Frank B Arian, MD

I have seen Dr. Arian over the last 4 years and have never come across a Dr. who sincerely listens to what I am saying. He has many teaching credentials which sums up what sets him apart from all other doctors. A good teacher knows how to treat a patient by 1st listening carefully to what the patient has to say. It seems simple enough but many Dr.'s I have come across just want me to listen to them. Dr. Arian is patient, persistent in treatment and above all wants to make me well again!!!! A true asset to his community of Palms Springs, and all of Coachella Valley!!! I feel very fortunate at the very least that I have him as my doctor.

Dr. Arian treated me for 5 months. I was in the midst of several tests when he chose to end our relationship without discussing any problems with me. We were in the middle of numerous tests which he had ordered and did not discuss these with me. In my case and in my opinion I feel his professionalism is questionable.

Dr. Arian and his staff are a great team. They are very friendly and seem genuinely interested in you and your wellbeing. I can often call and get an appointment the same day, if needed. Dr. Arian is always very cheerful, and he makes you feel right at home. I'm glad I switched from my old primary doctor to this one.

Dr.Frank Arian is one of the most curtious doctors I have ever known. He is never late for an appointment, which lets you know that he feels your time is just as valuable as his. He is also very meticulous taking his time in examining you. Treating your health issues and makes a conscientious effort to explain to you in detail what your health problem is and how best to treat it. I recommend him highly.

Dr Arian is the only Dr. I have ever seen who takes the time to listen, and explain all of my questions and concerns. He has taken the time to set with me for 30 to4 5 minutes just to make sure that I understand what procedures he has ordered for me.

The doctor and staff at Victory Physicians are superb. From their welcome to their follow-through, nothing falls through the cracks. Dr. Arian is very kind and personable, expressing a professional yet friendly demeanor. Kudos to everyone!

I've been a patient for over a year. Dr. Arian put me through a full panel & pysical to diagnose several issues I was concerned about. He and his office staff are friendly, thoughtful, and caring. They provide excellent care for a very low price. I have referred several close friends to him.Feel free to ask me about Ar. Arian at scottsmith34@yahoo.com.-Scott Smith

I have been seeing Dr. Arian since 2008, and though I have since moved away from Palm Springs, I will continue to see him for as long as I can. I have never before had a doctor who saw me either on time or early, as they do every time I'm at Victory. I have worked in the service industry a majority of my life, and I'm very particular about how I'm treated when I am the customer/patient/client etc. Dr. Arian and his staff set the bar for service. Even if I'm only in once a year, I'm treated as though I were in every week.I drive past the (literally) hundreds of doctors that work in the Coachella Valley each time I go to my appointments in Palm Springs. I would drive much further if I had to in order to remain a patient with Victory Physicians.

Doctor Arian has always given my daughter and myself superior, professional, and quick medical attention. His diagnosis' are concise and personally tailored to even assist us financially both in cost of office visits and also in regard to medications in different situations. I couldn't imagine anyone NOT appreciating what he and his staff do, and how they care. Thank you so much for all you have done for us Doc Frank!!!!!

Dr Arian is a very caring doctor with regards as to how he treated me when he found unusual levels in my blood with regards to my pancreas. My first thought was cancer, but he assured me not to assume anything until all the tests were in. It turned out to be a cyst, which after being retested and having another procedure done a few months later, was shown to have dissappeared. I trust him 100%.

Dr. Arian is an extremely caring doctor. He explains in plain language what you need to know and leads you on a healthy path to wellness.

The best Doctor in town, Very caring, knowledgeable and He is a clear and exceptional communicator and Staff is Pleasant & accommodating. I would rate the Victory Physicians the one of the best Small Medical Practice,

this is a very nice small medical office. they know my name and treat me very nicely and are punctual. i like the doctor and he is very good. their price is inexpensive too. i am very happy here and recommend this office

I finally found a doctor who I can relate to. I was able to establish an immediate rapport with Dr. Arian and really liked his approach to my many complicated issues. He is the most personable but professional doctor I have ever met and I am so grateful to my friend who sent me to him. This office rocks. I go right in the door when I walk in. He comes right in without delay. He doesnt rush me. He listens to all my symptoms and takes notes as he goes. He gives me diagnoses and explains why he needs certain tests and what he is looking for. His staff gives me complete instructions before I leave as to who is going to call who etc. I rate their care as 100/100. I just cannot imagine anywhere they could improve. I have no qualms recommending this doctor or office. Its a winner!

