Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

Dr. Jay Grossman has been passionate about dentistry since the age of 10. His excellence in undergraduate school and his enthusiasm for dentistry led to his acceptance at the age of 19 to New York University College of Dentistry without an undergraduate degree. At 24, Dr. Grossman moved to Santa Monica, CA, with his wife and first baby. The Navy seemed like a dynamic venue that would afford him a plethora of experiences, so he enlisted. After completing a tour of duty as a Lieutenant in the Dental Corps and receiving the National Defense Service Medal, he was written up in major magazines as the poster boy for recruitment due to his non-profit Homeless Not Toothless. He has received letters of commendation from President Obama, the Secretary of the Navy, and numerous members of Congress for his non-profit. Since 1991, he started his practice in Brentwood, California, and has been practicing there ever since, with over 15,000 patients in his practice, known to his loyal patients as “Dr. J.”. As a dental expert, he has been involved in over 1,100 dental malpractice, peer review, and injury cases, with a balance of 52% defense and 48% plaintiff cases. He has been published and written about in print, radio, and TV over 300 times. He is licensed in 42 states to opine on the standard of care as an expert witness. He is currently a Professor at UCLA School of Dentistry (1995-present) and an adjunct Assistant Professor at NYU College of Dentistry. Founder of the non-profit “Homeless Not Toothless” (www.homelessnottoothless.org), he has made it possible for 135,000 homeless Veterans, Victims of domestic abuse, and foster children to receive over $11 million in pro-bono dental care since its inception in 1992. He got his black belt at the age of 45 and lives in Malibu with his wife of 38 years.
