Biden's physician says neurologist visited White House as part of annual examinations
President Biden's physician said Monday night that a neurologist who specializes in Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders visited the White House as part of his annual physical examinations, as concerns mount over the president's health and mental acuity.
White House physician Kevin O'Connor said in a letter that Dr. Kevin Cannard was chosen for Biden's annual physicals "not because he is a movement disorder specialist, but because he is a highly trained and highly regarded neurologist here at Walter Reed and across the Military Health System."
Cannard has a "very wide expertise which makes him flexible to see a variety of patients and problems," O'Connor continued.
No signs of neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, were found during Biden's physical in February, O'Connor wrote. The president did not see a neurologist outside his annual physicals.
O'Connor said he received permission from the president and Cannard to confirm the neurologist's identity and the nature of the visit, noting, "To protect patient privacy for the thousands of patients of the White House Medical Unit and the physicians who treat them, normally we do not disclose the names of specialists we work with."
This, after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a briefing earlier Monday that she would not identify Cannard or details of his visits due to privacy reasons.
