Meet Our Team

Bonnie was born and raised in Gladstone, OR. Her journey in dentistry began when a childhood friend, a dental assistant, offered her a job as a sterile tech at the dental office in which she worked. Little did she know, this would lead to a career in the dental field. In 2006, Bonnie moved to Reno, NV for 7 years. During that period, she completed the dental assisting program at Truckee Meadows Community College. Upon moving back to OR, Bonnie began working for Mark’s father (also a Dentist) in NE Portland as a dental assistant before deciding to go back to school to pursue a career as a dental hygienist. It was a slow start, working full time and taking pre-requisite night and weekend classes. She attended dental hygiene school at Mt Hood Community College. It’s funny how things work out, as Bonnie recalls JT Eilers telling her, “Mark will have a spot for you after you graduate”.

A year after graduating, Bonnie was indeed offered a position at Eilers Dental as a dental hygienist. Bonnie loves making a difference in her patients’ lives, building relationships and treating each patient as if they were a member of her own family. She lives in Happy Valley with her Fiancé, Jason, son Eugene, and soon to be step kids, Megan and Lance. We can’t forget about their fur-baby Oakley, a 2 year old Golden Retriever, who has the whole family smitten. In her spare time, Bonnie enjoys hiking with Oakley, taking their trailer on camping adventures, exercising, skiing, and spending time with family and friends.
