The White House will not confirm if he was advising on the president's care.
An expert on Parkinson's disease visited the White House eight times over an eight-month span between last July and March of this year, including one visit with the president's personal physician, according to the White House visitor logs.
The doctor, Kevin Cannard, is a neurologist and "movement disorders specialist" who works at Walter Reed. According to the logs, prior to July of 2023 he had only visited the White House once in November of 2022. The White House will not confirm if he was advising on the president's personal care, saying only in a statement "a wide variety of specialists from the Walter Reed system visit the White House complex to treat thousands of military personnel who work on the grounds.
"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," the report states.
