Dr. Grin is an absolute delight! I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea recently after years of having terrible sleep and having it majorly impact my day-to-day. I didn't want to get a C-PAP machine and went to Dr. Grin for relief. He fitted me with a mouth appliance that is incredibly easy to use and it has had a noticeable impact on my ability to sleep properly and feel better the next day. It is still a work in progress, as I'm still in the early days of using the appliance, but I'm incredibly thankful to Dr. Grin for his work and his help in getting me better sleep. Thank you!

Hello Dear Dr. Grin and each of your Wonderful Staff, Thank you for a most productive appointment yesterday. I’m ten years healthier. Mike and I appreciate your expert medical care and kindness more and more. You live your high standards to the ultimate: “We recognize that each patient is an individual and our main objective to improve patients’ quality of life by delivering outstanding patient care one patient at a time.” “We strive to be thorough in everything we do, taking the time to be the best we can be.” Thank you with all our heart.

Driving home all we talked about was how lucky we are to have met you. We feel so hopeful and happy that we are your patients. Wow! Are we fortunate. “TMJ”: “Felix culpa:” Who would have thought a painful jaw would plant us directly in a plethora of blessings.

Dr. Grin is amazing. Luckily a good friend suggested I see him when I told her I was having difficulty chewing and opening my mouth. The care I receive from Doctor Grin is excellent. He is professional and an expert in his field. He is compassionate , listens to my concerns, and provided a treatment plan that is addressing my diagnosis. His office is very clear about insurance coverage and state any costs not covered by Medicare upfront. There are no surprises. Appointments are always on time and his staff is not only efficient but kind and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Grin.

My mother was experiencing excruciating facial pain, after taking her to several different specialists we were finally referred to Dr. Grin. Right away we were treated like family by all in the office. At the initial exam Dr. Grin diagnosed her with trigeminal neuralgia and prescribed the right medication right away to alleviate the pain! He has been successfully managing her pain for over a year now, we could not be happier.

Recommanded by my primary doctor for my sleep apnea, I just wanted to tell you how grateful I’am for not only the impressive detailed work his wonderful team provides, but Doctor Grin brought back such excellent results I was not expecting! More than worth every Pennie’s spent! And after fighting this Desease so may years I thought to be condemned to a CPAP, Doctor Grin was so instrumental (even in the first few days of this new treatment) to diminish my sleep apnea at least by half of what I was experiencing prior! His support team is also the reflection of his professionalism, attentiveness, knowledge and concerns to each patient coming in! Everybody is so accommodating and helpful I cannot thank you all for what you have brought up to my new beginning! Thank you again Dr. Grin! JCP

Dr. Paul Grin is amazing! I have been seeing him for my trigeminal neurologia. He is extremely knowledgeable about this illness. He immediately focused on my pain and symptoms. He carefully listened to me and treated me with respect. Through his excellent care and treatment, my excruciating, constant pain has been reduced to no pain. I am so happy that I found him! His staff is extremely friendly and helpful too. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Grin!

Life changing! Dr. Grin has greatly improved my health, and my husband is finally getting decent sleep, after putting up with my snoring for decades. I initially came in for help with teeth grinding, did a sleep study (super easy- more on this later) and discovered I had "severe" sleep apnea. I stopped breathing for 10 seconds or more, 37 times an hour! I had no idea! I just knew that I woke my husband up with my snoring and teeth grinding. After receiving the oral appliance (imagine an upper and lower retainer that are attached- the idea is to gently move your lower jaw forward while sleeping) my snoring stopped completely! NO MORE SNORING!!! None!!! I went from "severe" sleep apnea- breathing stopping 34 times per hour- to 4 times an hour. The device is easy to use, not painful, small- so it's easy to travel with it, and doesn't make any noise. It's so simple. It truly is going to put an end to the annoying C-pap. It's a miracle device. The sleep study is super easy: it's done from your own home; the set up is simple- just a small, lightweight monitor around the chest, another around the belly button, a little oxygen tube under the nose, and a monitor around the pointer finger. Just push a button, and it's on. When you wake up, just take everything off. Not at all complicated. And Dr. Grin's assistants will go through everything with you, and make sure you understand and are comfortable. There's truly no reason not to give Dr. Grin a try. He's experienced, professional, and kind. The office staff is welcoming, they run it efficiently, and there's never a wait. The sleep study is done from your own home. The device will change your life, your health, and the quality of sleep for the person you share a bed with. These are truly good people who know what they're doing. Let them help you. I'm absolutely stunned by the improvement, and how simple it was.

