Formed in 2005 by the previous owner Rebecca Cox and purchased in 2008 by Torin O’Grady, the clinic has been offering top-quality podiatry treatment and orthotic therapy to the residents of Gorokan and its surrounding areas for over a decade. Midway through 2009 Torin expanded Lakes Podiatry and opened clinics in Mangrove Mountain followed by Lake Haven, Blue Haven and Lake Munmorah.
