As a new patient, I walked into the office with extreme trepidation- I had an abscessed tooth. I was seen almost immediately and was treated with outstanding patient care. Dr. Lin eased my mind from the moment he started the procedure. He should really consider being a Yoga teacher on the side- "breath in, breath out!" Thank you Dr. Lin!

This was my first visit to La Jolla Oral & Facial Surgery with Dr. Gramins, as well as my first tooth extraction and implant. The front office was very welcoming, and from there forward it was a great experience. Bev the assistant was extremely personable and professional, and Dr Gramins was just as friendly and EXTREMELY efficient!! NO PAIN! NO PROBLEMS! Truly a wonderful experience, considering it was an extraction!

Dr Al Lin is such a great professional doctor! It was my first Botox experience and he and his wonderful staff talked me through the entire process so I knew what to expect. The experience was so comfortable and I am extremely satisfied with the results! Finding the fountain of youth was a lot easier than I thought. I know Dr Al Lin also supports the local dance & performing arts scene. That's how I knew about La Jolla Oral & Facial Surgery! I love small local businesses that are rooted in the community and so happy to support business that gives back to La Jolla!

My boyfriend had his wisdom teeth removed here and I can't praise this office enough! I was very overwhelmed with the whole process since I had to take care of him by myself. Dr. Gramins' and his staff went over and beyond to make sure all my questions/concerns were met. My boyfriend recovered like a champ! No problems at all.

I just had my wisdom teeth removed last Friday, and my overall experience was amazing! They used a longer lasting numbing medication called Exparel that made my recovery seamless! No need for any type of pain medication afterwards. Thank you!

I just broke my social media cleanse, but I had to let everyone know just how amazing Dr. Gramins and staff were throughout my tooth implant surgery. Staff was always friendly, informative, and accommodating no matter how many times I called with questions or to schedule follow up appointments. Dr. Gramins is truly an expert at what he does; he is precise, efficient, honest, and beyond knowledgeable. Superb in every way!

First the professionalism and then the financial part and working with the insurances and not putting any pressure on the patients, and following up, and their flexibility and understanding ... again, outstanding. THANK YOU!!!

Everything was wonderful, fast and free of any hassle. Had the surgery yesterday and today I'm off any pain killers and no puffiness. Nurses were great. Doctor was wonderful. Think of all the great things you could say about a dentist (I know, right?) well, this office deserves them.
