Yes. While Jerome also stood out even in season one, the Dollmaker was the worst villain at the time. He had his men kidnap kids, he captured various people and subjected them to horrible experiments, and he even killed his henchmen in ways that I cannot even describe. There is also the fact that Fish, who isn't an angel herself, expresses disgust over both his actions and his treatment of others in general.

As far as people who conduct unethical experiments go, Hugo may be worse, but Dollmaker might be a bit more sadist. Think about it. Hugo is mostly a monster because he is a coward who switches sides on top of only caring about himself. Dollmaker has as little if not even less regard for human life and even targeted childern. So in a way he is at least more of sadist than Strange despite his actions not being as bad given the amount of damage Hugo helped cause.
