The history of Groskin & Associates is one of steady growth and adaptation, built upon enduring client relationships passed down through generations. The firm's evolution mirrors the changing landscape of financial planning, from its roots in foundational insurance products to its current status as a comprehensive wealth management and risk mitigation practice. This journey has been guided by a core mission: to provide clear, unbiased, and strategic financial advice that empowers clients to make informed decisions for their future. The mission extends beyond numbers and portfolios; it focuses on understanding each client's unique life goals, family dynamics, and personal values, translating complex financial concepts into actionable, understandable plans.
Expertise at Groskin & Associates spans the full spectrum of personal and business financial health. The team possesses deep knowledge in retirement income planning, investment management, estate planning strategies, and insurance solutions for both life and business continuity. What truly sets the firm apart is its holistic, client-centered approach. Advisors at Groskin & Associates take the time to conduct thorough discovery processes, ensuring that every recommended strategy is fully aligned with the client's specific circumstances, risk tolerance, and long-term aspirations. They pride themselves on being educators, demystifying the financial world so clients feel confident and in control.
The firm's unique value proposition is multifaceted. First is its independence; as an independent firm, it is not bound to proprietary products, allowing advisors to objectively select the best solutions from a wide universe of carriers and investment options. This objectivity is paramount in building trust. Second is its multigenerational perspective. With experience serving clients at all life stages—from young professionals just starting out to retirees navigating distribution phases—the firm provides wisdom and continuity that is rare in the industry. Third is its deep local roots. Being based in Rochester for so long means the advisors have an intimate understanding of the local economy, job market, and community resources, allowing for nuanced advice that a national firm cannot replicate.
Furthermore, Groskin & Associates distinguishes itself through its service model, which emphasizes ongoing, proactive communication and regular plan reviews. Financial plans are not static documents but living frameworks that are adjusted for life's inevitable changes—marriages, births, career transitions, and market shifts. The team's accessibility and responsiveness foster a relationship where clients feel genuinely cared for. In a field often criticized for being transactional, Groskin & Associates maintains a relational ethos, proving that the most sophisticated financial strategy is ineffective without a foundation of genuine partnership and trust. This commitment to personalized service, combined with technical expertise and independent advice, solidifies Groskin & Associates' position as a premier financial guidance firm in the Rochester area, dedicated to helping clients build, protect, and transition their wealth with confidence.

Customer Reviews
Excellent dental office
Friendly and efficient front office staff. Great experienced hygienist and dental assistants, and of course an excellent caring dentist.
I came to Dr. Groskin's office after experiencing a dental emergency (broken crown with a gaping hole in molar) and being turned away by my prior practice, Albee Family Dental. Dr. Groskin's office got me in by the next day. His staff is exceedingly kind and efficient. Dr. Yorko took care of me and explained the course of care in a no-nonsense way and rationalized his recommendations in a compassionate way that made me feel seen and heard. They now have three new patients. I'm grateful that Albee Dental was unhelpful because it led me here.
I have been going to Dr. Groskin for well over 30 years, and there is No other dentist I would rather go too. Dr. Groskin is very professional, extremely knowledgeable in dentistry and just a wonderful person. The staff at Groskin & Associates is top notch, and very skilled in their field of attributes. They are always welcoming, and very accommodating to patients needs.
I have / had so many issues with my teeth, and they helped me map out a plan to get my mouth / teeth on the path to recovery. I would recommend them to anyone that is in need of a cleaning or dental work.
Hi. I started going to this dental office a little over a year ago, because when my children were young, I used to belong to Dr. Groskins‘s office. But beware and keep all your receipts of what you have paid. They sent me a bill for a crown that was done a year and three months ago. They claimed I put X amount of money on my credit card, which I replied that amount is not correct and I have my receipt to prove it. They told me that they can prove what they are saying. I asked when is a good time to stop in and show you t receipt. I was told Monday because they are closing early on Friday. I said ok.
I then received a phone call 5 minutes later apologizing that my amount is correct and I will be getting a refund of X. I tried to explain that this amount is incorrect. They were short with me and hung up. I called them back immediately and after being on hold for a minute, I was told I am correct and I will get a refund of $56! Again they were sorry!
Wow. Beware
Disappointing!!! I’ve been going here for years. I use to bring my children here too! I miss two appointments and was dismissed! The first missed appointment was because my fathers chemotherapy went longer. I called as soon as possible! The second missed appointment, I fell and went to emergency. I had a concussion. I over slept! I had documented medical records and was told I’m no longer a patient there. That two missed appointments was office policy. Tracy was rude! My left jaw and bite were off! She didn’t care and said “ let me know where to forward your records to! They left me no other choice as I was refused care !!!!
There are a few times they had mistakes on my schedule or I had to wait! I was very understanding with the practice!
Sometimes things happen in life unplanned! I certainly didn’t appreciate the way I was treated.
It’s all changed since Dr. Groskin is
barley there! The rude office has made changes to the practice with no written notification! They rush on your teeth cleaning using covid as an excuse!
I’m not the only person to complain about them. They already left your practice! I should have listened to them!!
