Best uses

Is telehealth right for you?

Telehealth is ideal for follow-up, medication management, and concerns that do not need a physical exam, imaging, or procedure. Our physicians will tell you honestly if an in-person visit is the better call.

Prescription refills

Routine, non-controlled medications: blood pressure, cholesterol, allergy, thyroid, asthma inhalers, birth control, and chronic-condition maintenance.

Results review

Review lab work, imaging findings, or genetic-screening results with a physician. Ask questions, plan next steps, and request referrals.

Minor acute issues

Sinus symptoms, mild upper-respiratory infections, pink eye, minor rashes, uncomplicated urinary symptoms, seasonal allergies, and cold sores.

Specialist coordination

Second-opinion review, referral letters, pre-procedure clearance, and coordinating in-person labs or imaging before your next step.

The flow

Four steps from booking to plan

Most visits finish in ten to thirty minutes.

1

Book online

Choose a time through JaneApp. Same-day slots are usually available during clinic hours.

2

Complete intake

A brief history, reason for visit, medication list, and pharmacy of record. Two to three minutes on mobile.

3

Video visit

Secure, HIPAA-compliant video with a board-certified physician. Ten to thirty minutes is typical.

4

Plan and prescription

A prescription sent to your pharmacy when appropriate, plus a written visit summary and any referral or in-person follow-up.

Transparent self-pay

One flat fee, disclosed before you book

Telehealth is a self-pay service, not billed to commercial insurance. It is HSA and FSA eligible with a physician letter when medically indicated.

Honest guardrails

What telehealth cannot replace

We will not stretch a video visit past what good medicine allows. If either of these fits your situation, please get seen in person or call 911.

Call 911 or go to the ER

Do not book telehealth for a suspected heart attack, stroke symptoms (face droop, arm weakness, speech difficulty), severe trauma, difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, severe chest pain, or a suspected overdose. These are emergencies.

Come into the clinic

Telehealth cannot perform a physical exam, give injections, draw blood, take X-rays or ultrasound, treat wounds, or work up a high fever or severe pain. If the physician decides an in-person visit is required, they will help coordinate a same-day walk-in at our Surfside clinic.

Why it matters

Physician-led, not a chatbot

Most virtual-care platforms route patients to non-physician providers or algorithmic triage. Every TrufaMED telehealth visit is conducted by a board-certified MD, the same physicians you would see in our Surfside clinic.

Board-certified MDs only

Every visit is staffed by Dr. Gedalia or Dr. Naidoo, not mid-levels and not contracted call-center physicians.

Same-day availability

Slots open daily during clinic hours. Book online and connect within hours, not days.

Joint Commission accredited

The same clinical standards behind Florida’s only accredited urgent care apply to every telehealth encounter.

$125 flat rate

One price, disclosed before booking. Self-pay, HSA/FSA eligible, with no hidden facility fees.

Who you will see

A physician sees you personally

There is no script, no protocol tree, and no “one of our providers” ambiguity. You get the same physician oversight, delivered digitally.

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

Dr. Gedalia sees telehealth patients for results review, post-operative follow-up, medication management, and second-opinion consults, applying the same clinical standards he uses in the exam room.

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

Dr. Naidoo leads telehealth for acute concerns such as minor respiratory infections, pink eye, UTI work-ups, and prescription refills, with a clear threshold for when in-person care is required.

Service area

Telehealth across Miami and South Florida

Our physicians are Florida-licensed and see patients located anywhere in the state. Below are the communities our telehealth patients most often come from.

Miami Beach

South Beach, Mid-Beach, and North Beach residents book telehealth for refills, post-procedure check-ins, and minor illness when commuting to Surfside is inconvenient.

Bal Harbour & Bay Harbor

Minutes from our clinic by car, but telehealth is the preferred option for routine refills, results review, and follow-ups that do not need an exam.

Sunny Isles & Aventura

High-rise residents and professionals use telehealth for medication management, lab results review, and minor acute concerns, with in-clinic follow-up when needed.

Surfside & North Miami Beach

Surfside-area patients who want physician access outside a walk-in visit can connect from home, with seamless continuity to the clinic.

Brickell & Downtown

Urban Miami patients use virtual care for time-sensitive, non-emergent concerns during the workday, with a board-certified MD rather than a triage tool.

Visitors & seasonal residents

Tourists, snowbirds, and business travelers physically located in Florida can use TrufaMED telehealth. A sinus infection or refill does not have to interrupt your trip.

All telehealth patients must be physically located in Florida at the time of the visit. Our physicians hold active Florida licensure.

Telehealth, answered

The questions patients ask most before booking a virtual visit.

Can telehealth prescribe controlled substances?

No. Florida and federal rules restrict the prescribing of controlled substances (Schedule II to V, including opioids, ADHD stimulants, and benzodiazepines) by telehealth without an in-person evaluation. If you need a controlled-substance medication, we will ask you to come into the clinic.

Is telehealth covered by my insurance?

TrufaMED telehealth is a self-pay service; we do not bill commercial insurance for virtual visits. The flat fee is $125, disclosed before you book. Your visit may be reimbursable through your HSA or FSA, and we provide an itemized receipt and, when medically indicated, a physician letter of medical necessity.

Do you serve patients outside Florida?

Our physicians hold active Florida licensure and can see any patient physically located in Florida at the time of the visit. If you live out of state but will be in Florida, telehealth is available while you are here. For patients located in other states at the time of the visit, we will tell you honestly whether our physicians hold the required licensure.

What if I need labs or imaging?

The physician will order labs or imaging at the end of your visit. You can complete the draw at our Surfside clinic or a partner lab, and we will review the results with you in a follow-up telehealth call. If your concern needs an exam, X-ray, or procedure, the physician will help you book a same-day walk-in.

How long is a typical visit?

Most visits finish in 10 to 20 minutes. Complex results review or new-patient consults may run 25 to 30 minutes. Your slot reserves up to 30 minutes, so there is no rush.

Do I need to download an app?

No. The platform runs on JaneApp, a HIPAA-compliant system with end-to-end encrypted video. A secure link arrives by email before your appointment and opens in any modern browser, Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox. A phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and microphone is all you need.

What about HIPAA and privacy?

JaneApp is a HIPAA-compliant platform and all traffic is end-to-end encrypted. Sessions are not recorded. Charting, messaging, and payment are handled inside the same secured portal used for your in-person care, so there is genuine continuity between your virtual and in-clinic visits.

What if the physician needs to escalate to in-person care?

If the physician determines your issue requires an in-person exam, imaging, or emergency care, they will tell you during the visit, help you book a same-day walk-in at our Surfside clinic, or direct you to the appropriate emergency resource. There is no separate telehealth charge for that referral decision.

Is telehealth available to Miami Beach and Bal Harbour residents?

Yes. TrufaMED telehealth is available to any patient physically located in Florida at the time of the visit. Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura, and Brickell residents use it regularly for prescription refills and minor acute concerns. If your issue requires in-person care, our Surfside clinic is 10 to 20 minutes from most of these neighborhoods.
