Simon Reid

Simon Reid is the father of Elliot Reid.
Simon Reid is a doctor, and the Chief of Medicine at St. Augustine's in Greenwich, Connecticut. His influence resulted in all his offspring wanting to become doctors as well. He wanted Elliot to be a boy, thus the reason naming her a boy's name. He is very wealthy, and does not like it when Elliot leads her life in directions which he doesn't want her to. ("My Old Man")
Simon pressured Elliot into the OB-GYN field with which she disagreed, but he felt entitled to get what he wanted because he paid for all of her schooling and her current living expenses. After her refusal, Simon cut her off financially.
