D Magazine has always been one of my sources for entertainment and the social scene around Dallas since I moved here two years ago. I attend quite a few D-hosted events around town, so imagine my delight when, at a recent event, I struck up a conversation with the Audience Development Director who invited me to be a featured subscriber in an upcoming issue! On the day of my "photo shoot" I got a tour of their 21st floor offices in Downtown Dallas. Big open windows everywhere gave an amazing view of some Dallas landmarks (Old Red Museum, Reunion Tower, Margaret Hunt Hill bridge etc.). It was interesting to see a little bit of the process in how they lay out the magazine articles. Everyone I met was very friendly.
So what do I LOVE about D Magazine! (Might be a shorter list to say what I do not like. #BlankList) Great articles - well written and witty, Great recommendations on events around town, restaurants, businesses, "The Best" series ... the list goes on and on! I have attended D-Magazine hosted events like restaurant openings (complimentary food and drink provided), Art events (complimentary tix to DIFF films), and looking forward to their NewComer, Welcome to Dallas Happy Hour at the gorgeous Marie Gabrielle Gardens on 5/17/17 (more complimentary food and drinks - review to come on that later!) My FAVE FAVORITE though ... The Best of Big D Party!
What is it you ask? So in D Magazine (also their digital mag) you can always find articles on the best of Dallas - The best Dining, the best Bars, the best Shops, Doctors, Lawyers etc. ... you get the drift. Readers get to vote among multiple categories and and once a year (last year it was in August) they celebrate all these businesses with a PARTY!. There is a regular admission and a VIP admission option. I sprang for the VIP (think it was around $50 to $75?) and got a wonderful bag of goodies, including multiple gift certificates to some of the restaurants and entertainment businesses who were in attendance. Additionally there was unlimited food and drinks from all the "best of Big D"spots. Amazing venue, great music, photo booths, and just great people watching. If you live in Dallas and love being social, you should try to attend this event at least once. And grab a copy of D whenever you can, you will not be sorry.
D Magazine presented Dr. Alhadef as "the best" dentist in October 2020. I called the magazine and I was told that only good reviews were taken into consideration. I sent emails, messages , but D magazine didn't respond. How can this dentist be called "the best dentist "?
I would NEVER recommend Dr. Alhadef. One of the implants he did failed 3 months later ( he refused to give a refund). The other implant he did has never functioned properly. I was in pain and expressed my concerns multiple times. When I came for an appointment to have it adjusted because it was hitting my bottom tooth too hard, he wanted to charge me again ( I had already paid thousands of dollars for the tooth). I chose see another dentist. I've seen 3 other dentists and they all told me it was not done correctly and it has to be redone. You can see the metal post . It's like a cave where food gets stuck and it's very hard to get it out. Not only has it not functioned properly, but it also looks VERY UGLY. One of the other crowns he did was not placed correctly either and needs to be redone . He was NOT able to help me with my TMJ . I am still in a lot of pain. I would never recommend him as an orthodontist either. When he moved my teeth with braces, he didn't leave enough space for a regular size molar. One of my molars is twice smaller than my natural molars. It functions, but it looks very odd because it's tiny. The day he took my braces off I asked him about my retainers. He told his assistant I was asking too many questions and I needed another appointment . It made me feel like it was only about his monetary interests. To fix the mess he made I need about $10,000. I sent him the diagnosis and the ledgers from the dentists as he requested. Dr. Alhadef offered only $1000, if I take my review down. Unfortunately, $1000 is NOT enough to have this mess fixed.
I hope no other person has to go through what I have been going through.
Would you like to have a tooth like this and pay thousands of dollars for something that failed and never worked?

I just received the July 2019 issue, the best real estate agents in dallas, and surprisingly, they are 99% Caucasian. I counted exactly FIVE non-caucasian faces in the entire issue, including the illustrations and advertisements. Really D magazine? In 2019, THAT is the best you can do? Its such a shame... I only have 2 issues left on my subscription, but I am truly sickened by your lack of inclusion... I am canceling my subscription immediately.
This magazine is as good as it gets. Great local journalism, top notch recommendations, and one of the most user-friendly websites I've ever been to. Keep it up, D Magazine!
