He graduated as cand.med. in 1902, and later took the dr.med. degree. He worked in Gjøvik from 1902 to 1904, and thereafter in Oslo, running a private clinic from 1908 to 1940.

From its foundation in 1932 to 1956 he chaired the board of directors.[1] [2] Huitfeldt was also physician-in-ordinary of the Norwegian royal family. During the German occupation of Norway, the royal family was chased into exile, while Huitfeldt was imprisoned at Grini between January and June 1942.[1][3]

He was the son of Henrik Jørgen Huitfeldt-Kaas,[4] son-in-law of newspaper editor Amandus Schibsted.[1] and father of Henrik J. S. Huitfeldt.[5]
