Dr. James Levi Hutchinson

Dr James Hutchinson memory will never fade he’s like family his kindness and tough grit will always be a memory that I will cherish. No matter the circumstances he always found a way to keep you laughing at your own situation. Their is no one else that I can compare him to other than my late husband they shared the same sense of humor. He holds a spot in my heart just like Samuel my husband. I can still hear his jokes and realness when I think of him and that’s pretty often.

We met when I moved to San Mateo and started walking very early in the morning. It took me by pleasant surprise when I walked into your office a few months later for my first visit with my new primary doctor. You were a gem. Like a father. We were birthday buddies and I will never forget our many conversations. I am so fortunate to have been in your presence. You were a gift to us all.

Dr.James Hutchinson was a icon. You will be missed. I'm so honored to have known you and thank you for delivering me.

Knew Hames as his patient for about 20 + years. In 2017 I found myself in ICU at a Silicon Valley hospital for 3 weeks. A day or two after being transferred to recovery, I received a call from Dr. Hutchinson to check on my condition. I told him I felt lucky to be alive and blessed to have survived my ordeal. He replied “ don’t worry Gordon, only the good die young”.

We shared a hearty laugh and I was very happy for his call. A straight shooter standing on solid ground. The world is...

God Children
said he was one of the Best Doctors in San Mateo.
RIP DR.

May 7th 2021 around noon was the last time I saw Dr Hutchinson. It’s been over a year since I visited his office before the pandemic in 2019. He was high in spirit and pleasing in manner as always but he had become very frail in terms of physical condition. I was hoping to see him at least one more time before his planned retirement in July. Little did I know, that’s not going to happen. It’s amazing that he can work till 98 years of age. With much admiration for his contribution to...

Dr. Hutchinson, You have always been a light in my heart as an African American Man. You gave us all a clear version of what we can achieve in obedience. Thank You from The Holland Family.
