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.
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! 😊
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!

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! 🙌🏻

They take their time to explain every step of the process, answers all questions thoroughly, and makes both kids and parents feel completely comfortable.

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!

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!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Angela! We're thrilled to hear that your girls' smiles are beautiful and that our team made a positive impression. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you again!
Monique R.
Arianna deserves the highest praise. My daughter has extremely sensitive teeth, and during an emergency visit to repair her permanent retainer, Arianna was truly exceptional. She took her time, moved very slowly, and used thoughtful techniques to help reduce my daughter’s pain and discomfort throughout the entire process. She was constantly checking in, adjusting as needed, and never once made us feel rushed. Her patience, gentleness, and genuine compassion turned what could have been a very stressful experience into a calm and reassuring one. Arianna’s level of care and attention went far beyond what is expected.

Dr. Balhoff is an outstanding orthodontist with an unmatched bedside manner. He is warm, attentive, and extremely intentional about explaining every detail, which builds immediate trust and confidence. His office environment is comfortable and welcoming, and both my daughter and I always feel heard, respected, and well cared for.

This entire practice is exceptional. From the doctors to the assistants, everyone works seamlessly as a team and consistently demonstrates professionalism, kindness, and a true commitment to patient care. We are incredibly grateful for the experience we’ve had here and cannot recommend this office highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Arianna and Dr. Balhoff. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care, and your feedback truly motivates us.
Emily G.
We are always well taken care of at Sherman and Balhoff! Friendly faces all around, and the sweetest Ms. Ashley at the front desk!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Emily! We're thrilled to hear you feel well taken care of at Sherman & Balhoff. Our team, especially Ms. Ashley, is dedicated to providing a friendly and welcoming experience. We appreciate your kind words!
