I have been seeing Dr. Paul Grin since the summer do to my jaw pain. The medication, therapy recommendations and the appliance that was made for me to wear in the day and night, have helped tremendously with the pain. I am able to sleep through the night without waking up every hour as I was before. The office staff is very welcoming and made be feel comfortable. They were also quick to respond to my questions, and I never had an issue scheduling an appointment that fit my busy schedule.

Dr. Eric Grin and his staff are incredibly efficient, polite and actually do as promised. I was suffering from lock jaw and could barely open my mouth and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Grin's staff worked hard to squeeze me to start my treatment. Dr. Grin was extremely thorough with finding out the cause and how to obtain some success with pain management, night guards and stress management. A few months later, I now can yawn again and actually take a bite out of a sandwich. Dr. Grin's staff is so friendly and professional. Best office ever and I am so thankful to Dr. Grin and his wonderful staff!!!

Dr. Grin is amazing. I was referred to him last year for intermittent "electrical shock" type pain. A thorough interview was done followed by CT scan and MRI. I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. I was prescribed Carbamezaphine which has been effective in blocking the intense pain episodes. I was also diagnosed with arthritis in my jaw which can cause more of a dull pain. I have extreme confidence in Dr. Grin's abilities. After doing my own research I saw so much about how this is the "suicide" disease due to the intensity of pain. Dr. Grin is always available to discuss my concerns and has eased my fears about the progression of this disease. Although he stressed everyone is different and their are no guarantees about what the future might hold for me, I know I have a highly qualified and knowledgeable professional in this journey.

Such a wonderful place as they work with you to help you heal rather than putting a band aid on the problem. It's been only a few short months and after seeing Dr G and his staff I am almost pain free. I always look forward to a visit to them and highly reccomend a visit if you're looking for help once and for all.

Dr. Grin and his team are wonderful! They explained everything thoroughly to me and provided a treatment plan applicable to my schedule.

I came to Dr. Grin with terrible jaw, head and face pain. Before seeing him I had gone to see ENTs, my primary care doctor and my dentist. After lots of tests and medications that didn’t solve the problem I was referred to Dr Grin and am so happy I was! He quickly identified that I had TMJ and arthritis of both jaw joints and put me on a protocol that works. I am so grateful to Dr. Grin and his team. Dr. Grin is not only clinically very skilled but his bedside manner and gentle way is very comforting and I feel confident and at ease under his care. I highly recommend Dr. Grin and have already referred friends to him and will continue to do so. Thank you!!

I was referred to Dr. Grin by my dentist after I began having worsening TMJ pain. The front staff and his assistant were very friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to get a CT scan in the office and had impressions done to make an appliance for me to wear at night. While I was waiting for the appliance to be made Dr. Grin gave me suggestions on how to ease my pain and what foods to eat/avoid. Dr. Grin throughly explained each step and made sure all of my questions were answered, I never felt rushed. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Grin and his staff.

After seeing a doctor who had no idea what the cause of my pain was,and was ready to cut into my face to find a problem, I was nervous about seeing Dr. Grin. He put me at ease right away with how professional he was. He was very knowledgeable on how the human body works and after consulting with his team was about to fix my problem in 13 days and a handful of pills. No surgery and no nonsense. A true professional in every sense of the word.

Dr. Paul Grin, Dr. Eric Grin and the office staff provided professional and caring service to me during my appointments. The attentiveness to my concerns about my health, and their responses have been top notch. All of my appointments have been 'on time' and without interruption. The support staff also submitted the professional service fees and appliance costs promptly to the insurance carrier. I appreciate everything they have done for me.

I was referred to Dr. Paul Grin from my dentist since I had jaw pain for a while & it was not getting any better. The staff is very friendly and on top of everything, and Dr Grin was always on time & never late. He was excellent in making sure I was ok every step. He would explain everything in detail and made sure I understood the process. He did not force me to do anything I was not comfortable with. It was a very smooth process and after going there for 1 year I have seen excellent results. I highly recommend Dr Grin.

