President Joe Biden's doctor recently released a letter addressing concerns about the president's health and confirming that neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard has been providing neurological care at the White House. The letter stated that President Biden has only seen a neurologist during his annual physical exams and that Dr. Cannard has been conducting regular Neurology Clinics at the White House Medical Clinic to support military personnel assigned to White House operations.
Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the president's physician, emphasized that Dr. Cannard is the neurological specialist who examines President Biden during his annual physicals, and his findings have been publicly disclosed each time the results were released. The letter referenced sections of Biden's last physical exam conducted in February.
The release of the letter followed reports that Dr. Cannard, an expert in Parkinson's disease, had visited the White House multiple times in the past eight months, meeting with Dr. O'Connor at least once. The White House initially struggled to address questions about Biden's neurological health, with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre citing security reasons for not confirming the visits or providing further details.
However, Jean-Pierre clarified that President Biden has never been treated for Parkinson's disease or taken any medication for the condition. The letter from Dr. O'Connor aimed to provide transparency regarding the president's neurological care and dispel any speculation about his health.
