The Parkinson’s expert who has evaluated President Biden — logging eight different visits to the White House in as many months — is also among his donors, records show.
Dr. Kevin Cannard, a top neurologist at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington DC, has made a slew of small donations to the 81-year-old’s campaign that date back to February 2020, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
His contributions, first reported on by the Washington Examiner, total just over $3,300 — with the last check being cut in May, the records show.
Details of Cannard’s donations emerged after the White House admitted Monday that the neurologist has evaluated Biden, saying it was part of his annual physicals.
That revelation was disclosed in a letter from Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor — just hours after press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to explain Cannard’s eight recent visits to the White House.
“Dr. Cannard was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals,” O’Connor said.
“President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical.”
O’Conner stressed that Biden’s last physical in February revealed no findings that the president had Parkinson’s or any other neurological disorders.
The personal physician added that even though Cannard is a Parkinson’s disease expert, he has practiced as a general neurologist for the past six years and has been the neurology consultant to the White House medical unit since 2012.
It comes after visitor logs, which were first reported on by The Post, showed Cannard had the White House residence clinic eight times for early morning visits between July 2023 and March 2024.
The logs show that the specialist met with Megan Nasworthy, who coordinates primary care visits for the president and his family, seven times.
During his other visit, Cannard met with O’Connor and a Walter Reed cardiologist, Dr. John Atwood.
