Dr. Michael Forbes

General dentistry in Northeast Minneapolis gets a local option at Dr. Michael Forbes, where routine checkups sit alongside fillings, crowns, and basic extractions. The practice operates out of the Stinson Boulevard corridor—a stretch that balances quiet residential pockets with the hum of nearby commercial strips. This isn’t the kind of place that leans into cosmetic trends or orthodontic specialties; instead, it sticks to the fundamentals: cleanings, X-rays, and the occasional emergency repair when a tooth decides to act up at the worst possible moment. Parking in the area can be hit or miss, but the building’s address, 4001 Stinson Blvd NE #426, places it in a cluster of professional offices that share lot space—so arriving a few minutes early might save you a walk from the far end.

For anyone who’s ever put off a dental visit until the last possible second, having a no-frills option nearby can be a relief. Questions about insurance coverage or what to expect from a procedure are best directed to the front desk; they’re the ones who’ll have the details, and you can reach them at (612) 788-0751. If you’re mapping it out for the first time, the directions will show you it’s just a short drive from the Columbia Heights border—close enough to the city’s core without the downtown chaos. No grand promises here, just a dentist’s office that handles the essentials and leaves the rest to the specialists.