When I was referred to Dr. Grin's office, I was experiencing migraines which I thought were due to a hip imbalance. After the efficient exam and encouragement from the caring staff, I underwent CT scans. Turns out my migraines were due an abnormality in my jaw function, which I'd never figure. The migraines started 15 years ago so I am beyond grateful for the quick diagnosis and immediate relief! The staff was exceptional(!) and Dr. Eric Grin answered all my questions with thoroughness and respect. Thank you so much!! Happy New Year!

Dr. Eric Grin and his staff are the most professional and caring medical staff I have encountered in many years. I was unaware of the kinds of services they provide. They worked with me to help with a very painful episode when my Jaw (due to my TMJ), popped out of place and would not get back in place for nearly a year. They advised me to get a mouthguard that was made especially for me. It is a shame that the services they provide are not well known and that Insurance companies do not cover some of these essential services, which help cure people who suffer from facial pain, headaches, and sleep issues. I am forever grateful for their interventions and procedures.

Dr. Grin and his staff are very nice and professional. They helped me with my TMJ issues and also with my sleep apnea. I could not use my CPAP machine because it was so uncomfortable for me. I love my new custom mouth piece for sleep apnea that Dr. Grin had made for me! It is so much better than CPAP and I am finally able to get a good night's sleep! I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his staff!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Grin and his practice. It is rare to encounter such compassionate care. Dr. Grin listened carefully, conducted thorough tests, and provided successful treatment for an issue I had struggled with for years — and that other experts had told me could not be fixed. All staff members are not only very efficient and highly competent, but also extremely kind. I truly appreciate the wonderful care I received, the result of which is that I no longer have to live with discomfort on a daily basis. My visits never felt rushed. Everything is A+++. I highly recommend this practice. An unsurpassed experience.

Dr Grin and his entire staff are professional and so genuine in their caring service. Smiles, greetings and the perfect amount of detailed information was followed by state of the art scanning and mold impressioning to assist in alleviating my TMJ condition. Long term care was addressed and prescribed treatment was designed especially for me. I recommend Dr Grim to all needing expertise at solving persistent jaw/facial discomfort. Pamela O

Dr. Grin and staff were a breath of fresh air. They understood Trigeminal neuralgia. The pain from this condition would flare mostly after visits to the dentist. I could not get relief from this condition for many years and eventually stopped going to the dentist. This eventually lead to necessary intense dental work. I was very hopeful when first visiting Dr. Grin's office and after a few tests, a plan was developed. I spent the entire summer dealing with these dental issues and experienced NO pain. I am very thankful for Dr Grin and his staff. They make you feel welcome and their responsiveness and follow through is immediate. Thank you Dr Grin for fixing a condition I thought for years could not be fixed.

I had a great experience going to Dr. Grin for my newly diagnosed TMJ. I visited his office after a visit to the ER as I didn't know what the pain was and It was unbearable. When I went to see him, my pain was debilitating and awful. Dr. Grin and his staff were very kind, did a comprehensive exam on me, and prescribed a treatment for me to start feeling better. Within days my pain started to go away. The office staff is very friendly and responsive which is unusual these days. I highly recommend Dr. Grin if you suspect you're suffering from TMJ. No need to wait and suffer with pain.

Dr. Paul Grin is an amazing doctor! We were referred to him by my son’s dentist because he heard clicking coming from my son’s jaw and then one day his jaw locked up. Dr. Grin found out that my son has arthritis in his jaw. My son was extremely anxious after the diagnosis, however Dr. Grin put all of our anxieties to rest. He explained everything so thoroughly and addressed all of our questions and concerns. We’ve never felt rushed during any of my son’s appointments and the care and treatment that my son has received has significantly improved his condition. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Grin and his wonderful and friendly staff. Thank you so much!

