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.
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.
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!
Angela L.

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.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Misti, for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Stephen and our team made your experience positive. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we appreciate your kind words!

My son just got his braces at the Prairieville location. Very friendly staff, Rachel did a great job explaining the financial aspects of the treatment. Roxanne and Dr. Sherman did a great job at making him feel comfortable while getting his braces put on. Thank you.

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.