I was experiencing many issues with sinus pressure and other unusual symptoms for months that I thought were from a sinus infection. After seeing many doctors and trying medications without resolution, I finally stumbled upon TMD as a possible cause of my issues. When I was able to see Dr. Grin, I was pleasantly surprised at the patience and attention to detail that he and his staff had as I went through my symptoms. Dr. Grin was able to determine the cause of my symptoms as being TMD-related and was able to find an orthotic treatment that has been helping greatly! I am thankful for Dr. Grin and would recommend to anyone who may even think they have TMD-related issues.

Dr. Grin is very transparent in explaining the process and next steps. He takes extra care to listen to the patient’s needs and concerns. Also, his staff (Ruth, Blanca, and Carmen) are friendly and great. They make sure any questions are answered and are quick to call back to follow up. I’m glad I was referred to Dr. Grin as I believe I’m receiving the best quality treatment for my medical needs.

Dr Grin and his staff are very professional. My long term untreated TMJ / arthritis in my jaw has cause my jaw to be out of line and Dr Grin has created a mouth guard that I wear at night that has helped tremendously and is helping to get my jaw back back in line.

I've been a patient of Dr. Grin's for several years. I started seeing him with jaw pain and was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the jaw. He was able to help me manage the pain with an oral appliance, easy exercises, and moist heat for many years. Last year, my jaw pain returned and a CAT-scan showed that my OA had progressed. I opted to try to the PRP (platelet-rich plasma) which was outpatient in Dr. Grin's office. While it was pricey and was not covered by insurance, I had great success with it. Nine months after the procedure, my most recent CAT scan showed that the OA progression had stopped. The bone had stabilized and is not causing me any issues. Dr. Grin is very kind and patient. He spends time explaining procedures and diagnoses. I highly recommend seeing him for jaw issues.

Dr. Grin and his staff are sincerely pleasant and helpful. His staff fully explained all the paperwork procedures and Dr. Grin took the time to explain every step of what he was going to do and what I could expect as a result of the procedure.
The whole experience was a pleasure, which is an odd thing to say about dental procedures.
I would highly recommend Dr. Grin and his practice.

Dr. Grin was a delight to work with from the very start. He understood my pain and took all of the necessary steps to help resolve my issues. Dr. Grin is an absolute expert, and was able to clearly explain why I was having such bad pain for so long. He is also always available to answer questions. His staff is also extremely professional and friendly. The appointments are always on-time and very efficient. When I had questions about my insurance/coverage his staff went above and beyond to look into my benefits and explain costs to me. I would 100% recommend Dr. Grin to others!

I had TMJ pain for well over a year. My dentist had made a night guard but the pain continued. I saw Dr. Grin and first off I was amazed with the care and service provided. He studied the information I sent and listened to what I had been going through. He has made two different appliances for me and my mouth and jaw feel so much better. The entire staff is kind and caring.

I was suffering from TMJ for a year before I booked my appt w/ Dr Grin. I could barely chew any food on my left side and was easily exhausted from eating meat or nuts because of the jaw pain.
When I arrived for my initial appt with Dr Grin, I was blown away by how much he KNEW ABOUT ME! He had studied my extensive paperwork and was organized and efficient during the session. He provided answers and took xrays which revealed that I had extensive arthritis of my left jaw. He then made me a mouth guard and provided me a small dose of a safe muscle relaxer.
Within one month of use, my jaw pain went from an 8 down to a 4 and steadily improved with using the mouth guard.
I returned after 3 months for a review and am happy to report that my pain is now gone!!! I am so grateful to this wonderful doctor and his kind and efficient staff. If you have TMJ, I highly recommend you make an appt with Dr Grin. My investment in his expertise has paid off in peace of mind and a pain free life!

