David Coster, M.D., F.A.C.S.
joined Dr. Bower and Dr. Wilson as the third surgeon in 1991 after completing his residency at Iowa Methodist Medical Center. He was instrumental in the development of new applications for laparoscopy. With Dr. Coster's vision, the Grinnell General Hospital changed from a primary care hospital to a state-of-the-art regional medical center that now includes a formal trauma program, expanded intensive care capabilities, and added surgical services in vascular and thoracic surgery. Surgical Associates became known both regionally and nationally for its work in the application of laparoscopy to general surgical problems.
