After reports surfaced on Monday that a neurologist specializing in Parkinson's disease made repeated visits to the White House in recent months, the Biden administration offered an explanation late Monday.
In a letter from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who serves as the physician to the president, he said neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard made numerous visits to the White House campus in his capacity in the White House Medical Unit.O'Connor said many of the visits were part of neurology clinics intended for active duty military members who serve at the White House.
"An extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor are there any signs of cervical myelopathy," O'Connor wrote on Feb. 28 about President Biden's health.
On Monday, The New York Times reported Cannard made eight visits to the White House over the course of eight months, according to visitor logs.
