Reviews of Dr. Grin in Torrance , CA

I've been seeing Dr. Grin for my TMJ issues for the last few months. Dr. Grin is very attentive and very thorough. Through his guidance and treatment my TMJ symptoms have diminished significantly. His staff members are also very kind and helpful. I would recommend Dr. Grin to anyone suffering from TMJ.

My Mom was diagnosed in 2014 with trigeminal Neuralgia which returned in late 2020,early 2021 with a vengeance, her facial pain Doctor had retired in 2019 and left a recommendation for Dr. Grin. Her symptom is excruciating nerve pain in her cheek. There are 4 reasons I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his entire team: 1)We had upped Mom's previously prescribed drug dose to the max and she was suffering greatly, I called Dr. Grin and earliest appointment was a week away. I told Blanca please get us in earlier, she is suffering greatly. Blanca called with a cancellation and we got Mom in saving her a week of pain.Thank you Blanca. 2)Dr. Grin and his assistant Ruth have good bedside manner, they always told Mom everything they were going to do, reassuring for an elderly (94 year old) patient. Dr. Grin's questions and testing was quick and efficient, he quickly verified trigeminal Neuralgia. 3)He prescribed a new drug, and literally the day after she started taking it, the day after she saw him, the excruciating pain, even the minor twitching in her cheek preceding pain, was gone. Dr. Grin is extremely expert with these problems, and with all treatment options. Main problem solved.Thank you Ruth and Dr. Grin. 4)Mom still on both old and new drug, she had muscle weakness, falling issues several days later, specifically Friday through Sunday. I called office Monday and response from Carmen, Blanca, Dr. Grin was immediate with recommendations to change dosage of old med. This went on for several days,I'd update conditions and even if Dr. Grin was not in office I got a response from him via his office on recommended action. Thank you Carmen and Blanca. So...Great team, in summary: 1-Got her in 1 week early, 2- Good bedside manner, questions and testing quickly and accurately determined condition causing pain 3-Mom's pain gone literally the next day with new drug prescription 4-Complications from side effects addressed immediately via phone and actions recommended to correct undesirable side effects. Seldom deal with such a top notch team, from first phone call and on Blanca, Ruth, Carmen, Dr. Grin are top notch, Excellent team. Excellent response. Excellent results. For my Mom Jean, and my family, Thank you- Paul R. PS- Don't waste time, if you have facial pain see the specialist Dr. Grin and his specialist team. No need to suffer, end the pain!

From my first visit, I noticed that Dr Grin was very thorough and detailed in his assessment of my TMJ case. He listened patiently to my concerns and thoughtfully asked his questions. The appointments never felt rushed. The nurse and office staff were very kind, gentle, and took care of me while I was there. I highly recommend Dr Grin's and his office for his work.

I found that the Dr and his staff are very professional, friendly and willing to help answer questions.

Amazing experience with a warm, friendly and super caring staff. I was referred by my dentist for a specialty issue and my dentist selected the right specialist to mitigate my unique situation. I decided to wait a few weeks post-diagnosis and treatment to see if there were noticeable improvements, and I am happy to report that Dr Grin’s assessment has made a big difference. If you are looking for an expert that cares and can help... Dr Grin and his staff are the best choice.

Dr Grin was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and helped me to understand how to manage TMJ pain. His staff was also friendly and polite.

Nice people, friendly and helpful. I liked Dr. Grin and staff. Someone who knows what they are doing makes what they do look effortless and easy. Highly recommended for TMJ pain, snoring and sleep apnea.

Dr. Grin and his team run a first class business. They are always on time and appointments are very efficient. Most importantly, Dr. Grin knows how to fix your problem. I have always had TMJ. However, last summer I had a river rafting accident that caused my jaw to get dislocated. Although my chiropractor was able to help me realign the jaw, I lost range of motion in my haw and the pain and sensitivity in my join continued without any improvement for over three months until I found Dr. Grin. Within a couple of visits, DR. Grin had given me the tools to start my road to recovery. His methods were very easy to follow and incorporate into my daily activities. I highly recommend checking him out if you are experiencing TMJ issues or sleep apnea.

Dr Grin is very thorough and has been helping my daughter with TMJ. Hopefully the treatment he’s prescribed will continue to help my daughter improve and on her way back to a painless jaw.

Great staff; feel so much better!

I came to Dr. Grin suffering from TMJ pain and sleep apnea. I was very impressed with the Dr. and his staff. They made me feel welcome each visit and the staff was very efficient . Dr. Grin is very knowledgeable and I now have a new mouth guard and my sleep has greatly improved. Thank you Dr. Grin. I look forward to seeing you again.

I would like to tell you how wonderful our experience has been with Dr. Paul Grin, with regards to our daughters intense TMJ pain. Dr. Grin has completely cured our daughter of her jaw "locking" and has been able to decrease the amount of pain she suffers after eating certain things. Her jaw was in very bad shape and Dr. Grin has been incredible with rectifying the situation. His assistant Ruth is wonderful, as is his office staff. We are very glad that Dr. Grin was recommended to us to help our daughter. We highly recommend Dr. Grin and his practice!!!

The office staff are very helpful and have great attitudes, they are very kind people here. Made my day! Also Dr. Grin seems to be pretty meticulous in his work. I'm very relieved that he was able to identify the discomfort I've been dealing with for years in my jaw and neck.

My experience with Dr. Grin has been excellent He is caring, knowledgeable and patient. I was seen very quickly and all my questions were answered fully His staff is friendly and helpful as well

I rarely leave a review. However, it's rare to have an amazing experience with a medical office staff and the Doctor. This is what happens when you engage with Dr. Grin and his team. From the first initial call to schedule and each visit. I felt like I was definitely going to be in good hands. De. Grin is thorough and his bedside manner is unmatched. He truly cares about identifying the issue and offering a plan. Strongly recommend!

