Referral for a knowledgeable psychiatrist in the NYC/NJ area.

Does anybody live in the NJ/NYC area that can provide a referral for a knowledgeable ADHD doctor? I do have very mild bipolar, but doctors always overfocus on that instead of the ADHD. I can function with just ADHD meds alone, but when I've been medicated exclusively for the bipolar, I was a vegetable. Someone who does the genetic testing would be nice. I'm pretty sure that I'm a rapid metabolizer from research online. eg Benadryl causing stimulation is an indicator, which in my case, is exactly what happens. Thanks in advance!
