Attorney General Jennifer Davenport announced on Apr. 14 that the State Board of Medical Examiners has permanently revoked the medical license of Edward Lundy, a Camden County physician convicted of conspiring to illegally distribute opioids.
Lundy, who operated a family medicine practice in Gloucester City, pleaded guilty in January to conspiring with others to distribute more than 1,600 oxycodone pills outside accepted medical practice and not for legitimate purposes. He is scheduled for sentencing in May. The action comes as New Jersey continues efforts to address the ongoing opioid epidemic and enforce strict standards for prescribing controlled substances.
In a Consent Order filed with the Board, Lundy agreed to permanent revocation of his medical license and New Jersey Controlled Dangerous Substances Registration. The order resolves allegations that he engaged in gross negligence and professional misconduct by violating regulations governing prescription drugs. According to documents filed in the case, between April 2024 and June 2025, Lundy issued prescriptions without performing required examinations or assessments for dependence and worked with another prescriber at his practice to dispense oxycodone without legitimate purpose.
“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.”
Jeremy Hollander, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs, said: “Doctors who indiscriminately prescribe CDS pose a danger to the public that we will not tolerate. 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.”
Under terms set by regulators, Lundy must immediately stop all patient contact at any location including telehealth platforms and is barred from entering his former office during business hours or participating in any healthcare activities statewide. He also must divest himself from any financial interest or benefit related to practicing medicine within New Jersey.
The matter was handled by Deputy Attorney General Kevin Bui under supervision from Section Chief Doreen A. Hafner within the Division of Law’s Professional Boards Prosecution Section.
According to the official website, the New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin aims to protect residents’ lives and property while upholding legal standards throughout all counties and municipalities statewide. The office influences public safety through law enforcement oversight as part of its statutory mandate across New Jersey. Services include legal representation for state agencies, crime lab support, victim advocacy programs, consumer protection initiatives,and regulatory functions relatedto justice and public safety matters.