Dr Grinn take great car in explain what need to be taken car of and how to do it. When you arrive for your appointment time his friendly and helpful staff is right there to help and Dr Grinn see you at that time. No waiting siting in a room for an hour like other Drs..

Fantastic staff, great customer service, very efficient and friendly. Dr. Grin is wonderful. He takes his time, is thorough and really listens. It's very hard to find a specialist in this field. We are so fortunate to have him in the area.

I've been seeing Dr. Grin for about six months now, and have appreciated how straight forward and educational he and the staff have been during my appointments. He explains things in a simple way and promotes non-surgical solutions. When I experienced an emergency, his staff squeezed me in for a quick appointment and Dr. Grin released my lock jaw in a matter of seconds. Everyone in the office is extremely kind, and I look forward to seeing the results we've discussed through my treatment plan.

My T M J was so painful I was happy that my Dentist referred me to Dr Paul Grin. Even though not knowing what to expect, upon entering his office & meeting the receptionist & his assistant I was very comfortable, also very important to me was the cleanliness of the office and patient rooms. When meeting Dr Grin I was surprised at what a knowledgeable Dr he is and also how he is so compassionate And really dedicated to his specialty & to his patients. Thank you Gr Grin.

If you have any type of facial pain, definitely get your referral to this office. Dr. Grin and his staff have been extremely accommodating in taking care of my jaw issues. In a short time, they were able to identify exactly what was wrong and administer a medical regiment for pain relief. Everything has been in-office, so no need to drive around town for different procedures, e.g CT scans, etc. Excellent communication and always on time appointments. I can't say enough good things about this practice and I am fortunate that my dentist referred me to them.

Dr. Grin's office and staff are using excellent Covid protocols and are exceptionally kind and courteous. When I started treatment my bite was so misaligned my teeth only contacted in one spot and I had occasional pain. I'm happy to say that after a relatively short treatment my bite is back to normal and the pain is gone!

Dr. Grin's office has wonderful staff that helped me through the process of getting my insurance cover my treatment. The staff was helpful in finding appointments for me when I was in severe pain within short notice. Dr. Grin is understanding and listens well to the concerns of his patients. I am absolutely happy with the treatment I received from him and will continue coming to his office. I had tried four other doctors before I met Dr. Grin and I 100% recommend anyone looking for TMJ treatment to come to him.

It was quick and easy to set up appointments, and the technicians are so helpful in figuring out health insurance for you! A few details were not explained to me about my diagnosis, but otherwise I came to understand my condition much better and received multiple options for treatment. Dr. Grin is definitely very knowledgeable and experienced in his work. All around, Dr. Grin and the staff are very nice, easy to work with, helpful, and friendly.

More than words can say, I feel extremely lucky to have been referred to Dr. Grin and his team by my dentist Dr. Wayne Park. For many years, I've had TMJ issues but it intensified earlier last year to the point I could hardly open and close my mouth for a few days. By the time I got around to making an appointment with Dr. Grin, I had gone back to my more regular state of pain, but that did not make Dr. Grin take things any less seriously. I am sure that many of the patients Dr. Grin sees have far worse levels of pain at the time of their visit than I did, but Dr. Grin treated me with the utmost of care, attentiveness, and professionalism. I even downplayed my pain stating that it wasn't necessarily so much pain as it was "dull ache" and he replied saying "that's still pain". And with that dull ache/pain now virtually 100% gone at the time that I write this, I now have gained perspective and see an absolute world of difference and can recognize how intense the pain I was experiencing actually was and that I had simply learned to deal with it (i.e., I had normalized it) all these years. The particular plan of treatment I received was (more or less) as follows: 1) Initial consultation + CT scan. Sent home on soft diet + hot/wet towel neck care. 2) Follow up consultation w/ CT reading and further diagnosis. Sent home with 2 weeks worth of anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer medication + jaw/tongue exercises. 3) Follow up consultation to track progress and get fitted for mouthpiece (for my grinding). 4) Final consultation to pick up and ensure proper fitting of mouthpiece. The initial consultation was extremely thorough and I did not feel rushed in any way. In fact, I even wrote up about an entire page of history and Dr. Grin had reviewed it in its entirety before the appointment. There is a great focus not just on the jaw itself but on all related areas as well - whether it be the neck, something psychological (such as stress), etc. With each follow up, I reported any differences in the level of my pain at the time of my arrival. As my treatment progressed, my pain gradually began to reduce to the point where I had became virtually pain free by around the time of my last visit. To date, none of my symptoms have returned and I am virtually pain free in relation to my former TMJ issues and confident that I will continue to be due to the treatment, medication, tools, and mouthpiece I received. It would be ridiculous not to also mention that everyone on staff is what truly makes the office special. Before I even made my first appointment, I was given a very clear sense of how treatment would generally go and what the costs would be (ballpark of course since there would be no way of knowing without actual diagnosis). There was no guesswork nor any feeling that I was being rushed or that they were just trying to get another body in the door - rather, every step of the way was honest and professional on every level. As well, I was helped with several insurance items that the office was not obligated to help me with but nonetheless were kind enough to take the initiative to do so. All that to say, since - as I said - my condition has been more than sufficiently treated, I won't be going back now for another few months. I am extremely thankful for being referred to Dr. Grin and staff. Without sounding too dramatic...it genuinely felt like a reset button was switched in my life and I don't have to deal with the severe pain that was afflicting my day to day life for countless years in a greater way than I had even previously realized. As I stated earlier...it wasn't until after the pain was gone that I got perspective again on what it was like to actually feel normal instead of "normal" being a state of perpetual discomfort and pain. I will always be grateful to everyone at Dr. Grin's office!!!
