Dr. Mark S. Bezzek has been named medical director of the emergency department at

Rutherford Regional Medical Center.
Bezzek, a native of Jersey City, N.J., comes to Rutherford Regional from Memorial Hospital of Salem County in Salem, N.J., where he served as chairman of the emergency department. He previously served as a staff physician for South Jersey Physicians Group in Vineland, N.J. and Mercy Suburban Hospital in Norristown, Pa.
Bezzek’s philosophy for the emergency department is to see patients right away and get them out quickly. He has implemented processes at other medical centers to decrease the amount of time a patient waits to see a doctor from eight hours to less than 30 minutes.
Bezzek holds a medical degree from St. George’s University, Grenada in Bayshore, N.Y. and obtained his undergraduate degree from Rutgers. He completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at The Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, N.J.