Dr Frank Arian has been my physician for over three years now. I am 61 yrs old, retired U S Navy on disability. Last January 2011 I had open heart surgery, three days into my recovery, I had complete respiratory failure, and remained in ICU for 21 days. Dr Frank came to the hospital several times to see me and my family, even though he was not a practicing physician at this hospital. Dr Frank is one of those special people caring for his patients as well as the patient's family. It is my pleasure to comment on him.

Dr. Arian has been my family physician for the past 2 1/2 years. I know others who have paid an annual fee for their doctor's services and didn't get near the quality service. His (non annual fee) service is the best kept secret in the desert! In my adult and now senior years, I can't remember having a better doctor. Thanks, Doc, for helping me take care of my health so well! Sandra McDevitt

There has never been more than a 5 minuet wait. Takes time to listen to what is said and diagnoses by what information he is given Total professional 5 star in ,y book

Dr. Arian is a great physician, he has been my pain management and primary care doctor for about 3 years now. Everytime I go in there I can expect nothing but professional service. There is never a wait longer than 10 minutes, and the staff, as well as Dr. Arian, are exceptional. It is nice to walk into a doctor's office and know that you will be taken care of.

Dr. Arian does something I miss in many doctors and that is that he listens. He takes the time to have a conversation about your health as well as your life. I think this give him a good well rounded view of you as a patient. I have no concerns about highly recommending his services to anyone.

For me it`s important to share my story with my doctor, both medical and personal as I really don`t think the two can be separated. Dr Arian has always taken the time to listen and share which has helped me get a much better understanding of my total condition and not just that one ache or pain of the moment. If you can`t share, don`t want to talk, are not an open person, perhaps Dr. Arian is not the best Doc for you. For me I`m grateful for not leaving a Doctor`s office feeling ignored and taken for granted.

When I first moved to Palm Springs, I was so lucky to find Dr. Arian. He is kind, smart and has an excellent staff. Not only is he smart and knowledgeable, he will go the extra step to ensure if he cannot treat you he will find a specialist that can. I am thrilled to have found a Dr. out here that treats you as a person, and not as a number.

It is rare to find any doctor willing to spend enough time to listen and comprehend each individual's unique health conditions. Dr. Arian has managed to establish a practice that allows for enough quality time to get quality care.

Dr. Arian`s office provides the best care I have ever found anywhere. He is always on time, but still has plenty of time to listen. He is kind, compassionate, friendly, and engaged. Not to mention, an excellent diagnostician. This guy`s the best!

Have been a patient of Dr. Arian since moving to the desert in 2009. My experience with him has been simply outstanding. He is always on time, yet always has more than adequate time to spend with me. This is not the average 3-minute breeze-by that we have come to accept as medical care. This is care delivered the old fashioned way, by a warm and caring physician.

Doctor Arian has been my primary care physician for the past 5 years since I moved down from the NW. I never have a wait longer then 5 minutes (most of the time less) and his staff is very friendly and courteous. Dr. Arian always takes the time to answer my questions and concerns with honesty and warm enthusiasm.

Dr. Arian is the type of dcotor that other physicians should learn from. He is very personable and easy to talk to, he listens to all your concerns without making you feel like what your concerns are , are just in your own head. I highly recommend Dr, Arain to anyone one and have recommended him to my very close and personal friends. He has genuine concerns for your health. Thank you Dr. Arian for showing what a true doctor should be like.

He is one of the best family docs I have ever had, best in coachella valley for sure. and THE best office.

I really like Dr. Arian as my family doctor. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Arian and his staff have been very good to me and take excellent care of me every time I visit them. I am very happy to be their patient because good doctors are hard to find. Dr. Arian is truly one of the best.....kind, considerate, and very helpful.....Thank you so much to you and your staff!

This is a special doctor and I can recommend him without any hesitation to any person looking for a doctor who goes against the grain and is determined to do it the way it should be done, NOT THE WAY THE GOVERNMENT AND INSURANCE COMPANIES WANT IT DONE. Doctor Arian gives first class personalized care in his inimitable style, is on time, not rushed, addresses all concerns no matter how far fetched or simple, and gives complete explanations for why he is ordering and doing what he wants to do, and is very clever at saving me money. They just don't make them like this anymore. You go Dr. A. !!!

I recently found Dr. Arian on my insurance list and have had a few visits with him and couldnt be happier. He is very thorough and attacks every problem on my list. He has been very good diagnostically and has uncovered a lot of things other docs missed or ignored. I have a very complex set of problems and he dissects the problems apart, then seems to somehow bring them all together into a comprehensive plan and he makes it look easy. I am very pleased with his care, office and staff. I do recommend him and that is rare for me to say something nice about a doctor.

