President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday for his annual physical and dental checkup, marking his third visit in the last year. The appointment is included in Trump’s public schedule and is expected to consist of routine medical and dental evaluations, according to the White House.
Trump visited Walter Reed in April and October 2025, and he also had two dental visits in West Palm Beach this year. Annual presidential physicals at Walter Reed typically include blood work, cardiovascular screenings, vision and hearing evaluations, neurological assessments, weight and mobility checks, and reviews of medications and chronic conditions. Cognitive screening tests may be included, but the White House has not specified which exams Trump will undergo on Tuesday.
The visit is likely to attract attention, as Trump will turn 80 next month, making him the oldest person to be inaugurated as president in U.S. history. Concerns regarding age and fitness for office have been significant topics in the 2024 campaign, with both Trump and former President Joe Biden facing scrutiny over their health and stamina.
Additionally, Trump has faced questions about his physical health due to visible bruising on his hands and swelling in his legs. The White House attributed the bruises to frequent handshaking as part of his duties. Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency last year, which affects blood flow in the legs.
The extent of information released to the public following the visit remains uncertain, as presidents are not legally required to disclose their medical records. After a physical exam in April, Trump stated he “aced” the cognitive exam, and the White House reported he was in “excellent health.”
In October, Trump returned to Walter Reed for a scheduled follow-up, which included a CT scan to assess his cardiovascular and abdominal health. The White House physician maintained that Trump “remains in excellent overall health.” Trump's approach to medical disclosures has faced criticism, particularly after claims made by his former White House physician about his health during his first term.
