TRENTON (APRIL 14, 2026)(Cleary’s Notebook News) – Attorney General Jennifer Davenport, along with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, announced on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, that the State Board of Medical Examiners has permanently revoked the medical license of a Camden County physician following his federal conviction for conspiracy to unlawfully distribute controlled dangerous substances (CDS).
Edward Lundy, who operated a family medicine practice in Gloucester City, at 1017 Market Street, for over 40 years, admitted to conspiring with others to distribute more than 1,600 oxycodone pills outside the bounds of legitimate medical practice. He entered a guilty plea in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in January 2026 and is scheduled for sentencing in May. His office was raided by the FBI in July 2025.
According to a Health Line Overview of Dr. Edward Lundy, DO, he had specialized in Family Medicine in Gloucester City, NJ. for 49 years. He was board-certified in Family Practice. Dr. Lundy graduated from PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE and was affiliated with Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, Jefferson Stratford Hospital and Jefferson Washington Township Hospital. Dr. Lundy, completed a residency at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.
Under a Consent Order filed with the Board, Lundy agreed to permanently surrender his license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey. The agreement resolves allegations that his criminal actions constituted repeated gross negligence, malpractice, and professional misconduct. It also found that he violated state regulations governing CDS prescribing and issued prescriptions without proper justification. Additionally, Lundy will permanently forfeit his New Jersey CDS registration, which previously authorized him to prescribe controlled substances.
“As New Jersey continues to address the lasting impact of the opioid epidemic, physicians who irresponsibly prescribe addictive drugs cannot be permitted to practice,” said Attorney General Davenport. “We remain committed to removing any practitioners who contributed to this public health crisis.”
“Medical professionals who recklessly prescribe controlled substances present a serious risk to public safety,” said Jeremy Hollander. “By taking decisive disciplinary action, we are protecting patients and maintaining the integrity of the medical profession.”
According to case records, between April 2024 and June 2025, Lundy issued oxycodone prescriptions without conducting proper physical examinations, evaluating patients for dependency, performing required drug screenings, or addressing the risks associated with long-term opioid use. He also collaborated with another licensed prescriber to distribute oxycodone outside accepted medical standards. The offense involved approximately 1,680 pills of oxycodone 20 mg.
The Consent Order requires Lundy to immediately cease all patient care activities in New Jersey, including through telehealth, and prohibits him from entering his former practice during patient hours. He is further barred from participating in or influencing any medical or healthcare-related activities in the state, including serving as an expert witness or consultant. Lundy must also divest from any financial interests in medical practices and is prohibited from receiving compensation tied to healthcare services provided by others.
The State was represented by Kevin Bui under the supervision of Doreen A. Hafner within the Division of Law’s Professional Boards Prosecution Section.
Individuals who believe they have been treated improperly by a licensed professional may file a complaint with the Division of Consumer Affairs online or by calling 1-800-242-5846 (toll-free within New Jersey) or 973-504-6200.
Dr. Lundy was doing this for more than 10 years before he was caught. I have family members that became addicts because of the man. If people only knew how crooked he really was. Sad part is he likely won’t receive any jail time. Meanwhile he looked at my mother thinking all she wanted was pain medication, when in reality her back was in a very severe condition that needed immediate surgery. He went as far as to tell her to find another doctor if she thinks he’ll just give her oxycodone. I personally hope he burns in hell for what he did to so many people.
I’ve been going to DR.Lundy since I was in my 20’s..I’m now 67…the whole time I was seeing him he had me on some kind of benzo …starting with Klonopin and then Valium and then Xanax for over 25 years…at 63 I noticed that I was withdrawing from them even tho I wasn’t abusing them so I went into a rehab 3 1/2 yrs ago and I’m still recovering to this day..they had to wean me

DIRTY DRUGS, IM SO GLAD TO BE OUT. THIS IS HYPOCRISY AT ITS FINEST, YET GLOUCESTER ALWAYS WAS THAT …NOTHING IS EVER WHAT IT SEEMS.
Dr.Lundy took care of my mom. He went out of his way, to come to our home and see her when she was very sick. He took care of me, my sister, my daughter my nieces and was a good man. He helped people. Take responsibility for yourself and stop blaming a good man.
I am sure that all his patients, including myself, will echo the same remark: he was a good man and a good doctor. That is why we chose him to treat our ailments. However, he has pleaded guilty to committing a very serious crime. It makes you wonder why this man, who helped so many people, would do something so foolish. Very sad for him and very sad for his family. All the good things he has done over his 49-year career will be forgotten now because of this mistake.
