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.
