Choosing a primary care provider is like choosing a trusted friend, someone who knows you, listens to you and stands by you when you need them most. As Sharp open enrollment rolls around, that choice becomes even more important, especially if you live in Spring Valley, Lemon Grove, San Diego, or El Cajon. That’s where Dr. Suzanne Afflalo at IWC Primary Care comes in. With a deep commitment to personalized care, she’s part of the Sharp Community Medical Group (SCMG), ensuring you get the best of both worlds: compassionate, individualized attention with the backing of a robust healthcare network.
Listening: The Foundation of Great Care
Imagine walking into your doctor’s office and feeling truly heard. That’s what you can expect at IWC Primary Care. Dr. Suzanne Afflalo, along with Nurse Practitioners Danielle Gordon and Monica Cistrone, has a way of making you feel like you’re the only patient in the world during your appointment. They listen not just to your symptoms but to your story—because they know that’s where true healing begins.
One patient put it this way: “When I sat down with Dr. Afflalo, I felt like she was really paying attention. She wasn’t just going through the motions; she was listening to me, and that made all the difference.” It’s this level of care that sets IWC Primary Care apart, creating a space where your voice matters and your health is the priority.
Timely Care When You Need It Most
We all know how life can throw curveballs, especially when it comes to our health. That’s why it’s so important to have a healthcare team that can respond quickly when you need them. At IWC Primary Care, Dr. Afflalo, alongside NP Danielle Gordon and NP Monica Cistrone, understands that sometimes you can’t wait weeks to see a doctor. Whether it’s an acute sickness or an unexpected health concern, they’re committed to offering same-week appointments whenever possible.
One patient shared, “I wasn’t feeling well and needed to see someone quickly.

Unrushed Appointments: Quality Time with Your Doctor
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to find a healthcare team that takes the time to really get to know you. But at IWC Primary Care, unrushed appointments are the norm, not the exception. Dr. Afflalo, NP Danielle Gordon, and NP Monica Cistrone believe in giving their patients the time they need to discuss their concerns, understand their health, and work together on a plan that’s right for them.
A patient recently said, “Dr. Afflalo doesn’t rush you through your appointment. She takes the time to explain things, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable with your care plan. It’s like talking to a friend who just happens to be a doctor.” This approach isn’t just about treating your symptoms; it’s about building a relationship that supports your long-term health.
Patient Point Technology: Empowering Your Health Journey
At IWC Primary Care, they believe that knowledge is power. That’s why they’ve integrated Patient Point technology into every exam room. This state-of-the-art system brings medical information to life, using interactive 3D models and educational resources to help you better understand your health.
Imagine sitting with Dr. Afflalo as she explains a condition using a 3D model that you can see and interact with. It takes the mystery out of medicine and makes it easier to grasp what’s going on inside your body. One patient mentioned, “The 3D models really helped me understand my condition better. It was like having a mini-lesson during my appointment, anexd it made me feel more confident about my treatment.” This technology ensures that you’re not just a passive recipient of care, but an active participant in your health journey.
