Dr. Beverley Joan Short

Dr. Short was my pediatrician. I still remember visiting her years after as a young man and finally sharing with her my impression of her wonderful Tennessee accent. Recalling all the times as a child I would get scolded for replying to my mother in that accent when I was told it was time to "go see Dr Short". She was a wonderful, caring, compassionate person. She will be deeply missed, but I pray and look forward to the day we shall see one another again. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine,...

I´m not sure where to begin we have known Joan for almost 50 years she shared many holidays with us including Thanksgiving at The Corner House & she always sent the most beautiful centerpieces Her favorite drink back in the day was an Apricot Sour I´m sure it´s very southern She was very proud of her roots Of color we can´t forget St Paddy´s Day we always had so much fun She will be missed. All our love Kathleen Edward Melissa Erika Mackenzie & Robert

So sad to hear of her passing. She was my daughter´s doctor for years until she closed her practice in Staten Island. Such a wonderful doctor and human. May she rest in peace. So sad to read this.

I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. I had the pleasure of working under her direction in pediatrics at USPH service hospital on SI. She was a compassionate , intelligent & loving person. My condolences to her family.
