For anyone needing to lose a great deal of weight, I urge you to ignore the first review that you see on here. My experience is this. I joined Compass Fat Loss in June of 2017. My weight was 372.2 when I began the program. One year later I reached my low weight of 215.8. Dr. Kusher and his staff are marvelous. When I first sat down to talk with Dr. Kusher before starting the program I immediately could tell this was a person that really cared about what he does, which is helping people lose a lot of weight and get healthy. He obviously loves what he does and he takes great pride in all the successes that his program has had, as he should. As for the previous review saying it was "disgustingly expensive", exactly what is your health worth ? Back in 2017 the program was actually more expensive than it is now, and given the results, it was a bargain back then and even more of a bargain now. Fast forward to 2020. I had gained some of the weight back due to my own mistakes. The biggest one being not keeping the lines of communication open with Compass. I am not anywhere close to the weight I started at in 2017, but I knew I needed to nip this in the bud. So I reached out to Compass for a re-start. I had a personal conversation with Dr. Kusher on the phone and he told me that if I have any important questions to contact him directly during the initial 6 weeks. He cared about what I needed to do just as much this time as when I first walked into the office back in June of 2017. I don't get personal replies immediately as there are many clients for them to keep track of. The previous reviewer seems to think you should get attention like you are the only person on the program. That's simply not realistic as they must keep track of many. But I will say if I ever need a quick answer to something, I can always call and get one. Dr. Kusher, his staff and the Compass program are simply the best. Don't believe me ? Here is a short video of me appearing on the show "Better Connecticut" with another client and with Dr, Kusher. https://www.wtnh.com/ct-style/compass-fat-loss-talks-new-technology/1359640557/?fbclid=IwAR0-4gBNnef7QnkHU8NZkRjzCQPIoXZ4J7aamly_F88KTdhiMDkHXqweyNo I am very much looking forward to working with Dr, Kusher and the staff at Compass and getting back to my goal weight. Only this time I will stay in contact with Compass so I can reach out for guidance and assistance before anything hits critical mass. Dr. Kusher always says you get out of the program what you put into it. And that is totally true. I am living proof. read more

I started this program in March 2023. They were very flexible with my start date as I was taking advantage of a discount promotion in January. I found the program during the first 6 weeks to be somewhat challenging for me but not impossible. After that it became much easier. The support was excellent! They have an app that keeps you connected daily and details the program and is full of helpful tools along with a Facebook page where I continue to get support from others on the program. Dr Kusher and his staff respond to questions quickly and you can reach out for an appointment anytime you need some extra guidance. I have lost about 60 lbs so far with a goal of 100 lbs. I've recently had a period of of not losing consistently. Dr K. was wonderful! Not judgemental- just empathetic and encouraging. He won't give up on you! I highly recommend them if you need to lose a lot of weight without using meds and want to lead a healthier lifestyle!! read more

Compass Fat Loss is amazing! I tried a few other "plans" to lose weight but without much success. When I first met with Dr. Kusher he told me he could give me the tools but I had to provide the dedication and the heart to do it. That statement alone gave me what I needed to succeed. The plan is not easy at first, especially being vegetarian, and I wasn't sure I would make it! But with the support of Dr. Kusher and his staff I did it and am proud of myself. I've lost 35 pounds and kept it of for a year now. I have learned so much about how my body reacts to different foods and am adjusting where needed to maintain! Compass Fat Loss is the lifestyle change I needed to be healthy and comfortable in my body! I can't thank Dr. Kusher and his staff enough for this program and for their support! If I can do this, anyone can! read more

Absolutely the best weight loss Dr and support for me! After being in the hospital for almost 1 yr my weight and my physical condition was not in control at all.

I still after 2 yrs am in constant contact with them. I was able to loose 80 pounds with the constant support and consultation from Dr Kuchner and his staff.

I'm so thrilled I found Compass Fat Loss. I tried to lose weight over the past few years and was unsuccessful until I enrolled at CFL. I'll never forget when Dr. Kusher asked what do I want to lose. I told him and he said I want you to be healthier. Yes, your initial visit is with Dr. K and then with a coach. The program incorporates hands-on support with Dr. K, the coaches, a personal journal, recommended daily meals, recipes and the wonderful Facebook group. Once you go to the other side, so to speak, you think you want sweets or carbs at least most of the time, the you try them and doesn't taste good - you have been transformed for life! read more

I feel very fortunate to have found Compass Fat Loss. CFL has shown me how to, fairly quickly, lose 45 pounds and maintain it for a year and a half to date. Coaches and Dr. Kusher supported and assisted every step of the way. This program was, and is, very easy to follow, and I was rarely hungry while losing. It allows me to be healthier, and happier, knowing my weight will not be a negative health factor as I age. Cathy Meriden read more

Where does Yelp get off?? We rate 5 stars on all other social media sites, yet Yelp removes all our great reviews and keeps the few negative ones...with no contact number or even an email to dispute this. Something fishy here...Be nice if someone from Yelp contacted the company owner, but that seems out of the question! read more
