Administrative Team

Crystal Bertsch, EFDA

|Office Manager
Spring 19 Portraits 11

Crystal has worked in dentistry for more than 10 years, and has been a member of Pacific Oak Dental since 2006. She has spent 7 of those years as a dental assistant, and in 2008 decided to take a leap into the administrative side of dentistry.

She takes pleasure in providing patients with a positive dental experience by offering her knowledge of dentistry and compassion for people, while always lending an open ear to patient questions, comments and concerns. Crystal actively participates in continuing education courses to keep up with the ever changing administrative and clinical world of dentistry.

Crystal is an Oregon native and grew up in Forest Grove, where she currently resides with her husband, two daughters and a dog. She and her family love Oregon and all of the outdoor fun it has to offer. Camping, backyard BBQ’s, gardening, and family walks to the local park are just some of her family’s favorite ways to spend time together.



Erin Miller

| Patient Care Coordinator
Spring 19 Portraits 9

Erin has worked in customer relations her entire career. She came to Pacific Oak Dental in early 2018. She is new to the world of dentistry but no stranger to healthcare. A majority of her customer relations experience was based out of a call center and her desire to use her people skills in a more personable setting is what drew her to her current position here at Pacific Oak Dental. Erin, is a genuine people person and truly enjoys working with patients to assist in providing a positive dental experience.

Erin is a native Oregonian and grew up in nearby Gaston. As a young adult she ventured into the metropolis of Oregon only to be drawn back to the quaintness of Forest Grove where her and her husband are raising their young daughter, Lyra. They enjoy adventuring with Lyra and showing her the wonders of the world near and abroad. Outside of work Erin has many hobbies but some of her favorite things are crafting, sewing and knitting, and she shares her love by hosting classes to teach children and adults. Erin, ironically has a kitten named Toothless a name in which her daughter chose based on a beloved character.

| Dental Hygienist
Spring 19 Portraits 10

Shandy has been a member of Pacific Oak Dental since 2015. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Health Science from the Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) in 2014. Shandy loves being a hygienist because it allows her to build relationships with her patients whom she calls friends in the local community. Her role as a hygienist also fulfills her desire to educate people on the importance of daily oral hygiene and how routine visits to the dental office can play a significant role in a person’s overall health.

Shandy is a native Oregonian who grew up in Hillsboro. She married her high school sweetheart and together, they welcomed their son, Jaxon, into the world in November of 2015.
