Reviews of Dr. Grin in Torrance , CA

Clean office. Friendly staff. NO WAIT TIMES!! Overall, very happy with the outcome and will definitely refer.

Excellent care!

Dr. Grin and his team are amazing. Dr. Grin is very knowledgeable and personable. No waiting; very efficiently run office. Uses alternative therapies to help with TMJD, sleep apnea and other issues. Highly recommend Dr. Grin!

I first saw Dr. Grin for treatment for chronic relentless neck and shoulder pain that I had been experiencing for nearly a year. I saw other health care professionals before Dr. Grin, but received no relief. I immediately felt like Dr. Grin was on the right track with my treatment. Over the next few months I experienced steady improvement until all of my pain was gone. That was 3 years ago, and I remain pain free to this day. I got my life back! I now see Dr. Grin for some sleep issues and again there is significant improvement. Dr. Grin is a caring professional. That care and professionalism is reflected in his office staff as well. They are a wonderful team and a pleasure to deal with. Five stars plus for Dr. Grin and staff.

Dr. Grin and his staff are wonderful. He is the only Dr. I have ever met that is always on time. He is very gentle, thorough, patient and clear in his treatment, questions and answers. His office staff are efficient, calm and considerate. I was treated by Dr. Grin for TMJ and would highly recommend him.

I had been to three Doctors prior to Dr. Grin, I had severe pain couldn’t sleep,eat, headaches were so bad I could just cry but didn’t because it would make the pain so much worse. I was asked on a scale from 1-10 how bad my pain was, when I answered 10 they couldn’t believe it until They checked me out. I have been put through the rest of medication until Dr. Grin found the perfect Match, I was given a bite guard that I tried for the first time last night.... I woke up in no pain for the first time that I could ever remember! It’s been decades! I thank Dr. Grin and his lovely staff for their kindness, patience and care! I highly recommend this Doctor’s office!

Dr. Grin and his staff are very professional, and kind. Dr. Grin, is very methodical with his questions, to help him understand what test to take, and how to treat my specific illness. I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone having issues with their mouth, face and mouth.

Dr. Grin was initially recommended to me by my insurance program as an in-network provider for oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea. I called the office and spoke with Carmen, who was extremely friendly, patient, knowledgeable and helpful. She and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure the process worked with my time constraints of leaving the country on vacation, and my deductible renewing. Their location is easily located with ample parking. Their office is warm and calming, clean and organized. They even offer snacks and bottled water! Dr. Grin and his Assistant, Ruth, are amazing. They care about your comfort and well-being, they take the time to ask questions and listen to you. I just picked up my oral appliance today and Dr. Grin spent a lot of time with me to ensure a proper, comfortable fit. I know if there are any issues, I can rely on him and the staff to take care of them right away. I highly recommend Dr. Grin to anyone who is in need of this kind of specialist. He and his team are the best!

I was referred to Dr. Grin by my dentist to treat my jaw pain/TMJ. I had tried several different avenues to release the pressure (physical therapy, cupping, etc) but experienced limited relief. Dr. Grin performed a thorough analysis of the movement and pain in my jaw and suggested some easy steps to relieve the pain. Within one week the pain was about 75% reduced at which point he moved on to diagnosing and correcting the root cause. Dr Grin is very thorough and takes great care with his patients. He runs a very efficient office and I have never waited more than a minute or two before being seen. His nursing and front office staff are kind and helpful and you feel as if you are in good hands all around.

Dr. Grin and his staff are simply phenomenal. Their level of work, customer service, compassion, and responsiveness left me extremely satisfied with my treatment and experience. Dr. Grin and his assistants met with me on each of my visits individually with no other patients scheduled at the time. I was the main focus of their attention and that was clearly communicated with me. The Dr's "bedside manner" is something that all physician's should strive to meet. His sincere concern and engagement not only gave me a clear understanding of my condition, diagnosis and prescribed treatment, but it actually made me a better person for knowing him. This type of treatment and concern is what I often hear about from older generations on physicians that cared for families of yesteryear. Dr. Grin's staff were always on point, explained my benefits, ensured that prescribed treatment was on schedule, maintained positive pressure on insurance companies for responsiveness, and always took the time to engage with me with genuine conversation. Truly "good people." If you require medical care for what Dr. Grin and staff specializes in, there's no distance in Southern California that I wouldn't travel to be seen by him and his team. Sincerely, MVV

Dr Grin is very thorough and gentle. His staff is attentive. I was referred by a friend for my TMJ issues. Dr Grin takes Medicare for the services and I paid nothing for his exceptional care out of my own pocket. I am very grateful for this financial windfall. I have no reservations on recommending him.

