Dr. Hutchinson answered all my questions about COVID and the way the virus works in the body clearly throughly. I respect his expertise as a neuroscientist and greatly appreciate his skill and concern as a caregiver.
Dr. Hutchinson is a true expert and on top of that he is always kind and concerned. We are glad we found him.
Dr. Hutchinson is a board-certified neurologist and senior faculty at the Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai, Manhattan. His clinical interests include headaches, dementia, concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson's Disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, anxiety, and REM sleep disorders. He has an extensive scientific background and brings a science-based approach to solving clinical problems.
During his residency at the University of Washington, Hutchinson used his knowledge of chaos theory to propose a new way of treating status epilepticus, the most lethal form of epilepsy. The treatment proved successful and is now standard-of-care in the US. Hutchinson later did a sabbatical at Queen Square, London, where Ian McDonald was pioneering the use of beta interferon as the first treatment for multiple sclerosis.
After residency training, Hutchinson underwent a neuroimaging fellowship in Los Angeles.
After arriving at NYU in 1994, Hutchinson pioneered the use of cholinesterase inhibitors as a treatment for the dementia of Parkinson's disease. At the time this was considered forbidden because it might make the patient physically worse, but Hutchinson argued that this premise was ill-conceived. Today, cholineserase inhibitors are standard-of-care in Parkinson's dementia. Hutchinson later developed a new way of treating acute relapses in multiple sclerosis, which puts the patient in charge, and has yielded impressive long-term results.
During his time at NYU, Hutchinson made early contributions to functional MRI, discovering that regional brain activations during cognitive tasks are accompanied by widespread deactivations. In structural imaging, Hutchinson combined physics, neuropathology, and image processing to develop a robust MRI biomarker for Parkinson's disease.
In addition to certification in neurology, Hutchinson is certified in neuroimaging (MRI and CT of the brain and spine), which combines neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and neurophysiology, fields that form the unique base of clinical neurology.
Dr. Hutchinson holds a Ph.D. in molecular physics and is the inventor of spatial sensitivity encoding for MRI - sometimes referred to as parallel MRI - which is now the acknowledged standard for clinical MRI. He is currently exploring a possible extension of this to ultrafast imaging.

Dr. Hutchinson takes the time to properly diagnose. My case has been a complicated one and each visit he takes all the time I need. His office manager is phenomenal and the practice is very welcoming in general
He gets it! No BS! Wants to make sure all the pieces fit! Diagnostics are his strong suit! Looking forward to a great relationship.
Amazing neurologist
Dr. Hutchinson put my mind at ease and provided the doctor needed for my condition. He was kind and listened and most important left his door open if I needed him again.
Dr. Hutchinson was phenomenal. Our appointment was the most thorough, and informative experience I've ever had when seeing a specialist. He asked great questions and took the time to explain things. I can not recommend him more.
Comforting!
Extremely thorough, great personality and eased my nerves about any concerns!! Highly, highly recommend

He has a lot of knowledge about his professional outlook.
It's always a pleasure talking to Dr. Hutchinson

All goid
Very professional, very knowledgeable and caring , listens to his patients
Very personable and knowledgeable physician
Repectful, attentive and always willing to listen to problems or questions in between appointments. I would recommend him to everyone!
Dr. Hufchinson clearly described how to take the medications with food. It is unclear why I have to continue taking Keppra even though I have;t had a seizure for four years.
Excellent!
Very professional yet down to earth. Willing to hear out my concerns, and i didnt feel judged like some doctors can make you feel. Great guy!
Dedicated professional with integrity!
