Who is White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor and what are his close ties to the Biden family?
Fox News
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden's physician, has had a long and close relationship with the president and his family before mounting concerns over Biden's mental acuity.
O’Connor’s name, however, has recently become common in news reports, as speculation mounts that Biden’s mental acuity has slipped and concerns grow that the White House’s credibility regarding information on the president’s health is dwindling amid repeated gaffes, miscues and disjointed remarks Biden has made during public events.
The White House physician is affectionately known to Biden and his family simply as "Doc," and was specifically requested by Biden in 2009 to stay on as his physician after serving on the White House Medical Unit under the George W. Bush administration.
