About Dr, Caleb Seet
Dr. Caleb Seet Yu Shiang is an accredited Family Physician with over 9 years of clinical experience and a special interest in pain management and sports medicine. As Medical Director of DR+ Medical & Paincare Alexandra, he leads a clinic dedicated to helping patients find lasting relief from musculoskeletal, joint, and soft tissue pain through evidence-based, minimally invasive treatments.
Dr. Seet graduated from NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and went on to complete postgraduate diplomas in Family Medicine and Sports Medicine. He is registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) as a Family Physician.
Dr. Seet has worked across a wide range of hospital departments and spent two years at a government Polyclinic. This comprehensive medical experience shapes how he sees patients today. A knee complaint, for instance, is not just a knee problem. He looks at the whole picture: the patient’s other health conditions, how they move, and what they do day to day.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Seet is a former competitive athlete and keeps an active lifestyle. This gives him a practical understanding of what it means to be sidelined by an injury and how much it matters to get back to doing what you enjoy.
