The Cleveland Clinic has a podiatric division. Hopefully those podiatrists work there have some idea of how a podiatrist should handle a patient and what conditions they are qualified to evaluate.

If I did not comprehend what you posted perhaps you didn't write clearly. You seemed to agree that the OPs DPM did exactly what should have been done. I would want my doctor to ask some questions and do an exam to r/o podiatric etiologies. Not just send me back to the internist until that minimum has been done.
