About Our Pharmacy
At Leos Lakeside Pharmacy everyone shares the majority of the jobs at hand.
Testimonials
Leo's Lakeside Pharmacy has become a marvelous drug store.
It is very efficiently run and much friendlier and more accommodating
than other pharmacies. Here you are treated as a person, not just a
name on prescription bottle. I pick up prescription reffills
frequently and appreciate the quick service.
The interior of the store has been tremendously improved by its
present owner, Raj, and shelves are now so well stocked there
is no need for trips to a large chain drug store. Leo's is a very
good place to get your flu shot or other vaccination. I am glad
that we now have such an excellent local pharmacy in Lakeside.

Raj has been our pharmacist even before he opened his own pharmacy.
He and all of the Leo's staff have always provided us with excellent
over-the-counter service, by utilizing their wealth of knowledge
pertaining to current and new medications, their willingness to share
that knowledge whenever we have a question and the friendly atmosphere.
We appreciate and have trusted Leo's pharmacy for many years,
with all of our prescription medication needs.
