Every Smile Tells a Story

We love it when our patients smile, and we love it even more when want they want to tell the world! Check out what our patients have to say about their 5-star experience with us.

Kandace L.

Truly the kindest staff you will ever meet. They genuinely make my day so much better every time I have to come in for an appointment. Very personable and easy to make an appointment with. I go to them as an adult, but I would definitely recommend anyone who has children to take them here!

Ben K.

The best orthodontic group there is! My treatment plan was very smooth and Dr. Kramer made sure to take his time to explain everything to me. They also made sure that my braces were never bothering me and that I was at comfort while getting my smile fixed. I still have my braces on currently, but so far it’s worth every penny. I have see very good results and I have only had my braces on for 10 months. I can’t wait to see the final result.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Ben! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience has been positive and that Dr. Kramer provided the care and explanations you needed. Looking forward to the final result of your treatment!

Cassandra C.

Five of our children have received treatment from Dr. Balhoff. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. The entire staff at Sherman and Balhoff Orthodontics has been wonderful.

Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting us with your family! We love having all of you here.

Gannon B.

It was easy to make an appointment and I was seen quickly by their professional and knowledgeable staff.
I had a great experience and would highly recommend them to any family or friends.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your review Gannon!! Patients like you make our day brighter!

MDU U.

From the very first time you walk though the door, it is a wonderful experience. The staff are all friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We have a wonderful experience every time and cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review. Having wonderful people like you in our office makes our days spectacular!

Davia W.

The absolute best! We were recommended by my children’s dentist and the office was directly next door (Prairieville location). The entire office staff is amazing and very personable which had me sold from the consultation. My son started treatment in Aug 2024 and so did I Dec 2024. The reviews definitely match the experience and I’d recommend over and over again!!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Davia! We're thrilled to hear that you and your son have had such positive experiences with us. Our team strives to provide exceptional service, and your recommendation means the world to us. We look forward to continuing to support you both throughout your treatment!

Carly D.

After having my braces off for only 7 months from a previous orthodontist, I switched to S&B after not being happy with my results and incomplete treatment. One of the best decisions I've made. Great with time management, quick and easy appointments, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Carly! We're thrilled to hear that switching to Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics has made such a difference for you. Our team is dedicated to providing efficient and friendly service, and your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to support your orthodontic journey!

Scott D.

I recently completed my second go-round with braces (my first was many years ago as a teenager), as a 60 year old patient of S&B.
I want to express my most sincere appreciation for the results I see when I look in the mirror...the results have exceeded my expectations.
Additionally, I was very impressed with the way I was treated (as a patient) each and every time I had an appointment.
Yet, I believe one of the most impactful (and unexpected) memories of this journey was the way I felt each time I left the building (at the end of each appointment.) With no exception, each time I was there, I felt a genuine teamwork atmosphere. To the person, they not only expressed care for me (the patient) but they expressed care for each other (the employee.)
Thank you, S&B, for not only leaving me with a visual example of success but, moreover, an emotional example of success.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words about us and our staff. We work diligently day in and day out to provide the best patient experience possible, so it’s wonderful to hear when we meet our goals!

Allison K.

They are amazing with everyone. My daughter just had braces put on in May and they have been wonderful with questions, etc.

Response from the owner:Allison thank you for your kind words about us and our staff. We work diligently day in and day out to provide the best patient experience possible, so it’s wonderful to hear when we meet our goals!

Dana G.

I used Sherman and Balhoff myself as an adult and now my daughter is a patient there. They are the best and go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Sherman even came back after closing because my daughter was having an issue with her bite after getting her braces put on. He was so very nice and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.

Response from the owner:Dana thank you for your kind words! Your vote of confidence in our practice is why we do what we do!

Spunky E.

I only been in for first appointment and so far it has been great. The facility is great and the staff is all fantastic!

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave us a great 5-star review!
