Scheck & Siress celebrates 60 years of serving the orthotic and prosthetic community

Over the past 60 years, Scheck & Siress has grown to be the premier, private group practice in Orthotics & Prosthetics in the Chicago and Northwest Indiana area. Since its founding in Oak Park in 1953, Scheck & Siress has prided itself on delivering the very best in orthotic and prosthetic care, innovative products and services, and a commitment to the overall well-being of its patients.  For the past 60 years, Scheck & Siress has continued to maintain an active O&P practice in Oak Park.

Scheck & Siress was founded by William Scheck, CP and Patrick Siress, CP, and started out with one office and few employees as a prosthetic company before incorporating orthotics in 1955 with the addition of Gus Scheck, CO.  Scheck & Siress has since grown to 11 offices with over 160 employees.   Scheck & Siress continues to look for growth opportunities to expand its ability to provide convenient, cost-effective care while focusing on utilizing the latest technology to deliver the best outcomes for its patients. 

The O&P industry has seen much advancement over the past 60 years of Scheck & Siress’s history.  Prosthetics that were once created with wood and leather are now manufactured with microprocessor technology and titanium components. The onset of formal education has transitioned O&P from a trade to a profession lead by respected O&P professionals.  People are always the key, and the growth and success of Scheck & Siress can be directly attributed to the unwavering commitment of our dedicated practitioners and staff.
