President Joe Biden has not consulted a neurologist beyond his routine annual physicals, White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a letter released Monday in response to speculation over visits to the White House by an expert on Parkinson's disease.

Dr. Kevin Cannard from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center visited the White House eight times in the last eight months, the New York Times reported, citing public visitor logs.
