Jennifer

Jennifer earned her Dental Hygiene degree and license in her birthplace, Ohio, in 2004. She graduated from Elyria Catholic High School, then Lorain County Community College with an Associates of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene.

In 2006, she  moved to New York with her family in 2006, and has been a member of the Groskin team, on a part time basis, since 2012 and full time since 2020.

“My family and I like to travel to warm places and spend time watching or playing sports,” says Jennifer. “I’m an avid fan of Ohio State and all Cleveland sports teams. We get back to Ohio to visit family whenever we can.

“Working with Dr. G and Dr.Yorko has been great. This office has a family feel to it. I had been working at my prior office for 14 years and then began working here one day in 2012. I don’t like change. But when my full time dentist retired, as hard as it was to close that chapter and move on, I didn’t have a choice. But my new place of work proved wonderful. Everyone on staff at Dr G’s practice makes you feel at home and relaxed.

“Being a dental hygienist has allowed me to help people learn more about their oral health and how it relates to their overall health. I hope each patient can walk away from each visit having learned one tip from me about improving their oral hygiene. One of my goals is to always try to make my patients comfortable in an environment that is known to cause some level of stress or anxiety. I hope to make every visit to our office a pleasant one.”

“Groskin runs a good office and hires good people. The people working there seem conscientious and focused on the patient. I definitely recommend him and his staff, they really seem to do things right and do the best for their patients. There is a down-to-earthness about his practice.”

“I was born right here in Rochester, New York, and attended Hilton High School, Monroe Community College and SUNY Brockport College. I took the Monroe Community College Dental Assistant Program and attended Eastman Dental during clinical rotations.

“I can take x-rays, mix dental materials, remove cement from crowns, but I also like to think that I’m personable and compassionate. I love animals. (I have 6 rabbits.) I love my family and being outside. I also love spending time with my boyfriend and best friends at book club. I work at my best friend’s restaurant on the weekends.

“I have been a member of Dr. Groskin’s office since June 2022. Dr. Mark Groskin is the most compassionate dentist I’ve ever met, and goes above and beyond for his patients.  Dr Yorko is very efficient. The whole office feels like a family unit.”

“…this dental office is the best! Thank you, thank you, Dr Groskin and all the staff. My teeth have never felt better, and my pocketbook feels pretty good too. You’re all wonderful, and I would recommend you to anyone! ”
