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.
Sophia C.
Ash Rene was very helpful in assisting me with getting my new retainer. She laid out all my options and clearly answered all my questions. I am very satisfied with the service at Sherman & Balhoff.
Aisha D.
Dr Balhoff and his staff are kind, caring, and thorough and explained the whole process of getting braces and the expectations not only to me, but my daughter as well. I really appreciated they spoke to her first and got her opinion before they asked if I agreed with what she wanted and expected out of her orthodontic care. They are very flexible with their payment options which was greatly appreciated too. They’re wonderful and highly recommended
jeannine R.

Paige W.

Erica B.
They have been so amazing and patient with us for my daughter‘s first time having braces. They fit us in when we needed something quickly fixed. Made us feel so comfortable at all times!
Phyllis S.
Professional, friendly staff who make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. They were thorough with my consult and answered all questions. There was no question who would be doing my orthodontic treatment.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Phyllis! We're thrilled you felt welcomed by our friendly staff and appreciated the thorough consultation. It's wonderful to hear that you feel confident about your orthodontic journey with us.
Brittany M.
If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Our experience with them has been exceedingly, abundantly beyond anything I could have ever asked for, thought of, or imagined.

The ENTIRE staff is skilled, knowledgeable, and exceptionally kind. Whether I have one or all kids with me, they remember their names. And this next thing is what takes the cake…one of my daughters had a sudden and severe medical emergency that introduced tremendous financial strain for our family. They temporarily paused our payments without any questions and showed the utmost respect and compassionate support.

I recommend Sherman and Balhoff a million times over. You will be pleased!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your heartfelt review! We take pride in our skilled and compassionate team, and we're glad to have supported you during such a challenging time. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Breckelle D.
My experience today at Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics was great. I had all three of my kids with me, and the staff were incredibly understanding and patient with them. My oldest was especially curious and wanted to be right in the middle of everything while I was getting my braces on, and they handled it so kindly and professionally. They made the whole experience comfortable and stress-free, even with my little crew there. I really appreciate how welcoming and accommodating everyone was. I cant wait to go back in 8 weeks to get my bottom braces on.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled that our team created a welcoming environment for you and your children. We look forward to seeing you again!
Kayla C.
I am so grateful to the wonderful people working at Sherman & Balhoff. My journey to a new smile only lasted a little over a year and I am so happy with my smile today! 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kayla, for your kind words! We're delighted that your journey to a beautiful smile was a positive experience. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we look forward to seeing you again!
Kegelle S.
I went for my consultation on Wednesday to the prairieville location. I was very satisfied on the professionalism shown to me by staff. Although I live in Baker, La I work closer to the prairieville location which is why I chose them. I was informed for my future visits I’d can go to other location but I’d rather continue to go to prairieville regardless.
You chose them you won’t be disappointed, I wasn’t.
Looking forward to next visits.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
A C.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our team met your expectations and provided the support you needed. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to serving you again!
Loren R.
All the staff are cheerful and engaging. The doctor took time to get to know my 7 year old son and explain the treatment needs well. The office is clean and professional with a unique kids area in the waiting room. They treated my wife when she was a child, so I guess that makes us second generation patients. Let’s geaux! 🙌🏻
Response from the owner:Thank you, Loren! We’re thrilled to hear your positive experience with our team and that your son felt comfortable. It's wonderful to serve second-generation patients. We appreciate your support! Let’s geaux! 🙌🏻
Katarina S.
They take their time to explain every step of the process, answers all questions thoroughly, and makes both kids and parents feel completely comfortable. You can tell they truly care about their patients and take pride in their work. The results have been amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress so far.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's rewarding to know that our commitment to thorough explanations and creating a comfortable atmosphere has made a positive impact on your experience. We're thrilled with your amazing results!

We had the most amazing experience! The office staff was super friendly, very helpful and put us at ease immediately. Dr. Sherman was phenomenal. So happy we were referred to this practice. Highly recommend!!

Dykeashua M.
From the moment we stepped inside, we were met with smiles and helpful hands. It was our first visit, and they made us feel right at home. Sarah was wonderful when we were dealing with the paperwork and X-Rays. She took her time explaining everything, making sure we understood each step. She kept us informed about what was coming next and was incredibly patient throughout. The whole office was such a great experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Dykeashua! We’re thrilled to hear about your positive experience. Sarah’s dedication to explaining each step truly reflects our commitment to providing exceptional service. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Erica D.
The entire staff is so caring at Sherman & Balhoff. Three of our children have been in treatment there. Their smiles are amazing from their treatment with Dr. Balhoff.

At our most recent visit, I received an important medical call regarding one of my children. The phone conversation made me a little teary-eyed, but Cassie was so kind after I got off the phone. She sincerely wished us luck with our medical issue, and I could see her earnest compassion.

A week after that visit, I received a beautiful surprise flower bouquet at my door. The card read, "Our prayers are with you and your daughter. Sending a little brightness and lots of love."-Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics

Thank you Cassie, Dr. Balhoff, and everyone at Sherman & Balhoff! Beautiful smiles and so much more!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your heartfelt review, Erica. We're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with our team. Your family's smiles are our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us during challenging times.
Ashley L.
My daughter passed out and knocked her front tooth out. The day after we were able to get an appointment here and they were absolutely AMAZING!! I was in tears When we left because they took such good care of us after a traumatic event the night before. 10000/10 recommend!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Ashley. We're glad we could support you and your daughter during such a challenging time. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We're here for you whenever you need us!
H N.
Our youngest got her braces this morning and we had a wonderful experience at Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics. Alexis and Dr. Sherman were incredibly attentive, patient, and kind. They explained every step clearly, which really helped. She felt comfortable and well cared for the entire visit. She was actually here back in 2018 with her older brother and now she’s a patient in the chair herself. Alexis also gave us a care bag and took the time to show us how to use everything, which we really appreciated. We truly appreciate the professionalism and great communication from the whole team. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your youngest had a positive experience with us. Our team strives to provide attentive care and clear communication. We appreciate your recommendation!
