In developing his unique program of Cost-saving Methods, Dr. Jardini draws upon the experience of over 75,000 outpatient visits logged over a twenty-year medical practice. His background in biochemistry and his tenure as chair of the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee of Twin Cities Community Hospital also contribute to his ample scholarship and credentials.  Research for this work included interviews of pharmacists, pharmaceutical representatives, colleagues, and allied health professionals. 
     He has independently studied industry pricing, patent laws, and retail and discounted drug costs. He has also examined patient assistance programs, government health care agencies, and structuring of insurance formularies. He continues to apply his Cost-saving Methods extensively in his own practice with unmitigated success, saving patients thousands of dollars in prescription costs. A survey of his colleagues has shown overwhelming positive physician attitudes toward assisting patients with the program.
     Dr. Jardini’s first publication appeared in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1981, stemming from research he performed at the National Institutes of Health. After receiving his degree in Biochemistry from the University of California, he worked with N. H. Colburn, Chief of the Laboratory of Cancer Prevention at the National Cancer Institute. There he co-authored the paper, “Retinoids inhibit promoter-dependent preneoplastic progression in mouse epidermal cell lines.” 
     His research experiences cemented his commitment to the field of Medicine, drawing him to the opposite coast and the University of Southern California. He received his M.D. degree in 1984 and completed a three-year specialty program in Family Medicine in 1987. He remains a diplomat of the American Board of Medical Examiners and is certified by the American Board of Family Practice. He has served on the Governing Board, Medical Executive Committee, and as Chief of Family Practice at Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton, California, where he continues to practice family medicine. 
     Early in his medical career, Dr. Jardini became sensitive to the plight of patients struggling to afford the cost of medical treatment.
