Abnormal sperm morphology?

Hi there. I'd really appreciate if anyone has experience in this area for some insight! DH and I have an appt with RE because tests showed he has a high level of abnormal sperm morphology... I'm really confused about what this means for us. What is likely to happen at the appt? Is there anything that can be done? Thanks in advance for your help

    What was his percent? Normal is 4% or greater. My husbands is 2% and the RE or urologist didn't seem too concerned (our main issue is very low motility). Did they suggest seeing a urologist?

    My hubs first test showed low morphology, but second test came out fine. The same sample can be interpreted differently. I would get a second opinion from a different lab.
