Trump to Visit Walter Reed for Third Checkup in 13 Months
The visit will be his third hospital check in 13 months as questions persist over bruising, sleepiness and long-term aspirin use.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a medical and dental checkup, marking his third hospital visit in 13 months following a White House announcement made May 11.
- Visible bruises and red marks on Trump's hands and neck, plus repeatedly photographed swollen ankles, have prompted health scrutiny, particularly after the White House disclosed in July that Trump developed chronic venous insufficiency, a vein condition related to his age.

- White House physician Sean Barbabella stated Trump 'remains in exceptional health,' though the president's October visit to Walter Reed sparked weeks of inquiries before officials clarified he received a CT scan to rule out cardiovascular issues.
- Physician Jeffrey Kuhlman, who treated former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, questioned White House transparency, noting Trump's chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis was absent from both his April and October 2025 medical reports.
