“The five flavors enter the stomach and are transported to the five corresponding zang organs. Sour corresponds to the liver, pungent to the lungs, bitter to the heart, sweet to the spleen, and salty to the kidneys….”

Desert Crane Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine offers a comprehensive holistic approach to healthcare. We see all patients as unique individuals in harmony with their environment.

Our clinic is operated by Roger L. Fenneman and Hsiao Hsien Chu, partners in life and work. After having studied in China at Shangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine and Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine for 3.5 years and a successful clinical practice in Glendale, AZ for 15 years, we are pursuing our dream of building a life and Practice here in the Verde Valley. Desert Crane Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine will encompass over 22 years of clinical and empirical experience in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Our goal is to provide the community with a place for alternative, holistic care as a primary healthcare or adjunct to traditional medicine.
​
While Acupuncture may be familiar to the community, many of our patients are solely using herbal formula treatments. Desert Crane offers a comprehensive herbal pharmacy of over 300 individual herbs. We compose herbal formulas based on each patient's medical condition, symptoms and signs and patterns. Herbal formulas are filled at our clinic as well as prepared in decoction and tincture forms.
​
Evergreen Essentials, our product brand is available over the counter. All herbal products are formulated by Roger L. Fenneman, L.Ac.; produced and manufactured in small batches at Desert Crane Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine.
