He calls me a "cutter" and laughs at the fact my family and doctor wanted me admitted. He diagnosed me with 6 different things in the span of 10 minutes talking to me and perscirbed me a medication without telling me what it was even for. I was sexually assaulted (by an ex) but since it happened at age 18 he said it didn't "count". He still hasn't helped me find a new therapist when the one I was seeing who was temporary left. The original therapist was on mat leave but she's back and he still hasn't helped me to see her and that was like 3 years ago now

My only complaint about Dr. D is that he is hard to access because he is at the Vic and we were in the North End. However, my wife (now deceased at age 31) used to just show up without an appointment and he would always take her. He expressed a general concern for her and was of great assistance with her psych medications. She had great confidence in him and he helped immensely during her pregnancies. She left me two beautiful baby boys and she couldn't have done it without him. Thanks Dr. D

I’ve been a patient for about 5 years now and extremely grateful for his care. He has been compassionate and supportive with my medications and insurance for my disability. He really listens and seems to understand and empathize with all of my issues, highs and lows. I don’t know what I’ll do when he retires. (I was lucky to have been referred to him when my previous psychiatrist sadly passed away.)

This is just a patient update following a previous rating. The long and short of it is that Derocquigny as well as one of his minions made false allegations against me that are documented in the medical records prepared by the stellar neanderthal himself. As of yet I have not been able to find a satisfactory resolution.

Dr Rocquigny was the only doctor that could cure my depression out of 5 I saw. He saved my life.

I am NOT a patient of DeRocquigny nor will I ever be! This man has destroyed my right to live peacefully and happy in my old age. He has a patient that lives in the same block as I do. Now, I don't know what I have done to this tenant for him to have a discussion with his doctor about me. DeRocquigny cost me an apartment that was promised to me. When another apartment came up, I had to fight through legal channels to have it. It hasn't even been a year that I am in my new apartment and now I am finding myself out on the street at the end of this month. I found out that somehow DeRocquigny has something to do with this also. This same tenant has also informed me that DeRocquigny is on the board of directors for Manitoba Housing and gets his young patients into Manitoba housing that is meant for 55+. It is time for that man to turn in is license. This my opinion...DeRocquigny only cares about those he can control. I can't even give him one star...unless this site forces me to.

Kind, understanding and encouraging. Mental health is a very tricky area. It takes a special kind of Dr to never give up on you..... you can have some very dark moments. Dr.D has been amazing support to me from my darkest moments to my brightest. Thankful for his dedication.

Upon reviewing my medical records, I discovered that Derocquigny had written that I had accused more than one psychiatrist of sexually assaulting me. I contacted the Minister of Health to inform them that my medical records 'alleged' that I indiscriminately accuse psychiatrists of sexual abuse. In addition, I found references to 'violent tendencies' allegedly towards a registered psychiatrist nurse which I also brought to the attention of the Minister. She assisted me to have a statement of correction placed on my Victoria Hospital records. De Rocquigny also used an authorization to view medical records to obtain records which he did not have the legal right to access. A lawyer reviewed my medical records, commenting that the the records showed little regard for me, my health or health care. Unfortunately my only option was to pay for a forensic psychiatrist to review the records to determine whether there were any legal or ethical violations (malpractice). I instead simply chose to file a complaint with Victoria Hospital and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.

Dr. DeRocquigny has saved me! His aggressive treatment while I was in the Vic finally broke through the black walls of depression and anxiety and ocd that had imprisoned me for years. Not any magic bullet; but he keeps up on the new treatment options and tried one with me (a combo of an older drug with one I was on); he had just heard of it at a convention. It worked! I had been on various drugs; but none really broke the darkness for me. He does seem a bit definite about his prescriptions--but then they DO WORK! He is kind and easy to talk to and gives gentle prodding towards goals for healing. Even though he is uber busy,he never rushes me. I think he is a knowledgeable physician and a caring human being. He puts one at ease. I was blessed to be given him as my doctor.

Dr. Derocquigny referred to the sexual abuse I suffered at the hands of another psychiatrist ( a colleague of Dr. Deroc) as 'alleged' despite the facts of the case being easily accessible to him. He also passed his opinion along to his staff, and others, that the assault was 'alleged'. Definitely NOT an appropriate choice of psychiatrists for survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault! Additionally, Dr.DeRoc prescribed a drug cocktail that exacerbated my thyroid condition, caused a heart arrhythmia, persistent cough and auditory hallucinations - none of which he took too seriously. I have withdrawn from all psychotropic drugs and left the mental health care system.
