Joe Biden’s personal physician met with top neurologist and Parkinson’s specialist at the White House – as president refuses cognitive test

Joe Biden‘s personal physician met with a top neurologist at the White House, visitor logs show.

Dr Kevin O’Connor, the president’s doctor, met with Parkinson’s specialist Dr. Kevin Cannard and two others on January 17, the New York Post reports.

Cannard is a movement disorder specialist at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland. 

He was joined by cardiologist Dr. John E. Atwood and another unidentified individual for the 5 pm meeting, according to the logs.

The disclosure comes amid mounting scrutiny over the president’s mental state following his car crash debate against rival Donald Trump.

Biden, 81, has sought to quash rumors he is unfit to lead and still asserts he will run in the November election, but has refused to state whether he is undergoing regular, official cognitive tests.

‘Look, I have a cognitive test every single day,’ Biden said when asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Friday, as he referred to the tasks he faces daily in a rigorous job. 

‘Every day, I have that test. Everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, but I’m running the world.’ 

Records show the president was in the White House on the day of the medics’ January meeting, as it took place on the same day he hosted House and Senate leaders to convince them to back extra funding for Ukraine.

Cannard has been in his position at the Walter Reed center for almost 20 years.

He has served as ‘neurology specialist supporting the White House Medical Unit,’ since 2012, according to his LinkedIn.

The White House refused to say if they met with Biden during the meeting, but the president was in D.C. at the time

The White House has declined to confirm if the doctors met with Biden, but O’Connor’s primary duty is to attend to the president and the first family.

The doctor issued Biden a clean bill of health during an annual exam in February, which ruled out Parkinson’s, O’Connor said at the time.

He became the president’s physician in 2021 and has contact with him every day.

Following the debate, the White House said Biden had done a verbal ‘check-in’ with his doctor.

But questions over his competency remain, especially after his first sit-down interview since the disastrous June 27 debate did little to assuage fears.

Several Democrats had called for Biden to quit the race following the debate and they reiterated this wish after yesterday’s ABC interview.

He accused the president and his wife of attempting to gloss over his state of mind.

‘I believe he and Jill Biden have led the cover up,’ Jackson said.

‘Kevin O’Connor is like a son to Jill Biden — she loves him. It’s crazy. 

‘Kevin O’Connor was in that job on day one of the Biden administration because they knew they could trust Kevin to say and do anything that needed to be said or done and cover up whatever needed to be covered up. He is part of the Biden family.’

O’Connor and Cannard refused to comment when approached by the New York Post. 

A White House spokesman also declined to comment on the nature of the meeting. 

‘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,’ he said.
