Dr Grin has helped me tremendously. I've been a patient since 2017 & I suffer terribly with TMJ. My jaw deviates to the left & since seeing Dr Grin he's made an appliance for me & immediately I had releif. Since then I've had no discomfort or pain. I was refferd to Dr Grin through UCLA and now I have a great specialist. Thank you Dr Grin

I'm finally getting a good nights sleep thanks to Dr. Grin and his amazing staff! Discovering I had sleep apnea made me realize that I had been having compromised sleep for most of my life. Dr. Grin fit me for a mandibular advancement device, but also took a more comprehensive look at all factors that were contributing to my poor sleep including medications I was taking and the restless leg syndrome I was experiencing. With gradual adjustments to my MAD, I am happy to report that my last sleep test showed that I was now getting enough oxygen throughout the night! Better nights bring better days! I'm really glad that I got to meet this great team.

I’m giving Dr. Grin and his team a 5-star rating! A friend recommended Dr Grin to me because I’ve been dealing with TMJ issues for years. From the moment I met Dr. Grin and his staff, I felt super comfortable. They took the time to thoroughly examine me and gave me a bunch of options for how to fix my problems. Four short months later, I feel amazing! I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his incredibly cheerful and professional team. They’re the best!

Dr Grin was and is an excellent clinician. His detailed and thoughtful approach to my cancer related condition provided a sense of pain relief that I have not felt in years. Furthermore my tinnitus improved dramatically as a result of Dr Grin’s treatment.

I have had nothing but perfect experiences at Dr Grin's office. Dr. Grin was able to diagnose a problem that I had been having and seen several doctors about but with no results. Now, I can eat without discomfort or pain. His staff is wonderful, very knowledgeable, thorough and responsive. I appreciate each and every one of them.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Eric Grin's for 2 years now. I was referred to him by my dentist after suffering from excruciating pain in my jaw off and on for the past 20 years. Dr. Grin provided a thorough examination of my TMJ's, including a CT Scan. My jaw pain had been brushed off by many doctors and dentists throughout the years and Dr. Grin was the first to take my pain seriously. I received a diagnosis of osteoarthritis in both TMJ's and a treatment plan that worked well for me. In the past two years, I have been virtually pain free and I am showing evidence of healing in my right TMJ and stabilization on the left. I was adamant about not having to have surgery, and Dr. Grin listened to my concerns and developed a treatment plan that wouldn't require surgery. I am beyond happy with the treatment I received for my jaw and I highly recommend Dr. Grin to treat anyone with TMJ disorders.

God sent, is the words that I think about when I think about the service and care that I received from Eric Grin. Back in Feb. 2024 I developed pain in a tooth that I previous had two root canals on. I was still experiencing pain. The ultimate decision was to extract the tooth. This ultimately resulted in a constant excruciating pain on the teeth on my upper left side. I had difficulty talking, eating, drinking, and brushing my teeth. Over the five months, I sought a series of dental professionals for a solution to my problem with no avail. Finally, in July, I was referred to Dr. Grin who immediately diagnosed the problem as trigeminal neuralgia. Dr. Grim informed me the treatment protocol would be a trial and error of the best medication for me to take. Fortunately, by the third set of medications I am nearly pain free and expect to be totally pain free soon. I will forever be grateful for the kind care extended to me by Dr. Grin and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Paul Grin and his staff are very competent and caring. Dr. Grin worked with me to really alleviate my TMJ. He gently convinced me that a night guard would greatly help. I was resistant for years because I sleep so poorly in general. But he worked and worked over several visits to make sure it was comfortable and well fitting. When I explained that the guard fit differently when I was lying down vs sitting up, he adjusted the chair so I could lie down and test the adjusted fit.
After a year, my TMJ is so much better now. I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his staff.

If you’re looking for an option for treating sleep apnea, Dr. Grin has the solution. I chose to try an alternative less invasive method than a CPAP. I met with Dr. Grin and was fitted for a dental/oral device that you use while you sleep. To my amazement, my sleep apnea improved by about 90% in just 3 months. I’m now sleeping better and not awakening at night gasping for air. I am beyond satisfied and highly recommend Dr. Grin and his staff.

I was referred to Dr. Grin by my Dental office and the entire process, from booking to being treated, has been a really easy and comforting one. Dr. Grin's staff, as well as Dr Grin, are patient and informative. I had never seen a TMJ specialist before so wasn't sure what to expect, and I am so glad that I saw Dr. Grin for my care. My pain is already down by 50% and I look forward to continuing my care with his office as we manage my condition.

