Dr Katila Withanapathirana

I gained my Medical Degree from University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in 2006 (MBBS), and moved to New Zealand in 2007 to continue hospital training. I started work in the Three Kings Accident and Medical Clinic in 2013.

I have completed training in general practice and also urgent care.

I am skilled at Chronic care and with all aspects of family medicine, accident and emergency management, steroid joint injections, minor surgeries, fracture management, and Jadelle insertion/removal. I am trying to improve my skills in dermoscopy.

Since 2020, I have served as the Medical Director of the clinic, which adds to my responsibilities beyond patient care. As a result, I now work part-time in seeing patients.

I greatly enjoy the long term relationship developed with patients to improve their health and also to keep up to date with advances in medicine.

I am fluent in English and Sinhalese. I am married with two boys. I like to spend time with my family, watch movies, and listen to music in my free time. I also enjoy swimming, chess, and tennis.
