Reviews of Dr. Grin in Torrance , CA

Dr. Grin saved me from debilitating pain that was impacting every area of my life. I had all but given up after numerous failed and expensive treatments. I would highly recommend Dr. Grin!

Dr.Grin has helped me with my TMJ tremendously since I began treating with him. The medications, exercises, appliances, and care that Dr.Grin has administered have greatly improved my quality of life, relieved pain, and increased comfort in my jaw. Also, the staff at Dr.Grin's office is very kind! A visit to Dr.Grin's office always brightens my day!

I believe that Dr. Grin takes a personal interest in his patients and takes the necessary time to understand their issues. He continuously puts patient care as his top priority, even sacrificing his spare time to do so. He is a true medical professional.

From the moment I contacted the office I was treated with respect. The staff is professional, friendly, helpful and courteous. Dr. Grin is the best! He is professional, he takes his time to explain, he is extremely knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. He is alway very present and answers my questions. He explains everything in a way that I can understand, even when I ask the same question more than once. He has a state-of-the-art x-ray machine that produces amazing images! He used these images when he explained to me how my jaw is supposed to work. It was fascinating and educational. On the first visit, after some questions and an exam, he knew what my problem was and my road to healing began. I am still on the road, but I no longer have pain. And I am not stressed out wondering what is wrong with me!

When I met Dr. Grinn, my jaw was so painful that I couldn't open my mouth wide enough to eat a banana unless it was sliced. Another symptom was grinding my teeth while asleep and Dr. Grinn provided comfortable appliances to prevent this. Five months later, I am very happy to write that I am pain free and can open my mouth as wide as I please.

Being a dental student and a patient of Dr. Grin's has given me the opportunity to see both sides of the fence. In terms of medical theory and teaching abilities, he is unparalleled. I am always in awe of his wealth of knowledge and how freely he chooses to give it away, the way medicine was meant to be. His meticulous examinations and chair side manner are that of a different era. You will feel so comfortable and wonder if you are really being treated, or just enjoying an afternoon conversation. Dr. Grin made a night guard to help manage my night time grinding and clinching while also providing me with certain stretches for my masticatory muscles. I have been pain free while under the care of Dr. Grin. I am so happy that I found someone like him. Thank you Dr. Grin!!

After suffering from migraines for years to such an extent that I could not tolerate even dim lighting and after seeing a number of specialists who regularly charged me and my insurance company for multiple visits and procedures but never satisfied my health needs, I finally found a doctor who was very different from all those I had seen before. First of all, what I like about Dr. P. Grin is the fact that he is thinking doctor. He is a meticulous specialist with vast knowledge in various medical fields and has long and invaluable experience in dealing with different conditions. Dr. Paul Grin is not guided by a standard treatment scheme but makes sure that each patient gets an individual approach in accordance with individual symptoms. Just after the first two weeks, I felt significant improvement of my condition. My problem has not disappeared, but on a scale of 10, it moved down from 10 to 3, and I can function now as a regular person. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep thankfulness to Dr. Grin for saving my sister’s life who complained about headaches and visited several specialists before I referred her to Dr. Grin. During the first appointment, he suspected that she had a brain tumor. The following tests and MRI confirmed his diagnosis. My sister’s surgery is a successful story only because of Dr. Grin’s timely intervention.

My wife has been suffering from a condition called "burning tongue". We have been to numerous doctors looking for a cure. Most doctors never even heard of it. Our dentist mentioned Dr Grin that he may know how to treat this problem. My wife has been seeing Dr Grin for a couple of months now. Although he made it clear that burning tongue is controllable but curable. Although Dr Grin is technically a Docter of Dental Surgery, his medical knowledge is equal to or surpass some medical doctors. He treats your office visit as though you are his only patient. He calmly ask you questions and documents your answers in your file. He has a low key, calming approach in treating patients. Does anybody experience burning tongue or know of a cure?

Dr. Grin is able to take a complex and difficult subject and explain it simply, susinctly, and with humor. I look forward to his next presentation on orofacial pain.

Hello! My name is Sherri Vance and I want to let the world know how much Dr. Paul Grin and his staff helped me through a very difficult period in my life. My jaw began locking up and I was left with a greatly diminished range of motion. It left me unable to open my mouth sufficiently for speaking and eating. I couldn't even yawn properly. I had been ill advised by my dentist to be fitted for and sleep with a $350 mouth guard without diagnosing the cause of my problem. She said that she uses them for screening. Insurance does not cover that. When I showed it to Dr. Grin, he said it was like going to the emergency room with a broken leg and being given a cane. Dr. Grin has a Cone Beam CT Scan which is the Cadillac of CT Scans. It is used as a diagnostic tool to rule out oral pathologies. The radiologist report of my scan to Dr. Grin lead him to treat my condition with an injection: Arthrocentis. My medical insurance company had authorized numerous visits to Dr. Grinn, but after one injection, I was fine and I still am. He did tell me that freezing up might return and that I might need further injections, but I have not and it has been over a year now with no recurrance. I am more than satisfied with the care I got from Dr. Paul Grin, DDS, MPH, APC at the South Bay Headache, TMJ & Orofacial Pain Institute at 4305 Torrance Blvd., Ste. 505 in Torrance, CA 90503, 310.933.3077
