They offer only one alternate schedule which requires more visits. In their words, this is a "courtesy" offer . Anything else, they are not willing to listen or "negotiate"

As a mom who was planning on having her son circumsized, I was appauled and disgusted when I researched this unneccesary cosmetic procedure and after vomiting (yes I actually threw up) when I watched a video of a newborn baby being circumsized I changed my mind and my son is intact

No, they're talking about "alternative" vaccine schedules which would require more visits (because you're not doing the combo shots.)

I am so glad you are open minded. I sent you a private message when I first spotted your post, asking you if you needed info about circumcision. In mean time lots of posters have volunteered to post some info.

Here is the circ board -
The Case Against Circumcision

You should know that 80% of the men in the world are not circumcised. It is an Jewish custom and has nothing to do with non-Jews other than creating a huge business.

When I was in Europe I met a woman who was pregnant. Somehow we got on the subject of circumcision and she told me that her dh was in Europe playing on an (well known) international ice hokey team. He was the only American and she confided, he was the only one on the team that was circumcised. She said he felt totally violated after all these years.

The foreskin is a very sexual part of the penis and the reason why they started to cut it off was because they didn't want boys to enjoy the pleasure of sex too much. (They actually wanted to discourage masturbation - it didn't work!)