Don't know how he does it, but this is medical care like it was delivered 50 years ago. Prompt, caring, comprehensive care, careful and complete explanations of treatments and options. Doctor never feels rushed. Cannot recommend Dr. Arian highly enough!

I REALLY LIKE THIS DOCTOR AND HIS OFFICE. I HAVE NEVER FOUND ANY BETTER AND I HAVE TRIED BELIEVE ME.

I have been a patient of Dr. Arian since he was a resident in Bakersfield about 10 or 12 years now. I saw him first in the ER there. Later he went into family medicine and I looked him up and have stayed with him ever since. I was thrilled when I found out he moved to Palm Springs. He has never let me down. Is my most trusted ally and has taken good care of everyone that I have referred to him. His new practice is even better than the last. Plenty of time to ask all my questions, lots of time with me, no waiting time, very cost conscious, best staff ever. I give anyone my absolute best recommendation on him and his staff. Thanks Dr. Frank !

Dr. Arian is a very good doctor. He takes time with his patients and office staff is really professional.

Best doctor I have ever had, and I have had many. He takes time and cares about his patients.

My dad went a see a Doctor after being diagnose with pneumonia after a week from seing the doctor my dad did not improve at all. Dr. Arian was highly recommended by a co-worker. I call his office and we schedule an appoinment for a same day visit. There was no wait, Dr. Arian saw my dad within 5 minutes from checkin in. Dr. Arian check my dad and right away they gave him a treatment. My dad doesn't speak english very well, but Dr. Arian explain to him in spanish the process and give us a good explanation of what to expect in the next couple of day and if not better to call him right away. I'm very thankfull with Dr. Arian he took the time to explain the treatment and the diagnosis in a way that my dad could understand his diagnosis. Dr. Arian office call to follow up and see how my dad was doing. Dr. Arian also schedule a follow up appointment to examine by dad again to see how he was doing. Thank you Dr. Arian, there are few Dr.'s like Dr. Arian.

my family found doctor arian a few years ago while at his other location. we have been with him ever since. he is honest, kind, hardworking, friendly and really cares about me and my family. he is a good doctor and if he doesnt know the answer will find someone who does. he is usually right though. i like his new practice better. it is small. he spends a ton of time with us. his staff is the best. followup is quick. he has good consultants too. we have no complaints and are really happy to have found him and are glad he reopened again. the post before us is ridiculous. you WANT your doctor to see 40 patients a day and still give you all that time and not bill for it? do all us grateful patients and our doctor a favor and go away.

Yes, this man is a great doctor but unethical and fradulent. I always get an hour when I see Dr. Arian, but he also bills my insurance company (Medicare) and AARP for that hour. We as consumers MUST report fraudulent healthcare providers. He sits there and talks to me about his personal life versus taking care of my health issues on my dime. Thus, I have reported him to Medicare and AARP. They both are have told me they will be doing an investigation of all claims submitted by him over the years. Always be leary when a doctor wants to only see a small number of patients per day. They are either overbilling or falsify their claims to the insurance companies. Most Family Practice Physicians see 30 to 40 patients per day if not more. Ask his next door neighbor, Dr. Doherty.

I continue to be a primary care patient of Doctor Frank Arian and his great staff Josefina and Mayra. I could go on and on about why I think they are the best. Bottom line Dr. A tries to save me money by not wasting unnecessary labs and studies, is a great listener, has a great sense of humor, I can talk to him about anything and not feel like he is judging me, i never wait for him, they are very efficient with my orders and prescriptions, follow up is superb, location is great, and the office is kept quiet. He doesnt stack patient upon patient so theres no sitting with coughing hacking swarms of sick patients. He even gave me his cell phone number. Now thats a family doc I tell ya. I cant recommend him and his staff more highly. Thanks for all you guys do.

awesome office, staff is cool, doc is cool. pretty much no wait time. every option given, i'll keep going back

I feel privileged to have discovered Dr. Frank Arian when I was in need of immediate care several years ago. From the very first visit, his attentiveness and compassion proved far superior to other primary care physicians employed in the past. It was not long after that first visit that I switched over to Dr. Arian from my previous PC doc, and I have never looked back. Among his many qualities as both a health provider and an individual, are his openness and his willingness to go to any lengths necessary to ensure optimum care. He never pretends to knowledge, but instead researches the condition or sends patients to the appropriate specialist. In short, he'd rather his PATIENTS 'feel good' than that HE 'look good.' I would recommend Dr. Arian to anyone who desires prompt, courteous medical attention offered with sensitivity and a commitment to the standards and ethics once regularly employed by family doctors, and today practiced byfew. Fortunately, Dr. Arian is one of the few.

