He was reportedly “rushed” to hospital after being spotted with a full escort of Secret Service officials. The unscheduled medical tests sparked fears and concerns among the public. However, it was initially played down by his White House colleagues.
They insisted that Trump was having his annual checkup at the Walter Medical Centre.
In a statement shared on Twitter, the physician said that they “will continue to monitor the President’s health, planning a more comprehensive examination after the New Year”.
The physician explained that the examination was part of a “routine, planned interim checkup” which was part of the “regular, primary preventative care he receives throughout the year”.
The trip was “kept off the record due to scheduling uncertainties”, the expert continued.
They said: “After a little more than an hour of examination, labs and discussions, the President took a brief tour of the hospital to visit with some of the medical staff as well as speak with the family of a solider undergoing surgery, after which he returned home to the White House.
“Despite some of the speculation, the President has not had any chest pain, nor was he evaluated or treated for any urgent or acute issues.
“Specially, he did not undergo and specialised cardiac or neurologic evaluations.”
The doctor added: “Primary preventative medical care is something that occurs continuously throughout the year, it is not just a single annual event.

Reports say that Secret Service’s heavily armed counter-assault team were seen taking up strategic positions after arriving at the hospital.
Reporters in the White House pool were forbidden to report on President Trump’s departure until he arrived at the military hospital.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said the exam was an early part of his 2020 annual physical.
The White House has since claimed the President was “healthy and energetic without complaints after a quick exam”.
She said the latest tests were prompted by a “free weekend” in the president’s diary.
Ms Grisham later tweeted: “Further speculation beyond the extensive and honest info I put out is wholly irresponsible and dangerous for the country.”
She told Fox News: “He’s healthy as can be. He has more energy than anybody in the White House. That man works from 6am until very, very late at night.”
The 73-year-old last had an annual health check in February, which was announced ahead of time.
Following that visit, Donald Trump was found to be “in very good health”.
