Emily Taing Watson

Dr. EMILY WATSON is an orthodontist, business owner, and the daughter of Cambodian-Chinese refugees who rebuilt their lives in small-town Indiana after surviving the Khmer Rouge. Drawing on the values of faith, gratitude, and relentless hard work, Watson became one of the few women of color to own and operate a multi-location orthodontic practice in the Midwest. A first-generation American and graduate of Butler University, she now mentors aspiring dental professionals while running a practice known for its warmth, excellence, and community focus. She lives in Indiana with her husband and daughters.
