No, the noun 'doctor' is a common noun, a general word for a physician, veterinarian, or dentist; a general word for a person with a doctorate degree (PhD).

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing.

Examples of proper nouns for the common noun 'doctor' are:

  • Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Doctor Phillips Boulevard, Orlando, FL
  • "The Story of Doctor Dolittle" a novel by Hugh Lofting
