What is the full name of the title doctor in House M.D.?

The title doctor in House M.D. is named Gregory House.

Played by Hugh Laurie, Dr. Gregory House is the show’s central character and a specialist in diagnostic medicine. He leads a small team at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, where he tackles cases that other physicians have been unable to explain.

House is portrayed as exceptionally observant and medically inventive, but also as abrasive, sarcastic, and frequently willing to break hospital rules. His chronic leg pain and dependence on prescription medication are important parts of his character history, although the series focuses more broadly on his reasoning and relationships.

The surname House also echoes the character’s role as the person who searches for the hidden cause of illness. Gregory is the character’s given name; “Dr. House” is the form most often used by colleagues and patients.
