White House clarifies on Parkinson's expert's visit to Biden: 'No'

O’Connor’s letter, released late Monday, July 8, confirms that Cannard frequently visiting the White House does not represent examinations of Biden, as the doctor is responsible for the care of other people too. “Prior to the pandemic, and following its end, [Cannard] has held regular Neurology clinics at the White House Medical Clinic in support of the thousands of active-duty members assigned in support of White House operations,” his letter reads, according to ABC News.

“Many military personnel experience neurological issues related to their service, and Dr. Canard regularly visits the WHMU as part of this General Neurology Practice,” O'Connor adds, noting that "President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical."

O’Connor went on to explain that as per Biden’s last physical, no signs of Parkinson's was found. He added that he had "obtained permission from the President and Dr. Cannard to confirm the details I am sharing."