I appreciate Dr. Paul Grin’s smooth adept manner of making molds for my retainers. I was grateful, but not surprised, since Dr. Grin’s manner of treating my TMJ for months now has been nothing less than perfect. First he inserted the empty plate in my mouth to both measure for the correct size, and, as he explained, to give the patient the advance experience of what it felt like to have a plate in the mouth. Then he and his assistant Ruth meticulously mixed the precise portion of ingredients of the “quick-set” paste –-selected for its reduced strain on my existing “Maryland bridge.” So, in went the upper plate with paste: no fuss, no gagging, no surprises. All I had to do was sit there and listen to the two pundits do their thing: communicate pithy exchanges about the numbers of seconds and the status of the morphing “sample” ball of paste Ruth rolled on the counter to simulate what was going on in my mouth. Once fixed in place, Dr. Grin never took his two hands off the plate in my mouth. He stood still as a statue. Not a millimeter of a waver. Until the time and texture were right. It was really something. Then he popped it out, and seamlessly repeated the procedure for the lower plate. My husband complimented Dr. Grin, “Bet you’ve done that a thousand times!” “Ten thousand!” answered Dr. Grin. He looked at the molds; pleased with his work of art, he added a subtle, “Beautiful!” Then he disappeared off to the finishing lab room to personally finalize the touches before sending them out. I have no doubt those two retainers will fit perfectly and prove to either cure my TMJ arthritis or prevent it from getting worse. I’m delighted already. Thank you, Dr. Grin, for being the world’s best TMJ specialist. Thank you, Ruth, for your smart, compassionate assistance. Thank you, Carmen, for your pleasant, efficient scheduling. Thank you, Blanca, for your warm, organized reception at the front desk. What a group. If you don’t have TMJ, get some. It would be worth it just to meet these good people for 15 minutes.

We came to see Dr. Grin for my 14 year old daughter who had been having a locked jaw for almost 2 months. We had seen another TMJ specialist at Kaiser that did not offer us anything but an invasive steroid injection into the tmj. I’m glad we didn’t proceed with this, because with therapy and medication prescribed by Dr. Grin her jaw unlocked! We also discovered through a CT that my daughter has arthritic changes in her tmj. I’m grateful to have found Dr. Grin he’s excellent!

Dr. Grin is very knowledgeable, gentle and patient and his staff is kind and very organized! I highly recommend.

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Paul Grin! He is extremely knowledgeable, and very kind, caring, compassionate and empathetic. After a few orthodontists messed up my face and jaw, and supposedly triggered osteoarthritis in my jaw joints, he helped me to find my bite, (which none of the orthodontist were able to find) by doing home exercises, and prescribing a muscle relaxant. He recommended a different orthodontist that is just as fabulous as him. I am getting my face back by aligning my jaw, and the pain and discomfort is fading away. Dr. Grin's staff: Ruth, Blanca and Carmen are all wonderful, and Dr. Grin himself is heaven sent! I am forever grateful!

The professionalism of Dr Grin and his staff are exceptional. The office is very clean and organized. Dr Grin is a very compassionate doctor.

Dr Grin and his staff are amazing. Dr Grin is patient and listens to your concerns and was able to treat me and my symptoms are finally gone. I was having ear pain, dizziness and headaches and two other doctors were unable to determine it was TMJ. Dr Grin listened to my symptoms and did tests to determine it was TMJ. He provided me exercise to do and medicine to treat the symptoms. I didn't know TMJ could cause so many symptoms. After a few visits my pain was gone and I am so grateful to Dr Grin and his staff

While I’m not a person to write reviews, I feel compelled to write this one for Dr. Grin since I know how important it is for patients to find an experienced pain specialist when they need one and are doing their research. I met Dr. Grin at the UCLA Sleep Medicine Mini-Residency Program for dentists last month when he lectured and held a hands on clinical session for us dentists attending this 5 month program. As he lectured and answered the group’s questions in detail, I was impressed and blown away by his comprehensive knowledge and understanding of this complex specialty. In the course of the day, I spoke with him at length and got to know him on a more personal level. I came to know that he is not only a wonderful clinician, but also a caring and friendly person who is dedicated to his patients. Over the years, I’ve seen patients who have come into my practice suffering from TMJ related symptoms, headaches or facial pain and despite many of these patients having visited different specialists, some remained without a proper diagnosis or proper treatment. I realize that there are patients that may not know that there are highly trained experts in this area that can help them. For those patients seeking care and relief from facial pain, I highly recommend Dr. Grin and from now on I will be referring my advanced cases to him for treatment.

Dr. Grin is extremely knowledgeable and highly educated, trained and experienced in helping those with TMJ and orofacial pain conditions. He is an authority in this area of expertise and he contributes to educating other professionals all of the the country and the world. He is definitely someone who is very capable and extremely trustworthy and truly committed to his patients success of treatment as well as their overall long term wellbeing. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Paul Grin drastically helped my wife with her TMJ disorder that was giving her pain for 30 years. After seeing many other doctors all over the LA area. Finally after meeting Dr. Grin at UCLA then going to his private office in Torrence CA he treated her and made upper and lower appliances. After a few month of wearing those devices her pain level dropped from 50 to 75 %. My wife and myself highly recommend Dr. Grin. Also his staff also get a 5 star review. They all are fantastic.

I recently attended a lecture by Dr.Grin at UCLA school of dentistry continuing education course . Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Looking forward to refer Patient to you

Very professional, kind, and knowledgeable doctor. He has the insight and compassion to understand the needs of his patients, as well as the medical expertise to fulfill those needs.

Dr. Paul Grin is thoughtful and sincere. He spends the time to listen. He is quite knowledgeable- I understand he teaches at UCLA. I am know that I am in good hands.

After growing joint pain in my jaw for a couple of months, what I hoped was "just" TMJ, I finally sought help. Thankfully, I ended up at Dr. Grin's office. I was quickly seen and my issues identified. A relief plan was immediately implemented and my issues saw the start of relief within in a day or two. It turns out my issue is chronic and Dr. Grin and his friendly staff, are working with me on life changes and appliances to help keep my condition under control. As I mentioned, everyone in the office, Dr. Grin included, is friendly and kind; I enjoy every time I go there. Also, they start all of their appointments promptly, it's such a joy to go to a professional medical office that respects your time as much as you do theirs. Thank you Dr. Grin!
