Community Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Milwaukee

When setting up the practice, I wanted to ensure that every patient felt cared for and every family member was supported. I wanted patients to come in and feel safe, welcome and heard.

On January 10th, 2022, Community Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery opened its doors for the first time to patients. The practice, which is located in the historic Walker’s Point neighborhood of Milwaukee, is deeply committed to its missions of service, innovation, and workplace empowerment.

The practice is woman-owned, minority-owned, and speaks three languages: English, Spanish, and Arabic. It was built with inclusion in mind; the clinic is equipped with ADA-compliant restrooms, entrances and exits, and spacious treatment rooms to accommodate any accessibility needs. The restroom is all gender, and the clinic is working to ensure that the space is mom/child friendly.

“When setting up the practice, I wanted to ensure that every patient felt cared for and every family member was supported. I wanted patients to come in and feel safe, welcome and heard. I think that we were able to achieve that. We have a tremendous team with many years of experience who share the missions of the practice and who are here for our patients,” says Dr. Ruba Khader, the owner, and solo surgeon in this practice.

The practice chose to defer any grand opening ceremonies for the time being out of caution at a time when the city and the state have been hit hard with COVID-19 infections. This has not stopped the practice from continuing on with its innovative mission, however. On January 25th, 2022, Yomi, the only FDA-approved dental implant robotic arm in North America and the first of its kind in Wisconsin, was installed in the clinic. Yomi offers cutting-edge technology and unparalleled accuracy in dental implant treatment. The clinic is outfitted with state-of-the-art technologies that allow for improved patient communication and improved outcomes. The practice has also recently launched a slick, beautiful, and user-friendly website.

As Ruba Khader, BDS, the founder and lead oral and maxillofacial surgeon, explains, “I am very excited for the launch of the website! The mobile app is brilliant; you will have fun clicking the various buttons to see what lies within. Patients will have access to so much information including information about their upcoming procedures, postoperative care instructions, the technology available to them at the clinic, and how to refer a friend. For me, this website and the mobile app are truly a continuation of the clinic – they are part of our team. We cannot wait for you to see it!”

With all of this exciting news, the oral health of the residents in and around the Milwaukee, WI area has a bright future ahead.
