Get the inside scoop on the Parkinson's disease expert who visited the White House multiple times and the buzz surrounding President Biden's health.

Parkinson's disease has recently been in the spotlight, with a neurological specialist making frequent visits to the White House.

In a surprising turn of events, it was revealed that President Biden has not sought medical advice from a neurologist outside of his annual physicals. This disclosure sheds light on the frequency of Parkinson's disease expert's visits to the White House and the implications for Biden's ongoing health scrutiny.
