Treatment letter from endodontist

I received this letter from an endodontist (not the one we usually refer to) regarding a patient of ours who went there due to him being in network with her insurance.

I feel bad crowning this tooth, as I feel his prognosis of “fair” is overly optimistic. I don’t want to throw him under the bus with the patient, but I don’t feel like I should just pretend everything is great either. He also maxed out her benefits so any restoration we do would be out of pocket for her.

Any advice would be appreciated.