i was treated kindly and professionally and it was the best visit i have had in a doctors office. very nice people, good doctor, no waiting, spotless office, good parking, good location, inexpensive for one hour with MD. thank you Dr. Arian

Dr. Arian has a great staff and is the nicest person. He spent a whole hour with me sorting out all my problems. He is a good listener and is very patient. He asked me three times if I had any other questions or problems that needed to be addressed. He was right on with his diagnosis. I did not wait longer than a minute. He was also right on time for my appointment. I have never been to a better doctor or a better run office. I highly recommend this office and doctor!

If you are looking for the best, give Dr. Arian a try. A simple office visit will illustrate the high level of professionalism that is lacking in many other offices around the desert.

My whole family goes to see dr. arian his staff and himself are wonderful. He saved my dads life and spends the time with my dad that my dad needs to understand his diagnosis. I was called constantly fom Dr. Arian concerned about my ailments and feel he saved my life by sending me to the hospital on a saturday. Dr. Arian has been a god sent for my family and I. I will dispute this to anyone who feels differently about Dr.Arian or his front staff.

Dr Arian is the greatest!!. He is very easy to talk to about anything and he's a doctor that actually follows thru with referrals,lab results ect. He doesn't rush you and always has time for any questions that you might have. He is very competent and knows his stuff. I would reccomend him to anyone.

It was not apropriate to be so obused,not feeling well,left without your usual medications,with no where to go. The sad prt ,the endless demand for extra Momey. Havent seen him in ayear.My Health has improved.His staff is viscious and mistreats a Senior. Edy Williams

What a find this doctor is !!! I have had my first few visits with him and I could not be more impressed. There is zero wait time in his clinic. He is actually waiting at the desk for me when I walk in and we go directly into a room. Small office but packed with equipment. Like a mini ER. He is kind and amiable as can be. Speaks very clearly and is easy to understand. Uses a lot of common analogies to explain what he calls the "pathophysiology" of my problems. Reminds me a little bit of a cross between Danny Devito and Columbo that TV detective all those years ago. I was so stunned by something he said I wrote it down verbatim. He said, "You are the boss. I work for you". What a breath of fresh air. Finally a doc that gets it. Its all about service. They even answer the phone "How can I provide you excellent service". wow. I couldnt be happier with my choice. He explained its like a concierge practice without the thousand dollar sign up fees. Finally a doctors office run so tight it squeeks. Im finally home. Some tough office policies though like no late patients and a 50.00 no show fee but hey he's gotta eat too. None are unreasonable. Top flight recommendation here. Im one appreciative and lucky patient. Thank you.

This is the only Doctor that actually keeps your appointment to the time it was set for, no waiting for 2 hours. He is the best!!!!You rock Dr. Arian.Jill (:

a couple of years ago, i had a mystery illness. i couldnt see my regular physician. he is a very busy doctor. dr arians walk in clinic was very near my home, so i went to see him. i had a high fever, severe dehydration, and fatigue. the staff and the doctor were very paitent with me, they listened to what was happening with me and did an exelent job in keeping me calm. after running several tests, dr arian found my urine to have a problem. he called my regular doc and told him how sick i was. with one professional to another they determined my next step. it turned out that i have a disease called multiple myeloma (plasma cell cancer). if not for dr arian and his insistance and persistance, i fear i, well, lets put it this way. when i get the chance to introduce him to someone, i say "here is the man that saved my life." i was unable to pay up front for the 5 or 6 times he saw me, and was gracious enough to let me make payments to him. i consider him a true professional. the paitent comes first. he has great bedside manner, and best of all, absolutly NO god complex. i feel very fortunate to be alive.

Dr. Arian has been my personal physician for three years. I have a very complicated set of medical issues. He takes the time to get to know details and the full set of circumstances surrounding my conditions, researches alternatives and even follows up (like calling me on Saturday) to share results and suggestions from that work. I have never once (in nine states and four countries) experienced as competent, thorough, intelligent and results-oriented care from a medical professional.

I really appreciate Dr. Arian's knowledge, professionalism and level of service. His staff is both professional and courteous. Also, his willingness to take the time to explain things thoroughly is a major that I admire. I am very pleased that he is my primary care physician.

I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Immaculate office and very interesting.

Dr. Arian provided both my daughter and myself with the most professional care we have ever enjoyed. Not only was his diagnosis quick and accurate, he also suggested over the counter alternatives to costly medication. Thank you for your excellent service Dr. Frank !

