same oversight as an in-clinic visit. A mobile fee applies based on how quickly you need the team.

Does insurance cover IV therapy at TrufaMED?

Wellness drips are self-pay, and we accept all major cards, HSA and FSA, and Apple Pay. Where mobile-only companies are strictly cash-pay, TrufaMED is a medical clinic, so if your IV is part of a medically necessary visit, such as treatment for severe dehydration, food poisoning, or migraine, your insurance may cover the visit and related services. Our front desk can verify your benefits before treatment.

How long does an IV session take, and do I need an appointment?

Most wellness drips take 30 to 45 minutes to infuse; NAD+ runs two to four hours because a faster rate causes discomfort. Walk-ins are welcome at our Surfside clinic seven days a week, and same-day appointments are typical. For mobile delivery, book online or call ahead so we can dispatch a licensed provider to your location quickly.

Why might a TrufaMED IV cost more than a bargain mobile service?

The price reflects what is behind the drip: physician review of every order, a CLIA-certified lab, Joint Commission safety standards, emergency equipment on standby, and the ability to escalate to urgent care if needed. Lower-cost services keep prices down by removing physician oversight and operating without a medical facility. That saving comes out of your safety margin, not the bag of fluid.