I had been struggling with two idiopathic conditions for several years: a burning sensation on my tongue and jaw pain. I'd visited multiple dentists, endodontists, a neurologist, and an otolaryngologist, and none of them had any answers. Then I met Dr. Grin. He listened to me without jumping to any conclusions. Once he had diagnosed the root cause of my conditions, he prescribed treatments that actually worked. This has been a game changer. I finally found a provider who properly diagnosed the conditions I was suffering from, which so many others had missed. I'm so grateful that I finally found a physician with Dr. Grin's unique expertise. He and his staff were so friendly, helpful, and efficient. I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough.

Friendly and very helpful staff. If you snore and don't like cpap or bipartisan machines, they offer an alternative mouthguard that is amazing! Thank you Dr Grin and staff!

Dr. Grin provided a treatment plan for my jaw clicking and pain that was very effective. It was a relief to know what the problem was and find someone who truly understood the problem and could provide a solution.
He explained the issue and process and was honest in the possible outcomes. It is very clear he is an expert in his field with years of experience. I feel fortunate to have been able to be treated by him. The office staff is also very professional, kind, knowledgeable and responsive.

I came to this place not knowing anything about what was wrong with my jaw. I left with my jaw being significantly better than it was when I walked in. Everyone here is so nice and extremely helpful in many different ways. All of my questions got answered and I felt safe in the hands of the people working here. I definitely recommend coming here if you can't find a place in network for jaw issues. It is a little pricey, but for the help they provide and the outcome it makes it worth it.

This was the only place to figure out my jaw pain and set me on the right treatment plan. I went through the PRP procedure and it was quick, simple, and painless. My jaw pain has subsided and they provided a long- term management plan such as diet, jaw exercises, and sleep appliances. The staff makes you feel comfortable and Dr. Grin is thorough in his diagnosis. He considers the whole person. Glad to have be referred here!

I Love Dr. Grin!! He is attentive; never rushes the appointment & is so thorough& professional. I thought that I had TMJ & Dr. Grin took so many mouth measurements to ascertain my issue. I have never experienced such thorough analysis. He has state of the art equipment all in his office. His assistant is both caring & very knowledgeable. From the moment you walk into the office you are greeted with smiles. I would highly recommend Dr. Grin

I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Eric Grin who has shown unparalleled kindness and expertise in his practice. During a recent emergency, Dr. Grin went above and beyond to help my family, treating us with the utmost care and compassion, as if we were part of his own family.
From the moment we reached out, his response was immediate and reassuring. He guided us through the emergency, providing thorough and clear explanations at every step. His professionalism and attention to detail was remarkable, but what truly stood out was the genuine warmth and empathy he showed us during this stressful time.
Dr. Grin not only resolved our emergency with exceptional skill but also made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. His practice is a perfect blend of eloquence and approachability, ensuring that every patient feels valued and cared for.

I went to see Dr. Grin because I had a very loud popping jaw, turns out my TMJ was showing signs of arthritis. Working with Dr. Grin on orthotic splint and PRP injection treatment, the popping went away and we even saw some healing. As with all TMJ treatment your mileage and costs will vary but there is no doubt that Dr. Grin is an expert in the field and will use his knowledge and experience to help you the best he can. Now if only more insurance companies would take TMJ issues more seriously...

Dr Grin and staff are excellent! I spent months getting bounced around my HMO network trying to find a specialist that could help with my extreme jaw pain. No one was able to even provide a suitable diagnosis.
Someone recommended I try Dr Grin and I'm very glad I did! He and his staff were extremely helpful and friendly. After one look at my imaging, he was able to patiently explain some detailed information on my condition no one else had been able to identify. Although my condition is serious and degenerative, he recommended a simple, non-surgical treatment that has me basically pain free after 6 months.
I highly recommend!

I had an extremely positive experience with Dr Grinn. He was thorough and professional in his diagnosis and treatment of my problem, which is now completely resolved. The office staff is friendly and welcoming and I was seen promptly on each visit. Dr Grinn provides a quality of care that is often lacking in today's medical world. I highly recommend him.

After going to other doctors for my TMJ pain, I found Dr. Paul Grin. He and his staff are wonderful! It's old school medicine at its best. They take their time with me, never in a rush. They answer all my questions. Most importanly after months of pain and failed treatments, they diagnosed the problem and prescribed a treatment that is working very well. My husband is a retired dentist, so his standards are very high. I would highly recommend this office to anyone with facial pain.

Dr Grin and his staff have been wonderful. I've had issues with snoring and tried the over-the-counter, online, snore mouthguards and they didn't help much and don't last for more than a year if you're lucky. Dr Grin did an MRI and made a custom mouth guard that can be adjusted in millimeters to allow your body to adjust, and has nearly eliminated my snoring. The custom mouth guard will also last 5+ years at least. My wife is much happier, and it's improved my sleep as well. Thanks Dr. Grin!

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!

We truly don’t know how to thank you enough. 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!

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.
