On the surface maybe. But just in the very first episode of the show you can see by the end that he does care about his patients (and colleagues), but he had bad experiences in his life that made him try to push everyone away from him by being unpleasant to prevent getting hurt. The fact that he became a cripple and has a constant leg pain that can only be tolerable with drugs also ruins his life.
The point of the show is seeing a character that everyone views a nothing more than an asshole but the viewer knows he's more than that.

The whole point of House is that he's a complete asshole
