    In spite of the tabloid level headline, this article says he was white house neurologist since 2012, continuous, and visited Obama 10 times in his first year at the post. Visits to Trump were not disclosed.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The White House is refusing to say why a Parkinson’s Disease expert met with President Joe Biden’s doctor earlier this year.

    In fact, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre won’t even confirm that the meeting took place — even though due to Biden’s own policy, the doctor’s eight visits are public information.

    Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurological expert, visited the White House eight times in roughly eight months, though it’s unclear what his trips entailed.

    Biden’s health has received renewed attention in the wake of a disastrous debate performance in which he sometimes struggled to finish his sentences and stared off into the distance on other occasions.

    According to the February health summary, Biden did receive “an extremely detailed neurological exam” that ruled out the possibility of Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or other similar disorders.

    On Monday, The New York Times published a more extensive report on Cannard’s visits, citing both current and Obama-era White House visitor logs.
