MD Hyperbaric is excited to announce the future opening of our clinic at 3077 N. Mayfair Road, Suite #120, Wauwatosa, WI 53222. Conveniently located near Milwaukee, Brookfield, Elm Grove, and surrounding communities, our state-of-the-art center will soon be the go-to destination for medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in Southeast Wisconsin.
At MD Hyperbaric Wauwatosa, we deliver more than just oxygen therapy—we provide safe, personalized, physician-directed treatment protocols to optimize your recovery and healing outcomes. Our science-based approach helps patients recover faster, heal more completely, manage chronic pain, fatigue and inflammation, boost cognitive and athletic performance, and improve long-term wellness outcomes using FDA-approved medical-grade hard-shell chambers. This approach dramatically helps you achieve more effective results not seen with traditional treatments and therapies offered in wellness clinics, physical therapy clinics, and med spas.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven medical treatment that uses 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized environment to accelerate the body’s natural healing abilities. When you step into one of our FDA-cleared Fortius 420 hard-shell chambers at MD Hyperbaric Wauwatosa, your body is immersed in oxygen levels far beyond what’s possible at normal air pressure. This oxygen-rich environment helps:
Speed up surgical recovery after orthopedic or plastic surgery
Reduce swelling and inflammation for chronic conditions and pain management
Boost brain and nerve healing for concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Accelerate athletic and musculoskeletal (MSK) recovery, helping local athletes return to peak performance
Support wound care and long-term wellness with enhanced tissue repair and circulation
Unlike soft-shell chambers often found in spas or wellness centers, our medical-grade hyperbaric chambers in Wauwatosa deliver the precise therapeutic oxygen levels required for safe and effective results. Every treatment is carefully monitored by our certified Hyperbaric Medical Directors and supported by a dedicated Safety Director, ensuring the highest standard of patient care. Whether you live in Wauwatosa, Milwaukee, Brookfield, or Elm Grove, HBOT at MD Hyperbaric offers a trusted, science-backed solution for healing, recovery, and long-term health.
At our new Wauwatosa hyperbaric oxygen center, HBOT will support healing and recovery for a wide range of conditions, including:
Post-Surgical & Plastic Surgery Recovery – Reduce swelling, minimize complications, and speed up healing following orthopedic surgeries, plastic surgery, and wound repairs.
Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussion Treatments – Restore brain function, reduce inflammation, and improve cognitive clarity after concussions or TBIs.
Chronic Conditions & Inflammation – Manage persistent pain, autoimmune flare-ups, and long-term inflammatory conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia.
Athletic Injury & Musculoskeletal Recovery – Accelerate healing for sprains, strains, ligament tears, and other sports-related injuries while optimizing athletic performance.
Wellness, Longevity & Performance – Support mental clarity, energy, and anti-aging goals through oxygen-driven cellular repair.
Your HBOT experience begins with a consultation with our Hyperbaric Medical Director to ensure you’re medically cleared to receive HBOT. We’ll review your medical history and create a personalized session plan tailored to you. Depending on your conditions and needs, protocols may range from 5–40+ sessions, each lasting 60–90 minutes. Many patients report:
Faster recovery after surgery or injury
Reduced inflammation and pain
Improved mental clarity and energy
Better long-term health outcomes
Our modern facility in Wauwatosa will feature comfortable treatment rooms, advanced monitoring technology, and a dedicated medical safety technician team to ensure a safe, effective, and relaxing experience.
While in the chamber, during pressurization and depressurization, you may feel pressure and temperature changes, similar to airplane travel. A trained technician will monitor you throughout the session and communicate via walkie-talkie.
Post-session, you’ll feel rejuvenated and ready to continue your day, with real potential benefits accumulating over a customized series of 10-40 treatments when done consistently multiple times per week.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven treatment that enhances healing by flooding the body with oxygen. Used for over 100 years, it supports brain health, anti-aging, athletic recovery, and medical conditions by boosting oxygen in blood, tissues, and organs. Patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, accelerating recovery and promoting cellular repair.
HBOT is FDA-approved for 14 conditions like burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing wounds. Emerging research also supports its use for post-surgical recovery, brain injury, fatigue, inflammation, athletic recovery, and anti-aging. Our medical team will assess if HBOT is right for you.