For anyone who has gotten a bite guard/night guard for clenching or grinding their teeth from their dentist please consider an appointment with Dr. Grin, he made a device for my lower jaw, that is like a bit guard. It has reduced my neck and shoulder pain by half. His staff is very helpful also.

Great experience. The staff at the front desk are incredibly responsive and helpful. The wait time is never more than a couple minutes which is very rare and very appreciated these days. Dr Grin is very knowledgeable, professional and does what is best for the patient in the least invasive medical way. The nurses are fantastic, friendly and helpful. I would recommend this practice to anyone. Thank you

Great doctor and friendly staff as well. They've all been helpful with the process of dealing with my tmj. Dr. Paul Grin didn't brush off my symptoms like most doctors I've seen prior, and gives detailed yet understandable explanation to what was occurring with my joints along with what the steps I should take to finding a bit more relief in my day to day, and any questions I've had. Highly recommend.

I am soo grateful to Doctor Paul Grin, and his kind staff, he took very good care of the pain that I had in my right jaw. I could not even open my mouth, not eat well, because of the horrible pain when I tried to open my mouth. I will recommend going to see him if you have any problem with a painful jaw. He is very professional and dedicated doctor. Today I am soo happy with my no longer pain in the jaw. I can eat well again and no pain at all. Thank you Dr. Grin and his assistant for taking good care of me. Maria Lira Manrique.

I initially went to Dr. Grin because the orofacial dentist I had seen for years retired and recommended Dr. Grin to his patients. I found Dr. Grin very knowledgeable and extremely competent. He listened to my concerns and offered effective solutions, including a new “snore guard” which he designed to inhibit my snoring and mild sleep apnea without exacerbating my TMJ problems. His nurses and office staff are kind, efficient, and professional. Over the course of a year, I was in the office six times, and every time I was the only patient in the office. I realized that Dr. Grin and his staff really do devote their full attention to each patient at his/her appointed time. I have had occasion to mention to my regular dentist and my family doctor that I see Dr. Grin for orofacial and snoring problems; both of those medical professionals commented on how fortunate I am to have found Dr. Grin.

I'm very grateful to him for his care and concern which he has shown this entire year. I would recommend him to anyone needing this type of help.
With Dr. Grin's help and treatment my jaw pain has subsided. He is very caring and super thorough. He always takes the time to listen to your concerns.
The staff at his office are to be complimented for a wonderful job! Great service to the public!

Dr. Grin is beyond amazing, and did what no other doctor could. I have an extremely rare headache disorder, and the medication usually used to treat it was giving me adverse side effects. There are no known guaranteed alternatives to this medication, yet Dr. Grin spent a tremendous amount of time, effort and expertise until he miraculously found something else that works for me. He absolutely changed my health and my life. I will forever be grateful to him, and will be his patient as long as he practices!

Dr. Eric Grin is Dr. Paul Grin's son and they share a practice in Torrance that specializes in TMJ issues. I've faced TMJ problems for 30 years and know that anyone who has difficulty with that joint must find the best doctor to help them.
Two and a half years ago I had osteoarthritis in that joint. It was so severe that my lower jaw had shifted to the right and I was unable to chew. It required surgery.
Dr. Grin has helped me through a long and difficult recovery. He's been kind and impressive in his competence and attention to detail. It's such a comforting feeling to know that I'm dealing with a person who takes pride in his craft and doesn't "sign off" on his work until he's certain it's done right.
One of the best doctors of any specialty I've ever met.

I was diagnosed at the dentist that my teeth were infected, needed root canal treatment. The wait for surgery was 2 months, so I went to root canal specialist Dr. Keith Komatsu who diagnosed that it’s not a root canal, it’s a TMJ issue & referred me to Dr. Grin who saved my teeth & took care of my horrible jaw & teeth pain. Dr. Grin is not only excellent with his specialty but also very thorough & caring. I highly recommend Dr. Grin. Thank you Dr. Grin!
