Walk-in sick visits and injury treatment for children and adolescents at TrufaMED Urgent Care in Surfside, FL — because kids can't always wait for their pediatrician.
When your child is sick or injured and their pediatrician is unavailable, TrufaMED provides expert urgent care for children and adolescents. From fevers and ear infections to sprains and minor lacerations, our providers treat the conditions kids encounter most.
We understand that bringing a sick child to a medical facility can be stressful for both parent and child. Our team creates a calm, welcoming environment and explains each step of the evaluation and treatment process. We communicate with parents throughout the visit and coordinate follow-up with your child's pediatrician.
Common pediatric visits include ear infections, strep throat, fevers, flu-like illness, coughs and colds, pink eye, rashes, minor cuts requiring stitches, sprains from sports or play, and school or sports physicals.
Rapid evaluation and treatment for fevers, ear infections, strep throat, urinary tract infections, and other common childhood illnesses with age-appropriate medications.
Assessment and treatment for coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup, and asthma exacerbations. We provide breathing treatments when needed and monitor your child's response.
On-site digital X-ray for suspected fractures, plus splinting, wound care, and laceration repair for playground falls, sports injuries, and childhood accidents.
On-site rapid strep, flu, COVID, and RSV testing with results in minutes so treatment can begin immediately. CLIA-certified lab for any additional testing needed.
Required physical examinations for school enrollment, sports participation, and camp attendance. We complete required forms and provide clearance documentation during your visit.
We send detailed visit notes and findings to your child's pediatrician so their primary care provider stays informed about any acute treatment provided during the urgent care visit.
Emergency rooms mean long waits, high costs, and exposure to more serious illnesses — none of which are ideal when your child has an ear infection or a mild fever. TrufaMED provides the same quality pediatric evaluation in a fraction of the time and at a significantly lower cost than an ER visit.
Our providers are experienced in treating children of all ages and skilled at making pediatric patients feel comfortable. We stock age-appropriate medications and have the diagnostic tools needed to evaluate common childhood conditions quickly and accurately.
Whether it is a Saturday morning ear infection, a sports injury during practice, or a school-required physical before the deadline, TrufaMED is here for your family. Walk in during our operating hours or book online — we will take excellent care of your child.

Children experience a wide range of illnesses and injuries that require prompt medical attention. At TrufaMED Urgent Care in Surfside, our board-certified physicians treat the full spectrum of pediatric urgent care conditions, providing expert evaluation and treatment for children and adolescents when their primary pediatrician is unavailable.
Upper respiratory infections, including the common cold, croup, and bronchiolitis, are among the most frequent reasons parents bring children to our clinic. Our providers assess the severity of respiratory symptoms, check oxygen levels, and determine whether the infection is viral or bacterial. When antibiotics are appropriate, we prescribe child-friendly formulations and provide clear dosing instructions tailored to your child's weight and age.
Ear infections are another leading cause of pediatric urgent care visits. Children are more susceptible to ear infections than adults because their Eustachian tubes are shorter and more horizontal, making drainage more difficult. Our physicians use otoscopic examination to visualize the eardrum and determine whether the infection requires antibiotic treatment or can be managed with watchful waiting and pain relief.
Gastrointestinal illness including stomach flu, vomiting, and diarrhea can lead to rapid dehydration in young children. We assess your child's hydration status and provide oral or IV rehydration as needed. Febrile illness, skin rashes, allergic reactions, and urinary tract infections round out the most common pediatric presentations at our facility.
Active children are prone to injuries, from playground falls and sports-related sprains to cuts that may require sutures. TrufaMED provides comprehensive pediatric injury care including wound cleaning and closure with stitches, skin adhesives, or butterfly strips depending on the laceration's location, depth, and size. We use age-appropriate pain management techniques to keep your child comfortable throughout the treatment process.
Sprains, strains, and suspected fractures are evaluated with our on-site digital X-ray system. Results are available within minutes, allowing our physicians to determine whether your child needs a splint, a referral to pediatric orthopedics, or simple rest and ice therapy. We also treat minor burns, foreign body removal from skin and ears, and fingertip injuries that are common in young children.
For head injuries, our providers follow established clinical decision rules to determine whether imaging is necessary. We evaluate for signs of concussion and provide parents with detailed head injury observation instructions, including specific symptoms that should prompt a return visit or emergency room evaluation.
TrufaMED offers comprehensive school physicals and sports physicals for children and adolescents. Florida requires a physical examination for participation in school athletics, and many private schools require annual health assessments for enrollment. Our providers complete the required forms during your visit, including the Florida High School Athletic Association pre-participation physical evaluation form.
During a sports physical, we evaluate your child's cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal function, vision, and overall fitness for athletic participation. We screen for conditions that could pose risks during physical activity and provide recommendations for any issues identified during the examination. Walk-in sports physicals are available during regular clinic hours with no appointment necessary.
Deciding whether your child needs urgent care or an emergency room visit can be stressful for parents. As a general guideline, urgent care is appropriate for illnesses and injuries that need same-day treatment but are not life-threatening. This includes fevers, ear pain, sore throat, minor cuts needing stitches, sprains, rashes, vomiting, and mild breathing difficulty.
Emergency room visits are necessary for severe breathing distress, high fevers in infants under three months, seizures, loss of consciousness, suspected broken bones with visible deformity, deep wounds with uncontrolled bleeding, allergic reactions with throat swelling, and ingestion of toxic substances. When in doubt, calling our clinic at (305) 537-6396 allows you to speak with a medical professional who can help guide your decision.
Choosing TrufaMED for non-emergent pediatric conditions typically results in shorter wait times, lower out-of-pocket costs, and a more focused evaluation compared to a hospital emergency department. Our providers communicate with your child's pediatrician to ensure continuity of care following the visit.
We understand that medical visits can be intimidating for children. Our team at TrufaMED takes a patient, reassuring approach with pediatric patients. We explain procedures in age-appropriate language, involve parents in every step of the evaluation, and use gentle techniques to minimize discomfort during examinations and treatments.
