My apologies, I forgot if I'm giving an update I should put it here:
Just wanted to say a big
to all of you for your help.
I finally saw a new Podiatrist yesterday.
He was great, I trust him, & he was sympathetic
to my frustration that the previous Dr.
hadn't explained anything about her Dx .
Turns out I was 100% misdiagnosed.
Not Plantar Fasciitis, it's neuropathy
due to nerve damage w/diabetes.
No cure, & I can't take most Rx due to my kidneys,
but I'm getting used to that.
I'm just thankful for the right answers.
Thanks again!

OP:
I have a question for anyone who works in a medical office.
I saw a Podiatrist a month or so ago and I want to try another one in town
for the same medical problem.
I don't need a referral, I can go to any specialist I desire in network,
and it doesn't matter that I was already seen (per my insurance rep).
Here's my question: If I make an appt. with the new Dr. do I have to tell them I saw the previous Dr.?
And, would that office know that I had been seen by the previous Dr.?
I really just want a brand new diagnosis without having to tell the new Dr.
what the previous Dr. said (I was not thrilled with her attitude, suggestions & treatment).
TIA for any help.
