Consent Order

TRENTON – Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the Division of Consumer Affairs (Division) announced today that the State Board of Medical Examiners (Board) has permanently revoked the license of a Camden County physician following his conviction on a federal charge of conspiracy to unlawfully distribute controlled dangerous substances (CDS).

Edward Lundy, who ran a family medicine practice in Gloucester City, pleaded guilty to knowingly conspiring and agreeing with others to distribute and dispense more than 1,600 oxycodone pills outside the usual course of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose.  Lundy entered his guilty plea in the U.S. District Court for New Jersey in January 2026. He is scheduled to be sentenced in May.

In a Consent Order filed with the Board, Lundy has agreed that his license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey will be permanently revoked. The Consent Order resolves allegations that, through his criminal conduct, Lundy engaged in repeated acts of gross negligence, malpractice, and professional misconduct; violated the Board’s regulations governing the prescribing of CDS; and prescribed or dispensed CDS indiscriminately or without good cause. Lundy will also permanently lose his New Jersey CDS Registration, which allowed him to prescribe controlled dangerous substances in New Jersey.

“As New Jersey continues to grapple with the long-term effects of the opioid epidemic, doctors who recklessly prescribe drugs that are known to lead people down the path to addiction cannot be allowed to practice medicine in our state,” said Attorney General Davenport. “We will continue to do everything in our power to permanently remove from practice any law-breaking doctors who helped fuel this public health crisis.”

“Doctors who indiscriminately prescribe CDS pose a danger to the public that we will not tolerate,” said Jeremy Hollander, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. “By pursuing disciplinary actions that help put bad actors like this one out of practice, we are protecting the public and upholding the integrity of New Jersey’s medical profession.”

According to documents filed in the case, between April 2024 and June 2025, Lundy issued prescriptions for oxycodone without performing adequate physical examinations, assessing for physical and psychological dependence, performing required urine drug screening, or addressing the risks of chronic opioid use, as required by law. Lundy worked with another licensed prescriber in his medical practice to distribute oxycodone outside the usual course of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose. The offense involved approximately 1,680 oxycodone 20 mg pills.

Under the terms of the Consent Order, Lundy must immediately cease and desist from all patient contact at any location in New Jerseyincluding telehealth platforms, and from rendering medical care. He is also barred from entering the premises of his former medical practice during business hours when patients may be present. Additionally, Lundy is precluded from managing, overseeing, supervising, or influencing the practice of medicine or provision of healthcare activities, including by testifying as an expert witness or being retained as a consulting expert, in New Jersey. He also must divest himself from any current and future financial interest in, or benefit derived from, the practice of medicine in New Jersey and from charging, receiving, or sharing in any fee for professional services rendered by others.

The State was represented in this matter by Deputy Attorney General Kevin Bui, under the supervision of Section Chief Doreen A. Hafner, of the Professional Boards Prosecution Section, within the Affirmative Civil Enforcement Practice Group of the Division of Law.
