Boutique walk-in urgent care minutes from Brickell Mall, Turnberry, and Biscayne Landing. Board-certified physician every visit, on-site digital X-ray, labs, and IV therapy — a concierge alternative to Brickell Hospital’s ER for non-life-threatening issues.
Joint Commission accredited. Physician on shift every day. Most insurance accepted.
TrufaMED is a boutique physician-led urgent care roughly fourteen minutes south of Brickell on Collins Avenue or via I-95 plus the 826 causeway. Walk-in, seven days a week, with on-site X-ray, labs, ultrasound, and IV therapy — a measured alternative to an ER visit for non-emergency illness or injury.
Featured Answer
Brickell residents, Brickell Mall shoppers, and Biscayne Landing office tenants drive down Collins or hop on I-95 to reach TrufaMED at 9445 Harding Avenue in Surfside. A full urgent care visit — board-certified physician evaluation, imaging or labs if needed, medication in hand — typically takes twenty to forty-five minutes. Most commercial insurance plans are accepted.
TrufaMED sits at 9445 Harding Avenue in Surfside — a straight fourteen-minute drive from most of Brickell. For residents of Turnberry Isle, Porto Vita, Williams Island, Biscayne Landing, and the Brickell Mall corridor, we are often a faster same-day option than waiting for a primary-care slot or sitting in an emergency department for a non-emergency issue.
Two routes work well. Collins Avenue south is the scenic beach route — Collins becomes Harding Avenue as you cross into Surfside, and we are on the east side at 94th Street. Typical drive time is fourteen to eighteen minutes depending on Miami Beach season traffic. I-95 south to the 826 causeway, then Biscayne Boulevard (US-1) south to 96th Street east is the alternate if Collins is backed up. Parking is available at our building and on neighboring streets.
Our Brickell-area patient mix runs the full spectrum. Tower-residence condo owners on Country Club Drive and Williams Island who want a physician-level visit without navigating Brickell Hospital. Executives and professionals working at Brickell Corporate Center or Biscayne Landing who need a same-day sports-injury or illness evaluation before flying out. Brickell Mall shoppers, tourists, and snowbirds staying at local short-term rentals who get sick on a trip. Parents who need a pediatric urgent-care visit with a board-certified physician rather than a retail clinic.
An emergency department is the correct choice for chest pain, signs of stroke, major trauma, severe allergic reaction, uncontrolled bleeding, or altered mental status. For everything else — the sprains, the stitches, the sore throats, the sinus infections, the UTIs, the sports-physical paperwork, the flu, the pediatric fever that needs a same-day look — a good urgent care is faster, quieter, and far less expensive. Our physicians triage at the door and escalate to ER when the findings warrant it.

Most Brickell patients are in and out in twenty to forty-five minutes. The visit is deliberately structured — no assembly-line throughput, no bouncing between rooms, no waiting for a physician who is three patients behind.
For patients accustomed to a concierge standard, the feel is closer to a boutique medical practice than to a traditional urgent care. The waiting room is quiet. Rooms are private. The physician sits down. Nothing is rushed — but nothing takes longer than it should. Our goal is the shortest door-to-diagnosis time that a real medical exam allows.
There is no shortage of urgent-care signage in North Miami-Dade. There is a shortage of urgent care where a physician actually evaluates you, where imaging and labs are read the same visit, and where the experience is quiet and measured rather than harried.

Urgent care handles most non-life-threatening illness and injury. A handful of symptoms belong at an ER — Brickell Hospital or the nearest emergency department on Collins — because the workup required is beyond any urgent care’s scope.

When the picture is unclear, start with us. We triage at the door, escalate to the ER when the exam warrants it, and stabilize in the meantime. The cost of a same-day physician evaluation is small compared to the risk of driving past a real emergency.
