Reviews of Dr. Grin in Torrance , CA

Nanci Lewis (On Google and Yelp) https://plus.google.com/105263790691327543110/about I went to Dr. Grin for an ongoing jaw issue I've had for a long time. He painstakingly examined me and carefully fit me with a new device for my sleep apnea. He always kept sight of my jaw issue. He is very thorough and leaves no stone unturned. He takes a lot of time to explain what he's doing and how things work so I understand. His staff is very friendly and efficient. I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for my appointments. I wish all doctor's offices were this way. I highly recommend him if you have any issues with sleeping or your jaw.

I came to Dr. Grin with severe jaw pain and he diagnosed sleep apnea and has worked with me until I am now pain free and have undisturbed sleep. He and his staff use cutting edge technologies and old fashioned hospitality. They are always professional and I feel cared for and remembered from one visit until the next. I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Grin is a doctor who is in it for the right reason: to help people. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. He carefully listened to me when I was explaining my extensive health history. I felt like we were partners in my healthcare. The course of treatment he has provided is already making me feel much better. His office staff are amazing! I have never had better service and care at any doctor in my long life. I highly recommend Dr. Grin. Plain and simple, he's the best orofacial pain expert in Southern California. If you have TMD and want to get better.....see Dr. Grin.

I have been seeing a number of specialist because I have been suffering from chronic pain. The only one who really helped me was Dr. Grin. He is truly a great doctor. Thank you very much, Dr. Grin.

Dr. Grin has been monumental in helping me treat my TMJ disorder. I initially thought I would need to get surgery done on my TMJ but he has taken a more conservative approach, which has lowered risks that come with surgery and made costs a lot less. Overall, he's very meticulous with his work and will do everything to ensure you are being well serviced. He not only has given me advice with my TMJ issue but with overall general health help. He's more than just a specialist - he's an overall competent doctor. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

So far the pain has decreased and I am looking forward to trying out the appliance for my sleep disorder. His explanation for TMJ was easy to understand the guards and exercises have really helped me I would definitely recommend Dr. Grin

After years of hearing doctors tell me that there is nothing more they can do for my TMJ/face/head/neck pain except prescribe me pain medication, I gave up trying to look for anyone who can help me. I resorted to waiting until my joint degenerated severely enough that I'd have no choice but to get replacement surgery. I thought, maybe then I can get some relief and my quality of life can improve. I moved up to Hawthorne for graduate school in January and it has been a stressful time. As many TMD sufferers may know, stress is a big contributor to increasing the level of pain associated with TMD, so I became painfully desperate enough to start my search again for a doctor that may be able to help, since pain and the demands of grad school don't mix. That's when I found Dr. Paul Grin. Dr. Grin is competent, knowledgeable, and well-versed on the latest research studies and most effective treatment methods of his specialty. He practices active listening and makes an effort to get to know me holistically, so that every aspect of my life is taken into account when it comes to the treatments he recommends. What I also love about Dr. Grin is that he does not treat me as an object to be fixed. Rather, he partners up with me to ensure my effective recovery. Unlike many doctors I have come across, Dr. Grin also respects his client's time. If a client has an appointment from 9AM to 10AM for example, Dr. Grin will see them from 9AM to 10AM--on time, every time. I am also beyond impressed with Dr. Grin's staff, Blanca and Raquel, who, like Dr. Grin, are warm, passionate, and friendly. From the very first time I called the office, Blanca went out of her way to wrestle with my insurance regarding the coverage that I am guaranteed. I am under my mom's insurance and my mom pays extra for my "out-of-network" coverage. However, my insurance recently tried to bill me saying I don't have "out-of-network" coverage. Blanca, again, had my back and set them straight and even called me to tell me not to worry. I am pretty bitter and don't trust many practitioners due to my years of dealing with jaded doctors. However, Dr. Grin and his staff have not only restored my faith that passionate and caring professionals do exist, they've also restored my hope of living my life free of pain. I rarely, if ever, write reviews. But my quality of life has improved. After only three visits, my degree of pain has already decreased substantially. Therefore, I felt compelled to write this review, in hopes that others who are feeling helpless or depressed or even angry about the chronic pain that they have will find their way to Dr. Grin and find hope again.

Norma V. (Spanish English translation) My medical experience with Dr. Grin regarding my jaw pain and migraines is extraordinarily satisfactory. After nearly 10 years with such pain, today I feel happy to wake up and to sleep without it. God bless your profession Dr. so that you may continue to heal many more people. Thank you very much. Norma V.

I went to see Dr. Grin because I was experiencing lack of energy and being tired during the afternoon. He suspected that I might have a sleep apnea. I don't snore, but as I was told is one of the most common issues that is disregarded and we live our life with this issue that today can so easily resolved. After going through a very simple test I was confirmed to have a sleep apnea issues. I didn't know that something so minor can affect your life so severely. Dr. Grin prepared for me a simple device that I wear at night that changed my life. I no longer experience any tiredness and I feel more energetic during the day and most importantly without taking any medicine for a change. Thank you Dr. Grin Rodolfo A

Dr. Bahareh Safaie Dr Grin is one of the most kind and highly knowledgeable instructors who teaches at the Orofacial pain & dental sleep medicine at UCLA! As a general dentist and current resident working under his direct guidance at UCLA’s graduate orofacial pain program, where he teaches and serves as the program's clinic director, I can accurately attest to Dr Grin being truly one-of-a-kind in all aspects of his character; possessing the combination of being both a genuinely caring, kind-hearted person, alongside having such a vast degree of knowledge in his field, makes him truly unparalleled to say the least. I have had the great privilege of working under Dr Grin's direction for the past year, and I still look forward to each and every meeting. I am always learning something new, and have acquired such a great deal from him already. It is truly such an honor to be working with Dr Grin. He always goes above and beyond for his students, as well as for his patients, and I would refer my closest friends and family to Dr Grin without hesitation. - See more at: http://bestlocalreviews.com/single/254543#sthash.uwPfFXMJ.dpuf

When two previous dentists were unable to help me, Dr. Grin diagnosed the problem and quickly got things going to healing mode.

After I was unable to find any relief for burning tongue syndrome, I was ultimately referred to Dr. Paul Grin through UCLA. Dr. Grin's treatment regimen immediately relieved the burning, and he has been carefully monitoring me for over 1 year. I am happy to travel from Woodland Hills to see him. While his treatment has been very effective, his calm demeanor and willingness to sit with me to discuss the issues surrounding my syndrome, have also been truly helpful. I feel he cares about me as a patient and as a person, and has made excellent recommendations for self-help therapy, as well. He has a wonderful staff who are very friendly, polite and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Grin.

When I first met Dr. Grin I was pleasantly surprised by how caring and truly concerned he seemed about my grinding pain. He is a great listener and I was not rushed in and out like so many Doctors do. I think he is one of the best in his field.

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!