Dr Grin's PRP procedure cured my TMJ and got me out of pain. I have had PRP injections several times before in my knees and shoulder. They had no real noticeable effect. The PRP procedure at Dr Grin's office was different. My bite returned to normal in the following few days. And my pain was gone. I had a subsequent CT scan a year after the procedure, and there was noticeable regrowth of the tissue. I was honestly surprised and didn't expect much from the procedure. More people should know about this treatment option, as it absolutely worked for me. Dr Grin and his entire staff have always been extremely professional and courteous. My entire experience with them has been nothing but positive.

This office was a game changer. I was being bounced around from doctor to doctor and was having difficulty getting an appropriate diagnosis, for over a year, before I met Dr. Paul Grin. His intake process was very thorough and my concerns were taken seriously. The staff and medical team treated me with respect and the overall level of care has been astounding. I live an hour away and am more than happy to make the trip. I highly recommend this doctor.

I actually saw Eric Grin DDS, the son of Paul Grin and part of the practice. I was very impressed with his knowledge of TMJ issues and the very thorough examination and interview regarding my pain and my overall health. He listened to me and took everything into account. He recommended a CT scan which they were able to do right in the office. They warned me that my medical insurance might not pay for it, but it turns out insurance covered half of it. The result was that I actually have arthritis in my jaw joint, something difficult to diagnose without a scan. He gave me medication to reduce the inflammation of the arthritis and muscle relaxer for the tense jaw. It worked really well to almost eliminate the pain. I also paid out of pocket (submitted to insurance, so maybe they will cover part??) for expensive oral appliances to adjust the position of my bite to reduce pressure on my arthritic joint. Hopefully that will prevent the pain from coming back. Arthritis is not curable but at least now I can eat, and I will see how the long term solution (mouth guards) works to minimize pain going forward. Very pleased with the depth of knowledge and caring approach of Eric Grin. The staff is also outstanding!! Polite, friendly and efficient. Makes the whole experience actually pleasant!

I've had a TMJ problem for 40+ years. Several months ago I had a flareup of symptoms, including morning headaches, tension in my jaw, and clicking/knocking sounds when opening and closing my mouth. I was referred to Dr. Paul Grin, an orofacial dentist specializing in pain management and TMJ disorders. On my first visit, Dr. Grin took my medical and dental history, examined the dental work in my mouth, and took precise measurements of my bite before making the mold. That same day I had imaging of the TMJs in the comfort of his office to rule out arthritis, etc. Based on Dr. Grin's clinical findings and extensive experience treating TMJ patients, I had a custom bite plate made that is worn on the lower teeth during sleep to prevent clenching of the mouth and grinding of teeth that exacerbate TMJ symptoms. I've been wearing this appliance for several months, and last week had a followup visit with Dr. Grin to report my progress. I was happy to report that I no longer have morning headaches and the clicking/knocking sounds in my jaw are almost gone! I am very pleased with these results. In short, Dr. Paul Grin in Torrance is a thorough, kind, patient and knowledgeable practitioner with many years of experience treating TMJ disorders, etc. He took time during visits to answer my questions and concerns. In addition, Dr. Grin's support staff is superb -- caring, very helpful, friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Paul Grin and am pleased to give him a "five star" rating.

I have had only positive interactions with Dr. Grin and his office staff. My first interaction with the office was on the phone with Blanca. She explained their process to initially verify my insurance before my appointment was scheduled. She promptly called me back within a few hours to confirm my consultation visit would be covered. From the start, I was impressed with her efficiency and warm demeanor. Dr. Grin's demeanor is calm, patient & caring. He is thorough in explaining his diagnosis and treatment plan. I now have a diagnosis supported by CT scans and a treatment plan including custom-made oral appliances. I have an understanding of what causes my pain flare ups and now experience only minimal discomfort. I am very impressed by how the office is managed from scheduling my first and subsequent appointments to the thorough and detailed explanation of my treatment plan, medication schedule and cost of services. All of the office staff that I have encountered (Blanca, Elena, Ruth) are consistently professional, yet warm and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his office staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Grin for several years now. He takes the time to really get to know his patients and his staff are friendly and professional. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 4 years ago. Dr. Grin offered me options that other doctors would not even consider. He had a dental device custom made for me and gave me advice on losing weight. The device and the weight loss have enabled me to manage my sleep apnea. I highly recommend Dr. Grin.