I HAVE NEVER FELT TAKING CARE OF UNTIL ME & MY FAMILY FOUND DR. ARIAN. HE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR WHAT I CONSIDER AN "EMERGENCY" FOR MY KIDS.I DON'T FEEL AS IF I'M BEING PUSHED OUT OF THE OFFICE. THERE ISN'T A QUESTION ABOUT MY HEALTH I CAN'T ASK... THAT'S HOW A DOCTOR SHOULD BE!THE WAITING AREA IS COMPFY, PLENTY TO READ AND THE OFFICE STAFF -PAST & PRESENT- IS SUPER FRIENDLY.I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM RECOMMENDING DR. ARIAN TO FAMILY & FRIENDS.

Dr. Arian is one of the best physcian's I've ever had the pleasure of using. While living in Palm Springs from 2005 to 2010, I had some symptons of something being wrong with me that we could not put a finger on. I had seen two other Doctors, but both said it was age and probably arthritis. We had lived in Pennsylvania, before moving to Palm Springs and with that information and blood tests, Dr Arian discovered that I had Lyme Disease. I was put onto a treatment and although I'll always have it, it could have been alot worse if Dr Arian had not found it when he did. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Arian is my family's primary care physician and I could not be happier with the level of service and professionalism from him and his staff. He recently treated my son for 2nd degree burns on his inner thigh, from groin to knee. He kept my son preoccupied telling him funny and interesting stories throughout the cleaning and dressing of his burns. I was so impressed and appreciative at his ability to keep my son (and me) calm during this very painful procedure. Dr. Arian is forthright and kind, thoughtful and conscientious, smart and funny. And, by the way, my son's leg healed beautifully!

Victory Physicians went out of business in May 2010 at 1199 North Indian Canyon Dr as listed on this listing. The doctor reopened his doors in September, 2010 at a new location. When you go to his new office watch out he sits and talks with you about his problems with the practice, bills and himself. He then bills your insurance for the time he spent talking to not the time he was providing you medical help. His office and staff were much better when he was on North Indian Canyon. Now they don`t care about anything but making money to keep the doors open. Dr. Arian is the same way and worst than his staff. After my office visit in November 2010, I will never return to his office because of the his billing, him pushing me to start medical marijuana, and the uncaring attitude of the doctor himself. When he talks about you starting medical marijuana he even tells you he smokes it at home. Can a Physician legally smoke marijuanaThis type of doctor should not be in practice. He should be working in laboratory all by himself so he can not do harm to others.

Problem - Doctor is NOT associated with Desert Regional Medical Center or Eisenhower Medical Center as the Blue Cross Insurance website states. Plus, please read the following about my last appointment with the doctor.Victory Physicians went out of business in May 2010. The doctor reopened his doors in September, 2010 at a new location. Beware is no longer located at 1199 North Indian Canyon. When you go to his new office watch out he sits and talks with you about his personal problems with the practice and bills your insurance for the time he spent talking to you. Appears to be almost fraud. His office and staff were much better when he was on North Indian Canyon. Now they don't care about anything but making money to keep the doors open. Dr. Arian is the same way. After my office visit in November 2010 at the new location, I will never return to his office because of the his billing my insurance for an hours worth of service when he only did 10 minutes of actual medical treatment, him pushing me to start medical marijuana, (he even said he smokes it at home and it relaxes him), and the uncaring attitude of the doctor himself. This type of doctor should not be in practice with patients. He should be working in laboratory all by himself as a lab rat smoking his marijuana. Doesn't the medical board randomly test Physicians for illegal drug use? If not, they should test him.

Caring, knowlegeable and kind. Dr. Arian is a physician I could keep for life.

The focus with Dr. Arian is you, no symptom is too small to disclose, no questions too mundane to go unasked. He makes sure you understand your diagnosis, your treatment plan, and that your medications aren't going to break the bank or be ineffective. He really cares.

Had my first appointment at Victory Physicians (Dr. Arian) and I will definitely return. I finally found my primary care physician. If you like the idea of turning back the clock and having a Dr. with a fabulous bed side manner, then you will love Dr. Arian. His staff is wonderful, from the front office back to the lab. No running around to get diagnostic testing because he has everything right there. He gets an A rating from this patient!

Once you select Dr. Arian as your primary care physician, not only are you seeing a highly qualified and professional doctor, you are gaining a loyal, compassionate and genuinely caring man. Dr. Arian's staff follows in his footsteps. They've gained my confidence and trust.