Yes, HBOT is safe when properly supervised. At MD Hyperbaric, treatments are protocol-driven, medically overseen, and administered by certified staff. Our Medical Director and onsite Safety Director ensure every session is carefully monitored, and we continuously update our protocols based on the latest research to prioritize patient safety.
Typically, most treatment sessions are approximately 60 minutes (some conditions may require up to 90 or 120 minutes). In addition to the actual treatment time, there is time required for the pressurization and depressurization of the chamber, which may add 20 minutes to the overall appointment. The exact duration will depend on your specific treatment plan and the pressure levels used, but you should plan for about 90 minutes for your visit.
The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated. Some patients may benefit from a few sessions, while others may require a more extended treatment plan. A typical protocol will involve 10-40 daily sessions to build up oxygen in the cells. Our Medical Director will recommend a specific treatment plan to address your goals and needs.
Prior to treatment, please try to avoid alcohol or carbonated drinks. It’s best to avoid smoking and any other tobacco products during your treatment period, as they may interfere with the body’s ability to transport oxygen. This can directly affect the time it takes you to heal, and under no circumstance can you smoke 2 hours before or after a session. Otherwise, there are no restrictions for food or activity before or after your treatment. We encourage you to have healthy meals and stay hydrated.
Most patients find HBOT sessions relaxing. You’ll rest comfortably in a 7½-foot-long steel chamber, breathing 100% pure oxygen through a mask. The oxygen has no smell or taste. During pressurization and depressurization, you may feel pressure changes, similar to airplane travel. A trained technician will monitor you throughout the session. You can sit or lie down inside the chamber, and afterward, you can resume normal activities, stay hydrated, and rest.
The term “dive” is used because the process simulates the experience of a deep-sea dive in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has deep roots in diving as it is an important therapy in treating divers that are experiencing “the bends”. In the context of hyperbaric, pressure is increased to levels greater than atmospheric pressure, similar to what divers experience underwater.
At MD Hyperbaric, we use the FDA-cleared OxyHealth Fortius420—a spacious, hard-shell chamber delivering 100% medical-grade oxygen via mask. Operating up to 3.0 ATA, it allows tailored pressures (typically 2.0–2.4 ATA) and supports air breaks for added benefits. With three windows and a 7½-foot length, it ensures comfort and meets the highest safety standards.
At MD Hyperbaric, we use hard-shell chambers that deliver 100% medical-grade oxygen at higher pressures for superior therapeutic benefits. In contrast, soft-shell chambers operate at lower pressures without medical-grade oxygen, making them less effective for medical treatment.
Our team will assess your medical history and specific circumstances through an intake process and initial evaluation with our certified staff and Medical Director will determine your eligibility for HBOT.
No referral is needed. Our Medical Director will review your intake forms and prescribe HBOT if appropriate. If you have a prescription from a provider, we’ll coordinate with them. For serious health conditions, we may recommend getting clearance from your physician.
HBOT is generally not covered by insurance, though most FSA/HSA plans allow reimbursement (check with your provider). MD Hyperbaric is an out-of-network provider, so patients pay out-of-pocket. If you have one of the 14 insurance-approved conditions, reimbursement may be possible. We can provide a superbill and receipt to help you submit a claim to your insurer.
This is an out-of-pocket treatment and we offer a variety of pricing options designed to suit the different medical and financial needs and preferences of our patients. For flexibility, patients can opt for the pay-as-you-go plan at a per session rate. We also have several package options that offer sessions at a reduced rate when purchased upfront. Please contact us to discuss pricing and options. We accept cash, credit or check.
Unlike spa or soft-chamber facilities, we use FDA-cleared, hard-shell Fortius 420 chambers to deliver 100% pure oxygen at therapeutic pressures. This ensures maximum oxygen absorption in blood plasma and tissues—fueling healing where your body needs it most. Every session is supervised by experienced hyperbaric medical professionals with strict safety oversight.
Whether you’re seeking surgical recovery support, concussion treatment, chronic condition management, or wellness optimization, MD Hyperbaric Wauwatosa is here to help. Our mission is to make hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Wauwatosa both accessible and effective for patients seeking advanced wellness and performance benefits.
