The letter from President Joe Biden’s doctor came hours after a tense exchange in the White House briefing room.
Kevin O’Connor, the president’s doctor, said Kevin Cannard — who visited the White House several times over the last year — has been a neurology consultant to the White House medical office since 2012. Cannard, a Parkinson’s expert, holds neurology clinics at the White House for active-duty military members, the letter said. He was also the neurological specialist who examined Biden for his three annual physicals since taking office.
“Seeing patients at the White House is something that Dr. Cannard has been doing for a dozen years. Dr. Cannard was chosen for this responsibility not because he is a movement disorder specialist, but because he is a highly trained and highly regarded neurologist here at Walter Reed and across the Military Health System, with a very wide expertise which makes him flexible to see a variety of patients and problems,” the letter said.
