Ocean County is set to get a new Medical Examiner. According to county documents obtained by TLS, Peter M. Mazari, MD, PhD, is appointed Ocean County Medical Examiner for a five-year term from December 1, 2026 to November 30, 2031.
According to his practice’s website, Dr. Mazari is a forensic pathologist who has served as a medical examiner in southern New Jersey for nearly a decade and has performed more than 1,500 autopsies. The site says he earned his MD and a PhD in molecular biology and biochemistry at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, trained in pathology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and completed a forensic pathology fellowship at the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The county documents also appoint Chaim Sender of Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus/RWJBarnabas Health in Lakewood as a new member of the Ocean County Human Services Advisory Council, for a three-year term running through November 9, 2029.
Also on the list, Andrew T. Leimbach of Toms River is appointed to the county’s Local Advisory Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (LACADA), filling an unexpired term through May 8, 2027.
Is it a full time job to be a member of the Ocean County Human Services Advisory Council? It would be tremendous loss to MSC if Chaim Sender would have to give up his job there! In any event, Congratulations to Chaim Sender on a well deserved appointment!
