Multiple visits by Parkinson's expert to White House weren't for Biden, doctor says

(USA Today) WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his three annual physicals since entering the White House, his physician said in a letter Monday night, clarifying that recent trips to the White House by an expert on Parkinson's disease weren't to meet with the president.

The letter from Dr. Kevin O'Connor followed reports from USA TODAY and others on Dr. Kevin Cannard, an expert on Parkinson’s disease, who visited the White House eight times during an eight-month period − including once with O'Connor, the president's physician − according to official visitor logs.

Cannard serves as the neurology specialist supporting the White House Medical Unit. His White House visits included one meeting with O’Connor and two others at the White House residence clinic on Jan. 17, the New York Post first reported.

But O'Connor, in a Monday letter addressed to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, sought to make clear that this visit and others didn't involve Biden. "President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical," he wrote.
